This release, "Staring AtThe Sea," is not available on streaming platforms, because of the first track, but it is also The Cure's BEST offering of their hits.

I order this CD out of curiosity ... I am sure the group has followers but is not my kind of music .... they are talented, but not my kind of talent. I have been purchasing CDs just to see if I find some hidden gem, this one is not for me.

Like any group, The Cure has gone through distinct stages in their development. Staring At The Sea spotlights their best stage. From the eerie, and prophetic, Killing An Arab to the killer dance number In Between Days, this collection shows the group's versatility. All the selections in this compilation brim with intelligence in the lyrics and fine musicianship. Unfortunately, this period did not last as they slid into forgettable, disposable pop tunes soon after this period. For the true essence of The Cure one must procure this collection in order to really understand what they were about. It's good for what ails you.
Great CD. Even if you are not sure if you are a Cure fan or not, this CD will bring you back to the great music of the 1990s. If the only Cure song that you know is "Just Like Heaven," then give this a shot.
