        Wish is a discreet album. It is obvious that after the masterpiece album "Disintegration", Wish seems barely enough;
        but actually if you listen to "Wish" well, it's not just enough album at all, quite the contrary.
        For me it will always be the Cure's most underrated album.

        Wish è un album discreto. E' ovvio che dopo l'album capolavoro “Disintegration”, Wish sembra appena sufficiente;
        ma in realtà se ascolti "Wish" non è affatto un album sufficiente, anzi.
        Per me sarà sempre l'album più sottovalutato dei Cure.

          30th Anniversary Edition just released and sold out within an hour. Why would Robert Smith do such a limited release? I've been waiting for this forever and managed to snag a copy, but they should have done a larger pressing for the Cure fans.
