The Cure – Greatest Hits (sealed 2LP)

R600,00

The Cure were never afraid of artistically defining themselves. They had their own sound, an eerie glamour surrounding a dark whimsicality, yet fans flocked to them throughout the ’80s and ’90s. Commercial or cult favorites, they’re impressive as being one of the ’80s’ seminal bands who culled more than 30 critical singles. Compilations like 1986’s Staring at the Sea: The Singles and 1997’s Galore showcased the Cure‘s accessibility; therefore, having a solid greatest-hits collection might be a bit nonessential. Then again, releasing an album like this at the tip of the new millennium calls for a celebration, and that’s what the Cure did. They collected 16 amazing cuts which spanned 23 years and recall what once was. From the saucy synth strut of “The Walk” and the cabaret stylings of “The Lovecats” to the lilting swan songs of “Lovesong” and “Just Like Heaven,” the Cure’s ever-changing moods were switched up for something desirable and blissful. They are selectively classic, leaving this package to be its own storybook of sorts. The Cure did treat the fans with two new songs: “Cut Here” rises with early sounds of Madchester, but the glitzy swirls of “Just Say Yes” mark the Cure’s return to form. Republica‘s Saffron joins Robert Smith for something campy and carefree. Greatest Hits is basically for the fans who have to have everything, but also a decent collection for those who never fully enraptured themselves with the Cure.
