Robert Smith’s difficult relationship with the album “4:13 Dream”

Robert Smith in an interview with Annie Mac And Nick Grimshaw Smith talked about his relationship with the album dei Care“4:13Dream” (read the review here). Thinking back to the 2008 album, his band’s last effort, before the recent one “Songs Of A Lost World” (read the review here), he said he was not completely satisfied, explaining that the album, once released, did not correspond to his initial vision.

Here’s what the frontman of the British band had to say: “If I’m honest, in 2008 I was trying to make an album, a double album and it was really strange.

It had a lot of stuff in it, instrumental stuff, and I was forced to boil it down into a single album. I’ve never been happy about it.”

He went on to explain that he was tempted to start working on the album again to capture the vision he originally had: “It makes me a little angry. At a certain point, before I collapse, I’m stubborn… I’m there 13 songs from those sessions that were never released and the idea of ​​”4:13 Dream” was like a fever dream, it turned out, it wasn’t even close to that what I wanted it to be. I learned a lesson there, and maybe that’s why we didn’t make another album for so long! I hated the idea of ​​turning it in by the deadline. I should have just ignored everyone of being commoditized, and it really upset me a lot.”
