Reviews"Magnificently Realised...", "With Favorites like the Bouncy 'in between Days' and the Questing 'a Night like This.'", 4 Star Out of 5-"A 1985 Poptopian Tour De Force."
If you like the Cure you will love this record. It is an absolute text book case of the sweep and magnitude of their material. From the pure pop of Close to Me alongside other great singles such as the romantic A Night Like This and quirky Screw to the lush synthesizer soundscaping of Sinking, this is an overview of the band in their mid 80s hey day. If you don't like the Cure, this collection of Robert Smith's twisted psyche probably won't help shift your opinion. However this is not like the first 3 distinctly arty Cure albums - 17 seconds, Faith and Pornography. With the Head on the Door Smith made it clear that the band were heading for commercial success and stadium appeal - something they have done successfully ever since. A clever piece of pop in it's own right and certainly a heady dose of 80s nostalgia. Highly recommended.
