***4:13 Dream*** is the thirteenth studio album by the English [rock](/source/Rock_music) band [the Cure](/source/The_Cure), released on 27 October 2008 by Suretone and [Geffen Records](/source/Geffen_Records). It was produced by [Robert Smith](/source/Robert_Smith_(musician)) and Keith Uddin.

The album was preceded by four singles, all of which were released on 13th of each month, starting in May with "[The Only One](/source/The_Only_One_(The_Cure_song))"[6] and ending in August with "[The Perfect Boy](/source/The_Perfect_Boy)". The band also released a remix EP in September, also on the 13th, titled *[Hypnagogic States](/source/Hypnagogic_States)* (2008), which featured remixes from [Fall Out Boy](/source/Fall_Out_Boy) and [Thirty Seconds to Mars](/source/Thirty_Seconds_to_Mars).[7] It was the band's last album of original material until *[Songs of a Lost World](/source/Songs_of_a_Lost_World)* (2024).

It received mixed reception from critics, with many feeling it was too similar to the band's previous output.

## Production

Some songs featured on the album were recycled demos from earlier album sessions. One track was from the 1990s and two were from the 1980s, including "[Sleep When I'm Dead](/source/Sleep_When_I'm_Dead)", which was originally written for the 1985 album *[The Head on the Door](/source/The_Head_on_the_Door)*.[8][9]

Smith co-produced the album with the assistance of Keith Uddin. Apart from the four band members and Uddin, no one was allowed in the recording sessions, in order to limit distractions. Smith said the band no longer screamed at each other over disagreements and that "The feeling in the studio [was] electric".[9] Guitarist [Porl Thompson](/source/Porl_Thompson) rejoined The Cure after quitting for several years to focus on his visual art career.

### Outtakes

*4:13 Dream* was originally intended to be a [double album](/source/Double_album); however, frontman [Robert Smith](/source/Robert_Smith_(musician)) confirmed in interviews that this idea was scrapped, despite the fact that 33 songs had been recorded.[10][11] Therefore, at least 20 additional songs were recorded for the album that did not make the final cut, with four being used for B-sides. Robert Smith has said, "Compiling a single CD album required a different approach (for one thing there was no longer the time to 'spread out' and connect the different moods as I had originally intended) and as a consequence a number of (my favourite!) slower songs and instrumental pieces were left unfinished and unreleased."[12] He also believed a double album version would be a limited release, mixed by himself, while the single album release would be compiled by the record company. He mentioned songs making the album included "Lusting in Your Mind", which he called "[heavy rock](/source/Hard_rock)", "Christmas Without You", which would go on to become "It Can Never Be The Same" and see release on *[40 Live (Curætion-25 + Anniversary)](/source/Curaetion_25)* (2018), "The Hungry Ghost", and "The Perfect Boy".[13] Only the last two tracks would see release on the album, with the first track remaining unreleased. Smith attested that the album would mostly comprise the upbeat songs the band recorded, while the darker songs may be released on another album.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

B-Sides / Outtakes Title Release "NY Trip" The Only One "All Kinds of Stuff" Freakshow "Down Under" Sleep When I'm Dead "Without You" The Perfect Boy "Lusting in Your Mind" Unreleased "Please Come Home" Unreleased "Christmas Without You" (It Can Never Be the Same) 40 Live (Curætion-25 + Anniversary)

Shortly after the release of *Songs of a Lost World*, Smith said that there are 14 or 15 songs from the *4:13 Dream* sessions that remain unreleased, which he has considered releasing in some form.[14]

## Promotion

On 6 October 2007, the Cure played the first song from the upcoming album, "The Only One" (then titled "Please Project") at the Download Festival in Mountain View, California as part of their [4Tour](/source/4Tour).[15] Following this, the band slowly introduced other songs from the album.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] In order to finish recording *4:13 Dream* by early 2008, they delayed their North American tour by eight months. Later in the tour, the band performed the songs "Underneath the Stars", "The Perfect Boy", "Sleep When I'm Dead", "Freakshow" (then titled "Don't Say Anything"), "The Only One" (then titled "Please Project") and "It's Over" (then titled "Baby Rag Dog Book") at various shows. Although rumoured to appear on the album from early reports,[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] another song, "A Boy I Never Knew", was omitted from the final track listing.

On 1 May 2008, the Cure posted a bulletin on their [MySpace](/source/MySpace) page saying that the thirteenth day of each month leading up to the release of the album (May, June, July and August) would see the release of a [single](/source/Single_(music)), including a [B-side](/source/A-side_and_B-side) from the album recording session that would not make the final cut.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] The four outtakes used were: "NY Trip", "All Kinds of Stuff", "Down Under" and "Without You".

The first single, "[The Only One](/source/The_Only_One_(The_Cure_song))", was released on 13 May, followed by "[Freakshow](/source/Freakshow_(The_Cure_song))" on 13 June, "[Sleep When I'm Dead](/source/Sleep_When_I'm_Dead)" on 13 July and "[The Perfect Boy](/source/The_Perfect_Boy)" on 13 August.

