This is definitely my biggest CD 80. As is known, one of the largest and most famous Cure bands in history with more than 15 studio albums, live albums and B-sides compilations, anyway: There are people who love them and those who hate them. At the time, as they have released this CD, they were so slow at the end of your Tennie Idol Time: Robert Smith went to the 30, was no longer so often in "Bravo", for his strange outfit now everyone knew. Cure were so slow an "adult" - band. However, this did not detract from his innovations. Robert had written so many songs that they fit only on a double LP. The CD therefore has a track less than the LP. (It lacks the song "Hey You" is also available as the CD - was single, also a pop -. Pearl I think that today too bad) This CD is Cure's "White Album", at that time were "The Cure" at the peak of her career. The normally depressive mood of Cure - Songs on this CD was undreamed of Pop - broken beads. "Just Like Heaven" is and will remain one of the most beautiful songs of all time. No CD I know united so many styles and moods: The Cure experimenting here with a variety of instruments such as violin and trumpet, although they sound like a real guitar band. The 4 outcoupled Singles (Why can not I be you, Catch, Just Like Heaven, Hot Hot Hot) exude a sense of lightness and show Robert Smith qualities as a pop songwriter. But the highlights were, other: The opener "The Kiss" degenerates over 6 minutes in length for Hard Rock Song, "Torture" is the Depro Goth song par excellence, "Shiver & Shake" is an extremely fast punk song. But above all hovers Robert Smith 'whiny voice and the perfect bass / drum mix by Simon Gallup and Boris Williams. A special song on the CD is probably "Fight", the first song of Cure, which sounds like a sort of anthem and people to call for anything. And "How beautiful you are", the text tells a really strange story. Robert processed in this CD probably all his feelings. Anyone who has listened into the CD, noted that it is a masterpiece. You will never get bored and those CD that I have most heard. A nice touch is at Cure Anyway, that on the B-sides of the singles contain songs that are not on the CD. Thus, on the B-side of the single "Why can not I be you" the song "A Japanese Dream," a typical, fast depressive song Cure also play live very often. Interassant: On the maxi - single of "Why cant't i be you" is also a Maxi - Version of "A Japanese Dream".
