Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting as the direct sequel to 'Standing on a Beach', 'Galore' meticulously chronicles the second, highly commercial decade of The Cure's career. The collection traces Robert Smith's evolution from a gothic-pop icon into a massive, stadium-filling alternative rock star, heavily highlighting the bright, vibrant singles of the 'Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me' and 'Wish' eras. It serves as a flawless, pop-oriented counterpart to their earlier, gloomier work.
