I'm disappointed to say that this album is awful. I love the Cure, and it's totally sad to see the beautiful masterpiece original songs screwed up and "modernized" by today's industrial/goth bands. Plus, the Cure's songs are way awesome in the first place not only because the amazing poetic lyrics, but also due to Robert Smith's unique and groovy voice which further defines the moods of the songs and words. Without his voice the songs seem to be missing their souls. As a Cure fan, I bought this album just to have all the Cure's CDs, but I advise everyone not to waste their money on this and get Standing on a Beach- the Singles, or The Cure's: Galore (both are Cure cd's that anyone will love).
