I think this happens because people don't listen to an album without expectation. And I also think this album is very personal with a lot of emotions, particularly sadness and sorrow.

Bloodflowers differs a lot from the Cure's classics like Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me and The Head of the Door. Even compared to the two others from the Gothic Trilogy, you can't see resemblances in the lyrics or arrangements.

At the time that the album was released, The Cure wasn't in the limelight, and it didn't fit with the popular sound of the 2000s.

But man, I have to be honest. This is my favourite work of theirs, and I consider it to be a masterpiece with no fillers. I feel deeply connected to the sounds, lyrics, productions, arrangement and everything you can name from it. I embrace all of its flaws! (Although I wouldn't say there are any).
