The sound is awful, fuzzy, maybe the worst sounding CD I've purchased in the last few years. Regarding content, I thought the first two and last song were somewhat inspired. But the rest sounded like '80s filler, listless and droning. Sick of these fanboys rating everything by their favorite band 5/5, cost me $30 wasted for the deluxe CD because of it. Lyrics should have a Surgeon General's Warning as potentially suicide-inducing, but no surprise given Robert Smith's present-day deranged catlady/hoarder/on-the-verge-of-homelessness appearance. (Does he actually have a hairdresser that does that to him and then tells him: Looks great Robert, go break a leg.) He should borrow his guitarist's ill-fitting, animal print, matted faux fur coat to complete the look. TIP: Listen FREE on You Tube first BEFORE purchasing. You'll thank me later.
