Yes, this is probably the worst way to ease yourself into the band and picking which album would be the best starting point. Yes, these stretch of songs are very unrepresentative of the band's catalogue holistically. But what this compilation proves is how underrated The Cure is considered as a singles band. Robert Smith could write a damn good pop song whenever he felt like it, in fact the only flaw here is that this should have been expanded to two discs because there's that much more upbeat singles by the band that are high in quality. Even then, with any complaints about the tracklisting in mind, you have to remember that Robert Smith hand picked the songs to be included on this greatest hits package and he did a damn good job at it anyway.

It's a nice collection of songs if you want to listen to a mix of songs stretching the bands most prominent time in the music world. Despite having a few rarities tossed in there's some glaring omissions, so while it's a nice point to get a sense of the cures sound its not the best way to see them play to their strengths like you would hear on their full albums.

I give this a low rating only because I'll never listen to this. Their albums need to be experienced completely. These songs rule, don't get me wrong. There's just no flow and songs like Fascination Street are much weaker than on studio albums. Also, there's no song from Pornography. boo

The Cure is one of my favorite bands (The Curioso Festivle was beyond amazing, espcially w/ the likes of Interpol and Muse opening). I don't think there will ever be an album that can possibly hold all of The Cure's Greatest Hits, but this comes pretty damn close. It's impossible to skip a single song. Well written review too!!

Grew up hearing CURE songs never hearing the full albums but this album or I shouldn't consider it an album is excellent.
