Frothy energy and clarity
It's hard to listen to these tracks without driving a bit faster, swaying in your office chair, or surreptitiously playing front man to a phantom band. I just listened to "Mixed Up" by the Cure again, and I was reminded of why I keep coming back to this amalgam of early Cure songs: it's the frothy energy and clarity that permeates these remixed, stretched, and revised tracks. .


Here it is... the BEST Cure album.
I own seven or eight Cure albums but this is the only one I find myself constantly listening to. ^This^ coming from a person who's enjoyed Bloodflowers, Wish and Disintergration. This might sound blasphemous to dedicated Cure fans but I find Robert Smith's voice intolerable at times; but on this entire album he and the entire band sound their absolute best. In my opinion the majority of their best songs, up until this was recorded, are found here. Let me emphasize though that this is not your average Cure album, it extends most of the songs moreso than remixing them and it focuses more on the instrumentals than the vocals. -Hence my personal reason for liking this Cure album more than any other. This cd, dare I say, would probably be in my top 10 or 15 favorite albums -between clashing genres in albums such as Static X's Wisconsin Death Trip and Radiohead's OK Computer or Korn's Follow the Leader and The Smashing Pumpkin's Siamese Dream, Deftones' Around the Fur and Marilyn Manson's Holywood. . . Crazy right -coming from a person who would consider all those other cd's for top spots in his top 10 or 15 favorite albums? . . . No not really, not after you've listened to this. .


Awesome of course! Best Band!
This is a remix of some of the their good songs. The Cure is a great a great band. .


A classic by The Cure
I am a big fan of the cure, and this album is pretty much a 'best of' album, but remixed. I love this album. I really like the version of 'caterpillar' and 'hot hot hot'.
