If Clint were here he'd no doubt give the new Cure single a good kicking.. The poor chap almost got lynched after his last review, he received death threats and is now under 24 police protection. He has to check under his car for explosives every morning he drives to work. It's no life that, I tell thee. Poor chap's life destroyed, he's constantly looking over his shoulder and gets "the fear" about 7 times a day. The last time I saw him he was constantly looking out of the window and sweating "There're coming" he'd say. To ensure the personal safety of my colleagues I've stepped up and I'm gonna spout off about 'The Perfect Boy'. They're still as popular as ever and their influence is there for all to see but you're just left wanting the older sound. I dunno what to make of it really. Phil says its awful though so go and get him.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
