Good songs, bad flowApr 25, 2008 I love the Cure. The things this music does to me... well, you just have no idea. And this album is no different, the music shines. Even if there are some tracks that don't feel fully realized.
It is a very eclectic mix, I'll admit. And that is my one major complaint with this album. It just kinda goes all over the place with no real flow from one song to the next.
Albums like "Disintegration" and 'Wish", for example have an excellent flow. With every song leading into the next beautifully. These albums are so easy to turn on and just get lost in them.
"Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me" feels more like it was thrown together, with no particular song order in mind. And while I like all the songs, the structure of the album makes it hard to get lost in the music.
It pains me to give the Cure less than five stars, but this album just isn't perfect. Really good, but not perfect.

Bloody brilliantNov 28, 2006 This is an absolutely amazing album
When I bought it, I had no idea that 'Hey You!' had not been on the original album
I'm certainly glad it is on this version, however
It's a great song, quite poppy, and is arranged more simply, like earlier Cure, but has great horn parts over its basis
The Snakepit, while a bit slow and perhaps unnecessary, is certainly one of my favorite track of the album
Mostly in how it doesn't fit with itself, and yet it manages not to collapse at any point
Sure, it goes nowhere at all, it just lumbers along, but it works
It's done well as what it is, and nothing else
Songs like 'Why Can't I Be You?', 'Hot Hot Hot!!!', 'The Perfect Girl', and 'Just Like Heaven' are obvious pop concoctions, and every one of them is great for listening anytime
The style of music on here is quite varied, unlike something like Disintegration which stays in the same style all the time
Anyone who likes The Cure must have this album, whether in this version, its original Hey You!-less version, or its two-disc release
