When I was in high school the cure was loved by all the goths. To me now its just sweet melodic music. I love the great collection of songs. I think this album pretty much has all there best.

this is truly a fine cd to own! it was actually the first cure cd i ever bought,and after listening to it i became a massive fan,and plan on getting every single cd they ever put out. the coolest song has to be wrong number! (i love that one),also the radio-friendly songs-lovesong-just like heaven-friday im in love!. i also am obscessed with catch,and pictures of you! so whatever the case if you only decide to get one cure cd,get this first it's a great pile of songs!
Practically Perfect in Every Way! April 13, 2001

Let's start with the fact that with well over an hour of excellent music - 18 trax - this cd is a great value. This is a collection of some of the Cure's greatest songs - although their early stuff is obviously not included, this later music is richer, and has more complex arrangements that show off the poetic lyrics and Robert's sweet & crazy voice. If you only know their radio hits (Just Like Heaven, Friday I'm in Love, etc), then this cd will pull you deeper into the strange and beautiful world of the Cure. If you like the song Crash by Dave Matthews Band, then the sex-drenched lyrics of Mint Car are sure to please. The love songs are perfect - passionate but not too sweet, full of poetry & unexpected turns of phrase. Of course the famous gloom is also represented - Lullaby gives me the shivers every time I hear it. The music in general is deeply layered & psychedelic, lending itself to intense headphone listening. I also like to play this real loud & dance around the house with my husband and my cats. The only thing missing, which would have made this cd absolutely perfect, is Halo (the song we played at my wedding) which can be found on the b-side of the cd single Friday I'm in Love. To sum it up, this is a collection of well-crafted pop songs for the romantic, intelligent, deep thinker; especially good for someone just getting into the Cure.

Many of us are only familiar with the Cure from the radio singles. Others are die-hard fans. Both groups will like Galore. On this disc are all the singles you're likely to hear on the radio, along with many more, spanning a ten-year period. If you're new to the Cure, this is an appropriate first album: it spans the dreamy and the dark in the Cure.
 Simple rundown October 15, 2003

This is a simple breakdown of the cure's greatest/most popular songs. Period. I would reccommend it for people who are interested/enjoy the Cure but dont feel the need to listen to all the "other" songs on their albums. Plain and simple, but this CD, listen to it in the car, and smile at where you were when you first heard these excellent and well-written tunes.
