Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me draws together the many phases of the Cure's often-schizophrenic career. There have been many Cure's, following a zigzag path between pop and avant-garde, stretching the limits of each and pausing between to combine extremes in unusual ways. This double LP surveys edgy pop, dance rhythms, harsh Pornography-style guitar rock, slick commercial pop and lots more, merging in an exciting blend of styles. It's the Cure's masterwork, both an acknowledgement of their emerging commercial acceptance (Staring At The Sea went gold) and an affirmation of the artistry, personal vision and uncompromising quality that's brought them this far. Top cuts: "Just Like Heaven," "Why Can't I Be You?," "All I Want," "The Kiss," "One More Time," "Shiver And Shake."
