Here are the New Releases for the week of October 28th, 2008

The Cure – ’4:13 Dream’ (also available in Vinyl)

The thirteenth studio album by The Cure was originally intended to be a double album, however frontman Robert Smith confirmed in recent interviews that this idea was scrapped, despite the fact that 33 songs have been recorded. Some songs featured on the album were recycled from earlier album sessions. An example is “Sleep When I’m Dead” which was originally written for the band’s 1985 album ‘The Head on the Door’ and “A Boy I Never Knew”, a re-recording of an unreleased song from 2004′s The Cure. Smith has said that the album will mostly comprise of the upbeat songs the band recorded, while the darker songs may be released on another album.

Snow Patrol – ‘A Hundred Million Suns’

This is the fifth studio release for the Irish/Scottish alternative rock band.
The album was recorded at the Hansa Studio in Berlin and Grouse Lodge Studio in Co. Westmeath, Ireland, through Summer 2008; with producer Garret “Jacknife” Lee. The album is a considerable departure from Snow Patrol’s earlier productions. Frontman Gary Lightbody said he wanted to make a cheerful record in contrast to their previous albums. Instead of describing a relationship’s end, the record was written in perspective of a relationship that is working. The band members took additional lessons before starting the recording. They have described the album as their best to date.
