Cure, The | Greatest Hits | CD 1260

In "Greatest Hits," particularly highlighted by the busking pavement jazz of "Lovecats," The Cure's finest singles often diverged from their typical Goth sound, offering playful contrasts to the weightiness of their early albums. Robert Smith describes this 18-track collection as "Songs that are sung with a smile," a sentiment evident in their eclectic range. From the icy atmosphere of "A Forest" to the whimsical charm of "The Caterpillar" and the pulsating energy of "Close to Me," The Cure's unpredictability shines through. Despite their commercial peak with "Friday I'm in Love," the band's journey continued with new tracks like "Cut Here" and "Just Say Yes," showcasing their enduring relevance and creativity.
