Reviews
"With big, melodic choruses and detuned guitars drenched in reverb carry each track to dizzying heights, pulling catharsis out of heartbreak at eye level with the skyscrapers.", "WISH showcases Smith’s considerable skills as a craftsman....The jangly guitars and perky tempo of 'Friday I’m in Love' prove he can still concoct a catchy single...", "...The Cure demonstrate considerable skill at laying down grooves to induce either dance or trance...", Recommended - "...showcases vocalist, guitarist Smith's considerable skills as a craftsman...", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...this outstanding album, like all the Cure's best music, runs on its own brash logic, making a virtue of its emotional polarities...", "Some of the most straightforward pop The Cure had ever written.", Included in Q's list of the 50 Best Albums Of 1992., 4 Stars - Excellent - "...comes respectably close to being the perfect Cure album..."
