Video of the Day

Today we have the new Cure video, "Sleep When I'm Dead". It's an interesting tune and a sonic departure for the band. I think I actually like it. While 'sleep when I'm dead' does get repeated quite a bit, it's nice to hear a real change in guitar work. Gone are the clean jangles of the typical Smith track. Instead we have upfront aggressive stuff reminiscent of The Edge's work.

As for the video. Blech. Robert's already looking his age. Washing out all the color and leaving us with nothing but shades of dingy blue is rough. Not to mention, this is another video that, besides hearing the song, does nothing except say, "Look at me for four minutes, I'm Robert Smith." A little creativity here could have gone a long way.
