"Wild Mood Swings: Disintegrating The Cure Album by Album"/Martin Popoff [Episode 141]

Martin Popoff returns to the podcast. He’s got a brand-new book out titled <i>Wild Mood Swings: Disintegrating The Cure</i> <i>Album By Album</i>. <br /><br />Presented in a Q&amp;A format, the book takes a critical analysis of The Cure’s 13 studio albums utilizing a panel of music critics who appeared on Martin’s video channel The Contrarians. As a bonus to the discussion, Martin created a detailed timeline linked to each album. This book will give long-time fans a new appreciation for the music created by this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band fronted by Robert Smith.<br /><br />Martin and I get into a discussion of The Cure. Were they post-punk? Did they launch the gothic rock genre? We also get into a side discussion about bands and artists who’ve been around for a long time. Is there a point where their creative well runs dry?
