The Cure | Charlotte Sometimes | Fiction | 1981 | From “Killing An Arab” through to “Primary”, the Cure have produced a wild variety of excellent singles. This one is closer to the sombre mood of their LPs (first one excepted) than the persistent beat of previous 45’s, and although it’ll doubtless waft them into the lower reaches of the Chart again, it’s unlikely to carry them further.
Shame, because there somewhere is a much more accessible song; it’s positively bursting to get out by the end. I dare you to put your picture on the cover of the next one, Robert. Smiling. (Record Mirror, 10/10/81)
