"This album really flies under the radar for most people, and it deserves way more credit than it gets. Musically, it is brilliant with the group combining both their darker side and their more pop centred side. This leads to a fantastic contrast between the songs which is best displayed by Open and Friday I'm In Love where one is atmospheric and haunting and the latter is happy and upbeat. You get the best of both sides of the Cure on this record and so it has something for everyone. Lyrically, it is a masterpiece, just like every Cure album, with Robert Smith weaving his tales from song to song and forcing us to think deeper on his words. His wordsmanship is on another level and his lyrics demand and deserve attention paid to them and the way he delivers them is brilliant. The lyrics as well as the music is great at making you become introspective as well and the group set up a fantastic atmosphere for us to be able to wallow and dwell in. They maintain this gloomy environment throughout and when they do slip into their more upbeat style it is still tainted with darkness hidden in the music and so songs like Friday I'm In Love and Doing The Unstuck feel like a small and brief candle in a pitch black room. Every song is great on here as well and only add to the suspense of the atmosphere so no song is skippable. The instrumentation is phenomenal throughout and the Cure really have a unique way of performing that always make their music stand out and feel special. Overall, their albums feel special because the group themselves are a one of a kind band we will probably never see the likes of again and this album is amongst the greatest they have ever made and it really deserves to be appreciated more in their discography and in the world of music as a whole."

"Controversial opinion, perhaps... but for me "Wish" stands only behind "Disintegration" as The Cure's finest album. Can't think of another album's two book-end tracks that I love as much as "Open" and "End.""

Until Songs of a Lost World, the last Great album from The Cure. A victory lap after reaching their creative apex with Disintegration in which the band is, relative to them, unburdened for the first time in a long while. As robust as they've ever sounded with the same adventure and earnestness as their poppier work. If it doesn't reach their highest highs, it comes damn close.

1. Open
2. High
6. Doing The Unstuck

Good timing. RIP Perry Bamonte. From The Edge of The Deep Green Sea is such an extraordinary tune.
