Great songs 
2008-06-10
The Cure are a unique band with some very memorable songs. This is interesting because Robert Smith chose the tracks himself, and artists are often the biggest critics of their own work. He has chosen well and if you're a Cure fan, it's a very nostalgic listen. It just goes to show what great songwriters they are.
The Cure's Greatest hits 2007-12-18
Unlike some greatest hits album, this is a certifiable jewel. The classics keep coming at the listener from #1 until the end of the record. I'd rate this a 9/10 and have since purchased a second copy for my girl friend's car as well. I enjoyed this music the greatest when sipping on wine with the lights low and candles lit. A must buy for any Cure fan!
Love it.

I only bought this Cd because I wanted Boys Don't Cry, Friday I'm in LoveMint Car, Lovesong, and The Lovecats, I never really listened to the other songs before, expect for some that are on the Boys Don't Cry album and their Disintegration album. But I started listening to the entire CD, and now I love it! All the songs are amazing!
The real reason to get this CD is... 2007-09-24
...the fact all of the songs on this particular greatest hits album are remastered. Yes there have been several greatest hits albums before, but none sound like this. I have compared the CDs I have back to back with this one and as good as the originals (and other hit compilations) sound there is night and day difference. Even the album Galore is not as clean and crisp as this one, albeit just a small difference between the two. I know it sucks for those of you who already have the songs, but then again if you want the best of the best mastering you have to buy this CD.
For those of you who do not have a lot of Cure music this is the CD to get. You get (of course) all of the hits in what's currently the best reproduction possible. If you're a diehard fan and want some of those classics to stand out on your stereo you might want to go ahead and swallow that pride and get the CD. It's worth checking out.
Classic Songs from a classic band 2007-09-06
Clasic songs of The Cure. If you are not a big fan of The Cure (if you're a fan, you probably have the original albums)or if you don't know this band, buy this CD.
Boys (and Girls) Don't Cry - All The Best of Cure in a Single CD 2007-08-06
As
Greatest Hits--and particularly the busking pavement jazz of "Lovecats"--reminds us, the best Cure singles were very often tangential exercises; they offered a goth-free playtime divergence from some of the weightier studiousness of those early albums. Or, as smudged frontman Robert Smith says of this 18-track collection, "Songs that are sung with a smile." This wasn't always true--witness the refrigerated fogginess of the classic "A Forest," the
Blair Witch Project of its day. What this compilation does is focus attention on the Cure's perennial unpredictability--the breathless claustrophobia of "Close to Me," the New Order-lite of "The Walk," the brass- section embellished thrust of "Why Can't I Be You." Oddly, chart-wise, the Cure's lost weekend began immediately after "Friday I'm in Love," their most ebullient melodic moment and the ultimate "clocking-off to kick those heels" anthem. But at least the inclusion of two new songs, "Cut Here" and "Just Say Yes" (with Saffron from Republica), indicate that the Cure remain a healthy, ongoing concern.

Attention Guitarists 2007-07-14
For you guitarists out there, there is a companion tab book to this CD. So if your Cure collection is not 100% complete, you can buy this CD and have all the songs in the books. Very helpful!
The cure I remember... 2007-03-27
This is a great cd, that offers some "old" stuff and some "new" stuff all in 1 cd. After the 80's tapes that have long been "borrowed" and all the songs I wanted to hear again, they are here on this cd. Only a couple missing, which would have made this cd the "motts", but I guess that's why it's not called the all time greatest hits. Not a bad cd at all, worth the bucks.
The Cure has some really great hits 2007-03-23
I bought this cd only for about 3 songs but after listening to the cd I found that I liked every song on the cd. My friends and I love to listen to it in the car. Its such a great cd, and you totally get your moneys worth.
One way or the other, get the song "Cut Here" 
2007-03-18
For a greatest hits collection, you are much better off getting "Staring at the Sea" and/or "Galore", depending on whether you like early Cure, later Cure or both. But the one thing you should not miss from this latest greatest hits package is the song "Cut Here". It is one of the most lovely songs the Cure has done in a long while, including some of Robert Smith's most personal and heartfelt lyrics. (It is about Billy MacKenzie; check wikipedia for more info.) Musically, the 6-string bass evokes the heyday of both the Cure and New Order. Don't miss out on this gem. Download that track or find a copy of the import cd single or get a used copy of "Greatest Hits" just for this song. You'll be glad you did.
