Wild Mood Swings  by The Cure

Wild Mood Swings is the tenth studio album by the British band The Cure, released on May 6, 1996, and is characterized by its musical diversity and the change in the band's lineup. It received mixed reviews and had lower sales compared to their previous works, although Robert Smith ranks it among his favorites. It was the first album after the departure of drummer Boris Williams and guitarist Porl Thompson. A new member was drummer Jason Cooper.

The recordings took place in a renovated mansion, St Catherine's Court, and were characterized by the use of computers and live strings, as well as a more experimental approach, where neo-psychedelia made its strong presence felt. Wild Mood Swings received mixed reviews from critics and fans. While some praised its eclectic approach and lighter songs, others considered it incoherent and a weak follow-up to the successful Wish.

Although it reached No.9 on the UK Albums Chart and No.12 on the US Billboard 200, it was The Cure's album with the lowest sales in the last 12 years, marking a downward trend in their sales.
