It offers no new insights on the bands formative years. If anything, Robert Smith comes off as a total ass talking about Lol Turhurst&#8217;s &#8220;inept&#8221; drumming and bad mouthing tracks co-written with Tolhurst. So, you all had a fight? Get over it and don&#8217;t dismiss his contribution to the band&#8217;s early days. Smith even takes a shot or two at producer Chris Parry. Grrrr. So &#8230; Go. Buy. Now. And take a trip back to the formative years of 80&#8217;s gloom and doom music (and just ignore that pesky front man&#8217;s current comments).
