View More By The Cure Our ReviewThis is The Cure’s entire performance as the headliner of the 2011 Bestival. It’s epic: 32 songs ranging from the band’s earliest days (“Boys Don’t Cry” and “Jumping Someone Else’s Train”) through the intensity of their mid-’80s period (“The Walk,” “In Between Days”) up through later material (“The End of the World”). It’s a career survey with lots of surprises. The four-day music festival held on the U.K.’s Isle of Wight came to a climax with this inspired set. The group’s extensive catalog lets Robert Smith and Co. wander through a myriad of moods. Keyboardist Roger O’Donnell returns and sets up lush sonic beds for the dreamy “Plainsong,” the eerie noir of “One Hundred Years,” and the sweet haze of “A Forest.” Hits are filtered through the set. “Lovesong” and “Just Like Heaven” pulse with muscular backing. (It can be argued the drums are too loud in spots.) Since the late ‘70s, The Cure has stayed true to its musical pursuits, becoming one of the world’s most acclaimed alternative bands..

(5 stars) Over the years, The Cure has turned into one of the best bands to hear LIVE. Cure fans, young and old, should buy this beautiful music, turn it up, and enjoy. This is an amazing performance from an iconic band, and the sound quality is great. I can't wait until the live recording of their recent "Reflections" tour is released. I was lucky to see them in L.A. last month, and I just love them more and more and more with every pas Meh... (2 stars) The drums sound tiny on a lot of songs…. The snare drum especially. Big fan of The Cure, although not a big fan of the current lineup. Why bring back Roger, while at the same time lose Porl? All of this experimenting with the lineup, yet the weakest link is still with the band. But don't let me get started on Jason…. Wrong choice then, wrong choice now. Hello? Where is the opening drum fill on "Open"? Enough with the c BiographyFormed: 1976 in Crawley, EnglandGenre: Alternative Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s Out of all the bands that emerged in the immediate aftermath of punk rock in the late '70s, few were as enduring and popular as the Cure. Led through numerous incarnations by guitarist/vocalist Robert Smith (born April 21, 1959), the band became notorious for its slow, gloomy dirges and Smith's ghoulish appearance, a public image that often hid the diversity of the Cure's music. At the outset, the Cure played jagged, edgy pop songs before slowly evolving into a more textured outfit. As one of the...