On 21 August the title of the album was announced online as *4.13 Dream*,[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] corrected three days later to *4:13 Dream*.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] The official track listing was first revealed on the band's official website on 15 September.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

Smith also mentioned the "dark album" companion piece, and jokingly stated that he would like to have it released by his next birthday (21 April 2009).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

On 11 October, the Cure performed *4:13 Dream* in its entirety at a free performance in the [Piazza San Giovanni](/source/Archbasilica_of_St._John_Lateran) in [Rome](/source/Rome) that was recorded for the [MTV Live](/source/MTV_Live_(TV_series)) concert series. The album's release date was delayed yet again, and was ultimately released on 27 October.

## Release

On 1 May 2008, the Cure posted a bulletin on their [MySpace](/source/MySpace) page in which they confirmed that the album would be released on 13 September.[16]

On 16 July, Robert Smith announced that the album's release date would be pushed back to 13 October,[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] and in September's place, an [EP](/source/Extended_play) was released, entitled *[Hypnagogic States](/source/Hypnagogic_States)*, containing [remixes](/source/Remix) of the four singles from *4:13 Dream*.

*4:13 Dream* was released on 28 October 2008.[17] It debuted at No. 16 on the [*Billboard* 200](/source/Billboard_200), selling about 24,000 copies in its first week of release.[18]

### Critical reception

Professional ratings Aggregate scores Source Rating AnyDecentMusic? 6.8/10[19] Metacritic 69/100[20] Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [21] The A.V. Club B[22] The Guardian [24] NME 8/10[25] Pitchfork 6.7/10[26] PopMatters 4/10[23] Q [27] Rolling Stone [28] Spin [29] The Times [30]

*4:13 Dream* earned a score of 69 out of 100 on [Metacritic](/source/Metacritic), based on "generally favourable reviews".[20] *[NME](/source/NME)* – which editor Mark Beaumont had just announced they will award the band 'godlike genius' title – praised it as a quintessential Cure record,[25] Other journalists criticised the album's [production](/source/Record_producer)[31][32] and its overly comfortable[26] and lightweight[21] songwriting.

*[Evening Standard](/source/Evening_Standard)* gave the album an 8.0 score and stated: "This is a big guitar record: the six-string blizzard of It’s Over and the wah-wah squalls of Switch are particularly notable."[33]

Barry Walters of *[Spin](/source/Spin_(magazine))* praised the album declaring it the "densest and most detailed effort ever. At times, it sounds as though a dozen or more simultaneous guitars are tangling with Smith’s iconic teased-hair tendrils, each one snarling and strumming and buzzing away at him as equally psychedelic vocal effects twist his familiar squeal into uncommon swirls." Walters added, "*4:13 Dream* is the rare Cure effort that takes a middle path neither dominated by dirges nor flooded in syrup," and said "no single cut announces itself as a Cure classic." but found "Underneath the Stars" as a highlight, comparing it to *[Disintegration](/source/Disintegration_(The_Cure_album))*. He felt the album was an improvement from the "overly heavy, underachieving [self-titled](/source/The_Cure_(The_Cure_album)) punt," and concluded "Smith finally rewards long-time fans with a proper Cure album."[33]

"*4:13 Dream* is one of the best Cure albums in years..." declared *[Classic Rock](/source/Classic_Rock_(magazine))*. "What's really impressive about The Cure in 2008 is how alive they sound. *4:13* is a schizophrenic beast, unconcerned with current trends or former glories, and hellbent on making mischief of expectations."[34] Sean O'Neal of *The A.V Club* noted "while it's too familiar to be revelatory, it's invigorating all the same." and noted the funk sound brought by guitarist [Porl Thompson](/source/Pearl_Thompson), saying, "Smith sounds like he's clawing his way out of a self-pitying funk" and "it's good to know he still has some fight left."[35]

## Post release

In April 2014, Robert Smith announced that the band would release an album called *4:14 Scream* later that year, which would contain 14 of the outtakes from the 2007 recording sessions. Additionally, a limited-edition double album titled *4:26 Dream* was also mooted, which would contain 26 non-album songs and/or remixes.[36][37] To date, these albums of outtakes remain unreleased.

An official remix of "It's Over" by Smith, the "Whisper Mix", appears on the 2018 release of *[Torn Down](/source/Torn_Down)*.

In a 2024 interview on the [BBC](/source/BBC) podcast *Sidetracked with Annie and Nick*, Smith has since shown regret and distaste towards the form in which the album was released saying, “It was nowhere near what I wanted it to be”. His plans of making it an "expansive" double album, which would've featured instrumental tracks, were disrupted by the record company insisting it should be condensed into a single album release. He described the original idea for the album as “like a [fever dream](/source/Fever_dream)" He feels as a single album its running time was too long and the compromises made to the album caused his perception of the music industry to become more negative, which he claims made him more reluctant to release new material.[38]
