Customer Reviews

A Catch
Worth buying just for "Catch", which reminds me of my Uni days and a certain girl.

Brings a tear to my eye even now, nearly 20 years on. Lovely.

Excellent reissue...
Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me came as the second of a run of three classic albums from The Cure. It built on the alt-rock sound of The Head on the Door and contained a few pointers towards Disintergration.
The remastered sound is excellent.
The bonus disc is obviously aimed at fans, but is also an enjoyable listen in its own right.
A note for those wondering why Hey You! was originally left off the CD. When CDs first emerged, the format used had a maximum playing time of a few seconds over 74 minutes. A few years later the format was altered, increasing the playing time to 80 minutes (more recently it became possible to squeeze just over 82 minutes on a CD, but this can cause problems with some players).

Just like audio heaven!
By 1987 The Cure were in their stride, combining mainstream success with critic success, thanks mainly to the 36 minute "Head on The Door" album.

"Kiss Me (x3)", an 18 song extravaganza (well over an hour in length) is an amazing collection of dark and dour, but with those killer Cure hooks.

The singles were firm and bubbly ("Just Like Heaven" may just be the greatest Cure single of all time), but digging futher tracks like "Torture" and "One More Time" are just so excellent it makes the hairs on your body stand up.

The second disc is full of the compulsory demos and "live bootleg" tracks cuz most of the other material has found it's way out on various boxsets over the years. It's still amazing to hear the germination of the final product though.

This album is highly recommended!
