History

Bloodflowers is considered by many Cure fans to be a return to the band's roots, after the stylistic departure of Wild Mood Swings. It is the third and final album in Robert Smith's "trilogy", of the three albums he feels most express The Cure. In 2002, the band performed Pornography, Disintegration, and Bloodflowers in their entirety to a Berlin audience, and released the recording on DVD in 2003, titled The Cure: Trilogy. Wild Mood Swings is the tenth studio album by British alternative rock band The Cure, released in 1996 (see 1996 in music). ... Pornography is the fourth studio album by British alternative rock band The Cure, originally released in 1982 and re-mastered and re-released in 2005. ... Disintegration is the eighth studio album by rock band The Cure, released in 1989. ... This article is about the capital of Germany. ...

It was meant to be the band's final album, with Trilogy being the end. However, that turned out not to be the case.[1]

Bloodflowers was a moderate success, debuting at #16 on the US Billboard Album Chart, eventually selling 300,000 copies in America. In early 2001 it was nominated for the Grammy Award of Best Alternative Music Album.
