    Simultaneously more accessible and ambitious than any of the Cure's previous albums, the double album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me finds Robert Smith expanding his pop vocabulary by tentatively adding bigger guitars, the occasional horn section, lite-funk rhythms, and string sections. It's eclectic, to be sure, but it's also a mess, bouncing from idea to idea and refusing to develop some of the most intriguing detours. Even if Kiss Me doesn't quite gel, its best moments -- including the deceptively bouncy "Why Can't I Be You?" and the stately "Just Like Heaven" -- are remarkable and help make the album one of the group's very best.

Emo All Stars Remix the Cure on Charity EP
about 1 year ago

--- - |- Beyond The Nightmare Before Christmas (and bad memories of seventh grade, I suppose), there's simply no greater influence on modern arena-emo than the Cure. As a way of saying "thnks fr th mmrs" to the OGs of tuneful teardrops, some of the genre's biggest names have offered up remixes of Cure tunes for an EP titled Hypnagogic States. But they won't be taking on the classics. Nope, all...
