By way of distinguishing Greatest Hits from the other Cure collections on the market, please note that most of the doom and gloom is largely absent here, due to the exclusion of most of their early material. The bulk of this disc is devoted to mid-period Cure classics such as the simultaneously innocent and randy "Let's Go to Bed," the breathless, horn-driven "Close to Me," and the bouncy, jazz-tinged "The Lovecats." And to prove that the Cure didn't peter out after the Reagan era, Greatest Hits reminds listeners that the transcendently effervescent pop gem "Friday I'm in Love" and the hard-driving rocker "Never Enough" stand as tall as the group's earlier efforts. A couple of attractive new tunes are tacked on for the benefit of those who already have everything else here.|
