THE
CURE
-
Greatest
Hits
With
eccentric
frontman
Robert
Smith
leading
the
way,
these
Alternative
stalwarts
have
recorded
some
truly
amazing
songs
and
found
an
audience
amoung
Indie
as
well
as
Goth
fans
since
1979(!).
Their
strange
melange
of
dementia,
beauty
and
tackiness
amid
an
alternative
rock
core
is
further
expanded
by
their
unique
character,
the
videos
accompanying
the
songs
also
reflecting
a
distinct
quality
true
to
them.
This
is
mainly
due
to
the
fact
that
Tim
Pope
directed
most
of
them.
The
predominantly
distinct
low
budget
looks
glazing
all
the
videos
is
enhanced
by
the
bleak
look
and
harsh,
flat
lighting
with
a
spaced
out
angst
inherent
in
the
themes,
even
in
their
lighter,
more
up
beat
numbers.
Whether
it's
songs
from
their
fresh
faced
youth
to
their
current
puffy
state,
the
videos
include
a
bunch
of
unforgettables
like
the
classic
Boys
Don't
Cry,
the
classic
Alternative
sound
of
A
Forest,
the
cheezy
Let's
Go
To
Bed,
silly
Love
Cats,
the
creepy
Lullaby,
the
theatric
Friday
I'm
In
Love,
the
moving
Close
To
You
or
the
loony
costumed
Why
Can't
I
Be
You?
Songs
like
The
Walk,
Lovesong,
Never
Enough,
Inbetween
Days,
Wrong
Number
and
Cut
Here
add
up
to
the
18
videos
on
this
DVD.
Bonus
features
include
weblinks
with
hidden
songs
and
an
unplugged
session
of
6
tunes
incl.
versions
of
A
Forest,
Lullaby
&
Just
Say
Yes,
also
serving
as
a
timeline
to
see
how
Smith
has
aged
-
his
voice
and
their
abilities
on
the
other
hand
still
firmly
in
tact.
Still
relevant
living
legends,
The
Cure
continue
to
play
live
(mid-2002)
and
don't
be
surprised
if
they
still
release
many
more
albums
in
the
future.
This
previously
released
video
collection
is
now
jacked
up
with
a
double
CD
added!
