Apparently, most people love watching the same basic thing [actions shows on TV], as long as the details are different. But I'm just the opposite: if I'm going to sit and watch the same thing I saw the night before, I don't want it to be essentially the same – I want it to be exactly the same. Because the more you look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier you feel.

The Cure’s 8th studio album was released on 2 May 1989.
As the band’s commercial success increased, Robert Smith felt the band’s music was misunderstood and that he had not created an album that would endure. Smith wrote more than 30 songs, most of which reflected his depression (which Smith attributed to “the fact that I was gonna be thirty”).
Recording of the album was complicated by founding member Lol Tolhurst’s struggle with alcohol, which led to his dismissal from the band, as well as the label’s displeasure in the finished album, which they complained to Smith was “willfully obscure.”
