Product description The Cure ~ Staring At The Sea: The Singles .com Big and moody, Staring at the Sea compiles some hits and near misses of these excavators of the dark soul. Beginning with their earliest hits--the sparse "Killing an Arab," the aptly tedious "10:15 Saturday Night," and the charming "Boys Don't Cry"--this collection stops before the comparative giddiness of Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. Musicians first, brooding art types second, The Cure's unique instrumentation doesn't get the credit it rightfully deserves. The thrashy, trash-can break in "Jumping Someone Else's Train," the sprightly synthesized recorder of "Close to Me," and the techno-pop disco lines in "Let's Go to Bed" and "The Walk" are downright brilliant in their effectiveness and simplicity. A string of money shots if ever there was one. --Steve Gdula

Love this album!
I had this album as a teenager in the early 80s, on vinyl (Standing on a beach), and it still sounds fantastic. Also bought The Greatest Hits on iTunes a few years ago but because of the limit on how many times you can put the songs on separate hard drives, I had to decide whether to buy that again or get this one. The Greatest Hits also has many of the songs on this one but doesn't have the sublime 10.15 Saturday Night, nor The Caterpillar, nor Jumping Someone Else's Train. So that I wouldn't double up, I bought Staring at the Sea on CD from Amazon, then downloaded my favorite songs from iTunes that were released after Standing on a beach. I recommend this album for earlier fans (as opposed to those who got into The Cure later who might prefer The Greatest Hits) who might have already bought all The Cure albums on vinyl in another lifetime, and just want the the best songs from their collection.

~ THE CURE'S EARLY HITS BEFORE 1986...~
An excellent compilation from The Cure. I had the tape of the exact CD back in 1986 and it was one of my first "best of" or "compilation" of a band. There is just something about The Cure. They have a good sound and some really good songs. This CD sounds good, although it probably could use a good remaster. When CDs first came on the scene in 1985, yep, many bands' albums were just put on them. No remastering and volume control was low. Plus, you could still hear that hiss on some that was infamous with cassette tapes before the CD. Although, this CD sounds good and has many of their early hits to the year 1985. If you want to hear what The Cure sounded like before the 1986 KISS ME, KISS ME, KISS ME album came out, get this. It really has some good tunes on it!KILLING AN ARAB10:15 SATURDAY NIGHTBOY'S DON'T CRYJUMPING SOMEONE ELSE'S TRAINA FORESTPLAY FOR TODAYPRIMARYOTHER VOICESCHARLOTTE SOMETIMESTHE HANGING GARDENLET'S GO TO BEDTHE WALKTHE LOVE CATSTHE CATERPILLARIN BETWEEN DAYSCLOSE TO MEA NIGHT LIKE THIS17 tracks in all...
