without knowing much about the cure, i would say that this cd alone is enough to make me a real fan. having heard their "greatest hits" album, i would say that with the exception of "just like heaven", the real electrifying experience comes from hearing them live. "lullaby" was done absolutely perfectly--you can literally feel the song, its macabre rhythms, robert smith's genuinely eerie vocals, the sound effects of the "spiderman"...the concert was simply great art. the darkness of their music is chiefly what appeals to me, but the musicianship is so flawlessly done that even a naive listener like myself is amazed. buy this show.Free Music Review: Buy It Now!!!

Hit: 5 Stars
I picked up this CD way back in the summer of '98 when I was 14 at my local Wal-Mart, not knowing a single song off of it. When I put it on, I was completely blown away. The album opens with an amazing redition of "Open" with soaring, dreamy guitars and pulsing drums as well as awesome lyrics. It then goes into other awesome hits such as the romantic "Pictures of You" the tragic beauty of "Trust" and the uplifting, joyous romps "Just Like Heaven" and "Doing the Unstuck". This album is good all the way through and there is absolutely no need to use the "skip" button on your CD player. The artwork in the booklet is very well done too, its very creative and artsy and has great photos of all the 5 members of the band (Rob Smith, Porl Thompson, Perry Bamonte, Simon Gallup and Boris Williams) as well as a sweeet fold-out poster of the whole band performing live on the stage. Last night I was listening to this CD on my bed and looking through the booklet and it was a great experience. Listening to the songs (which sound WAY better than the CD versions) and hearing the crowd cheer give you the feeling of actually being there for the concert. This CD is way better than other historic live albums such as the "Wishkah" one from Nirvana and the recent Skinny Puppy one recorden in Germany. After 4 long years this album has been with me through good times and bad and will continue to be one of my favourites; it'll probably be pretty much the same for you.Free Music Review: Another Greatest Hits Deal
Hit: 4 Stars
I just got into the Cure. ABout 5 months now. My friend got me into it. And I like them. I've always like Boys Don't Cry, but what drew me in was In Between Days, Play For Today and Just Like Heaven. Then I explored more Cure, but I didn't go out and buy Kiss Me (3x) or Head on The Door. If you're just getting into the Cure, like I am, buy this CD. It has great songs. Also, you'll wanna check out Staring At The Sea. Both are greatest Hits but you'll slowly be pulled into their other albums. If you're a long time Cure lover... then you'll wanna pick out this CD because it's recorded live and the songs are pretty tight. The sound is great and there are variants to all the songs. GREAT CD!!!
Free Music Review: mostly uninspired, but worth getting
Hit: 3 Stars
The Cure has a reputation for being one of the best live bands ever; although a CD of a live show (or, in this case, 2 shows edited together) can never substitute for the real thing, the intensity of their live performance usually shines through. Not so in this case; it's an unfortunate compilation of mostly-uninspired performances of their singles. It would be a 2-star rating if not for the incredible performance of From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea, which makes this CD worth owning for any Wish-era fan. If you want the singles, buy the studio-recorded compilations (Staring at the Sea and Galore).
