    Pros: Catchy lyrics and beats

    Cons: some of the vocal content somewhat unacceptable

    Another classic that drew me in to alternative music scene. I still enjoy every song on this album expecially on a long commute to work.

    Staring at the Sea: The Singles collects all of the Cure's biggest UK hits and bestknown songs from the late '70s and early '80s. Spanning from "Killing an Arab" and "Boys Don't Cry," to "The Lovecats," "InBetween Days," and "Close to Me," Staring at the Sea captures some of the finest and most influential postpunk music. At their best, the Cure were nervy, intellectual, catchy, and foreboding, all at once. No matter how carefully crafted the Cure's individual albums were, their finest moments occurred on singles like these, when they distilled their essence into surprisingly catchy, but decidedly leftofcenter, pop singles. Staring at the Sea not only selects highlights from their uneven early albums, it collects many of the group's terrific nonLP singles. It's a definitive retrospective of the Cure, and is one of the finest albums of the '80s.

Biography

The Cure

Out of all the bands that emerged in the immediate aftermath of punk rock in the late '70s, the Cure was one of the most enduring and popular. Led through numerous incarnations by guitarist/vocalist Robert Smith (b. April 21, 1959), the band became notorious for their slow, gloomy dirges and Smith's ghoulish appearance. But the public image often hid the diversity of th... Read more
