It was the first to disappoint me. The first I didn't like in its entirety. It's very inconsistent in terms of level of quality. There are a couple of great songs (Want, It Used To Be Me, unfortunately only as b-side), some very good songs (Bare, Treasure, Jupiter's Crash), but also quite a few which I think could have only been b-side in previous albums, in particular: Round & Round & Round, Return, Strange Attraction, The 13th.
Mint Car is a lesser attempt to do something along the lines of Friday I'm In Love. I don't dislike it now, but it took me time and effort to come to appreciate it. And it's still a lesser version of FIIL.
I kinda like Gone! now, but again it took me time to 'get there'.
Nonetheless, I think WMS is far superior to the last 2 (self titled and 4:13 Dream).

i quite like 'want',the rest of the album i find dull,uninspiring,uninteresting,in fact a lot of it is just plain awful. i don't even care for the b sides a lot of people seem to rate...the whole thing is just not for me. this album,along with 4:13(equally as bad to me) are both way,way out ahead as the worst cure records.

all just opinions though innit
I would add The Cure album to that worst list as well.
I take it most dislike The 13th? Not a smart idea for a first single but wacky and different enough from everything else that I can't help liking it myself these days.
