一只很怪异，压抑的乐队。给人一种阴暗，潮湿，幽闭的感觉。

主唱Smith一改以往的精致和忧伤，而转向撕裂和狂躁。28年以来，Robert smith一直苦苦编织着Cure的黑色音乐之网。作为乐队的核心和灵魂人物，他决定着乐队的音乐风格以及气质的变化和走向。

2001年12月该乐队推出了精选集，便是一个极为典型的例证。老robert像个孩子般任性的在专辑封套上肆意的，他把他个人的一切都神秘的隐藏在他那引人注意的蜘蛛网般的黑发和血红的嘴唇后面，神经质般的涂抹着，再一次给人们带来他那病态的音乐之旅。

on candystripe legs the spiderman comes
softly through the shadow of the evening sun
stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
looking for the victim shivering in bed
searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
suddenly!
a movement in the corner of the room!
and there is nothing i can do
when i realise with fright
that the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!
quietly he laughs and shaking his head
creeps closer now
closer to the foot of the bed
and softer than shadow and quicker than flies
his arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
don't struggle like that or i will only love you more
for it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"
and i feel like i'm being eaten
by a thousand million shivering furry holes
and i know that in the morning i will wake up
in the shivering cold
and the spiderman is always hungry...
