About this deal

In 1986, the singles' lead tracks were included on the Standing on a Beach compilation album, while all of the B-sides were included on the 2004 B-sides and rarities box set Join the Dots. Vote up content that is on-topic, within the rules/guidelines, and will likely stay relevant long-term. But those Walk songs sound awful, which is disappointing, especially since for me, The Walk EP is probably my very favorite Cure release, and I kind of wanted to have those songs on CD. It’s because of this inconsistency that the album can’t really be considered all that great, from a hard-nosed, critical standpoint. By ticking the SMS opt in box and submitting this form, I agree to receive text messages from and about The Cure (including prerecorded and/or by autodialer).

The Cure | Japanese Whispers

Which of the various Japanese Whispers cds is considered to be the definitive one, or at least the preferred one? In a manner of speaking, they were transforming as a band: the drummer started playing keys, the bassist left and came back, and Robert Smith extensively collaborated with Siouxsie and the Banshees.Japanese Whispers is a much more pop-friendly version of The Cure, shifting away from the post-punk of their debut and the gothic stylings of their last three records into being pretty much a new wave band. From Love Cats: we slip through the streets while everyone sleeps getting figure and stick and why don't bright you. The band were obviously in a fragile state of mind when recording, as the eight tracks making up this odd compilation of non-album singles sound immediately less concerned than the gothic grandeur of The Cure’s last few albums, opting for quirky synths and silly pop lyrics over slow-building, atmospheric substance of yesteryear.
