Product Description

From Amazon.com

As Greatest Hits--and particularly the busking pavement jazz of "Lovecats"--reminds us, the best Cure singles were very often tangential exercises; they offered a goth-free playtime divergence from some of the weightier studiousness of those early albums. Or, as smudged frontman Robert Smith says of this 18-track collection, "Songs that are sung with a smile." This wasn't always true--witness the refrigerated fogginess of the classic "A Forest," the Blair Witch Project of its day. What this compilation does is focus attention on the Cure's perennial unpredictability--the breathless claustrophobia of "Close to Me," the New Order-lite of "The Walk," the brass- section embellished thrust of "Why Can't I Be You." Oddly, chart-wise, the Cure's lost weekend began immediately after "Friday I'm in Love," their most ebullient melodic moment and the ultimate "clocking-off to kick those heels" anthem. But at least the inclusion of two new songs, "Cut Here" and "Just Say Yes" (with Saffron from Republica), indicate that the Cure remain a healthy, ongoing concern. --Kevin Maidment

5.0 out of 5 stars 気分にあわせて使い分け, 2003/6/30
By oceanone (大阪府) - See all my reviews
高校生のとき(1988ごろ)よくきいていたんですが、2000年、出張先で
Inbetween Daysのアコースティックバージョンが偶然かかっているのを
きいて、とても懐かしくなりました。

購入したのは、しばらくあとですが、通常のベストアルバムであるDisc1
と、全く同じ曲順で全曲アコースティック(アンプラグド)バージョンの

Disc2があり、その日の気分で聞き分けています。
暗い気分のとき、自分のその暗い気持ちをよく代弁してくれるような気が
して、聞くとなんとなくすっきりします。
