"The Cure have always been prominent (and limitless) world-builders, but what about how these worlds are seen from the other side? The beauty of "Songs Of A Lost World" wasn’t that it proved the Cure still had it; it was all gorgeous hues of the band’s consistent sense of foreboding. This is where "Lost World" picks up. "Mixes Of A Lost World" feels like an entirely expected step, one that highlights all of "Lost World"‘s lost words in technicolour, storyboarding Smith’s inner mind with the freedom of unrestricted conventions. Just like the source material, these undeniable strokes of melancholy also give it an additional sense of vibrancy, taking the band’s original motifs without trying to turn them into something different, something far away from what makes them so great in the first place. Perhaps that’s the real beauty of "Mixes"; it takes what’s already there and enhances it, giving it more means for possibility beyond the world we’re already familiar with."
