Album songs of Bloodflowers - The Cure
Bloodflowers is the eleventh album by English band The Cure, released in 2000. The album is seen as a sombre return to form by critics and fans alike. Robert Smith has expressed on several occasions that the album is the final part in his "trilogy" (the 3 albums he feels best define the Cure), the first being the 1982 album Pornography, and the second being the 1989 album Disintegration.
Bloodflowers is considered by many Cure fans to be a return to the band's roots after the stylistic departure of Wild Mood Swings. It is the third and final album in Robert Smith's "trilogy" of the three albums he feels most express The Cure. In 2002, the band performed Pornography, Disintegration, and Bloodflowers in their entirety to a Berlin audience, and released the recording on DVD in 2003, titled The Cure: Trilogy.
Bloodflowers was a moderate success, debuting at #16 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, eventually selling 300,000 copies in America. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 2001.
The album is the last so far to feature extensive use of keyboards. The 2004 album The Cure uses keyboards much more sparingly and after the departure of Roger O'Donnell following the release of the album and the following tour, the band was stripped down to a 4-piece, featuring no keyboards at all.
On the 2007-2008 4Tour, the band played "Out of This World", "Watching Me Fall" (once in Mexico City on October 22, 2007), "Maybe Someday", and "Bloodflowers" at various shows.
"39" was last performed on the 2004 Curiosa Tour.
Except for the 2002 Trilogy shows in Berlin, the other songs have not been played since the 2000 Dream Tour, although "Last Day of Summer" was soundchecked for 2008, but never played.
