 | | Even in their most extreme moods, 'A Night Like This', and 'Lullaby' (unthinkable today without its accompanying video), The Cure capture a moment which is too fleeting to feel: unspeakable joy, unimaginable terror, a talent not so much for stating the obvious as being aware that it's obvious to begin with. |
 | | There are other moods to The Cure, of course, which are not repeated here, the grinning inanity of the 'Wish' album for example; the cathedral gloom of 'Faith': they perhaps await another compilation. |
 | | Too often bands contribute simply because they've nothing better to do; other times they are, to co-opt one of The Cure's own castigations, merely jumping someone else's train, because their own is on the fast track to nowhere. |
