 Know what it really is May 4, 2003

Okay, so if you approach this album as the 'contractual obligation' collection instead of G. Hits, you won't be so taken aback. As in "intro" to the cure, it contains a number of songs whose choice is slightly dubious, but it's not supposed to be the Cure's NIFTYEST Hits, just singles that have charted. Make an interesting gift, but the real gem is if you get the version with the acoustic renditions of all the songs on the album. That's why I bought it, and if you're looking for "Acoustic Cure Album, with two new songs", then this is worth purchasing. Even if "Cut Here" has The Cure sounding like a New Order cover band, hehe.
 Just my thoughts August 24, 2003

This album was my first introduction to The Cure, believe it or not. If you've never heard the band, this is a great place to start; if you have, I don't know what to tell you. I mean, just because you're reading this probably means you already listen to the band and own every song in this compilation anyway. But for me, I wouldn't be the same if it were not for songs like "Lovecats," "Just Like Heaven," and "Friday I'm In Love." They have all picked me up from the floor and made my spirits rise like no other music I've heard. That's all I can really say. I'm no authority with Robert Smith and his history, and I'm not pretending to be. I just want to say I love this album. I'll go now.
"Greatest Hits", not a "Best of". October 29, 2003

This collection is way better than 3 stars, but I understand the rating. Based on what's here, it's easily 4 star. But it gets a low rating from fans because it doesn't evenly represent the band. These are primarily the pop and happy songs here, whereas the more "goth" songs aren't to be found. Only really "A Forest" and "Lullaby" are very dark. If you really only want one disc of hits, this is it. But if you can, get the collections "Staring At The Sea" and "Galore". Those two cover things pretty well. If I had to suggest one album, it would be "Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me". It's the most diverse and lengthy.
Don't underestimate these songs January 6, 2004

Well, certainly this is not a collection of the best Cure songs, it doesn't even include the majority of my favourite songs, BUT:
1) Almost every song in this collection deserves 5 stars!
2) It surely shows the development of Smith and band during their career. I gave it four stars, because it's not what I would've chosen for a selection of Cure songs. I haven't bought the CD (I already own all the songs..), but got the DVD version instead. It contains the original CD + all tracks in acoustic versions + original video clips + some extra videos of acoustic versions.
THE POINT TO THIS GREATEST HITS ALBUM BEING RELEASED.... June 20, 2004

In August, 2004 - the Cure will be coming out with remastered versions of 'Pornography', 'Faith', 'Seventeen Seconds', & then they will possibly move on to remastering their latter albumsThis greatest hits album, is remastered - Robert Smith knew he wanted his Cure albums remastered, which is why he decided to come out with another greatest hits album to kick off the remastered versions of the Cure's albums, everything more clear now? Now if you're actually looking for a review on the album - get it, pick it up , awesome music... of course, it's from one of the greatest bands ever
