Biography

Biography by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Out of all the bands that emerged in the immediate aftermath of punk rock in the late '70s, few were as enduring and popular as the Cure. Led through numerous incarnations by guitarist/vocalist Robert Smith (born April 21, 1959), the band became notorious for its slow, gloomy dirges and Smith's ghoulish appearance, a public image that often ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Cure. 31 Mar 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
It really is an essential album for anyone thinking of listening to The Cure. The start of their peak recording material over the following 6 or 7 years. A brilliant, vibrant piece well though of by Smith and co. Love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars My only cure 16 Nov 2006
Format:Audio CD
This was my first purchase of the cure in the mid 80's and this album was responsible for myself getting into the cure, a wonderful album which blew me away when i heard it.

Will always have a special place for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfectly weighted eighties album. 20 April 2012
By OsianL
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Every song in this album is distinct and creative. Often with eighties albums the production techniques and old synths date quickly, but I think this album still stands up 27 years later. The album is short but I think there's a good balance between their more quirky upbeat songs like Close to me and In between Days and their more dark tortured songs like A Night Like This and Sinking.

3.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Cure albums, but that's faint praise
I don't think The Cure made good albums. They just sound too samey and are boring to listen to. I can hear merit in some of the albums, and I don't think they're technically bad,... Read more

This has to be the greatest album I have ever bought, can't fault it at all. Possibly the best cure album ever made.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best Cure album by a mile
Catchy and cheerful are not 2 words you would usually associate with the Cure, but this album gives them in spades.

Wonderful tunes, that put them right up there with the Smiths. Read more
