Free Music Notes for Staring at the Sea: The Singles
Free Music Review: obviously a great record, and great melodies!
Hit: 5 Stars
the cure's singles and best known melodic songs burn with passion and sheer genius.
It would be hard not to lose oneself in a glowing review.... however, that said, whoever came up with the following review quote, has managed to plumb the depth of the barrel of idiocy, and lose a piece of very relevant clarity:
"But for the rest of us who actually appreciate melodies as long as they aren't too commercialized"
If anyone anywhere can ascribe any sort of rational logical meaning to this gibberish, please write to the following people:
the authors of
here, there and everywhere (mccartney, i presume)
losing my religion (stipe, buck, et al)
lovesong (mr. smith again)
crazy (gnarls barkley)
waiting on a friend (mssrs jagger and richards)
heroes (mr. bowie)
aaaaaghh!! one could go on and on and on..........
these songs, and all great songs (however bl0ody popular) were written as pieces of artistic expression. How popular they subsequently become is not germane to the truths of their existence. This time of critical meandering is a serious pain in the ****! enough! please!!
Staring at the Sea: The Singles Poster
Big and moody, Staring at the Sea compiles some hits and near misses of these excavators of the dark soul. Beginning with their earliest hits--the sparse "Killing an Arab," the aptly tedious "10:15 Saturday Night," and the charming "Boys Don't Cry"--this collection stops before the comparative giddiness of Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me.Musicians first, brooding art types second, The Cure's unique instrumentation doesn't get the credit it rightfully deserves. The thrashy, trash-can break in "Jumping Someone Else's Train," the sprightly synthesized recorder of "Close to Me," and the techno-pop disco lines in "Let's Go to Bed" and "The Walk" are downright brilliant in their effectiveness and simplicity. A string of money shots if ever there was one. --Steve Gdula
