Though its certainly not the bands first stab at a greatest hits record (Galore, Mixed Up, Show, and Standing On A Beach
have all been previous attempts), Greatest Hits wastes no time in cycling through the Cures undeniable singles. A special second disc offers new acoustic recordings of each track, offering a sense of cohesiveness to a long and epic career.
Opening with the timeless yet simple Boys Dont Cry, the collection features the carefree and uplifting Just Like Heaven, the desperate and poignant Love Song, and the brilliantly classic Friday Im In Love. And throughout the twenty-one year range of the included recordings, the music remains uniformly strong in each step of its evolution, the mark of truly talented artists. On the two new tracks, Cut Here and Just Say Yes, lead singer Robert Smith proves hes still got it, and listeners are left thinking -- if not actually believing -- that its the eighties again.
(Included tracks: Boys Don't Cry, A Forest, Let's Go To Bed, The Walk, The Lovecats, Inbetween Days, Close To Me, Why Can't I Be You?, Just Like Heaven, Lullaby, Lovesong, Never Enough, High, Friday I'm In Love, Mint Car, Wrong Number, Cut Here, Just Say Yes) |
