View More By The Cure Our ReviewBy 1987 the Cure were among the most successful “alternative” rock bands in the world. Their previous album, 1985’s The Head on the Door, had been a massive hit and expectations were high. After years of single-minded leadership, Robert Smith was opening the band up to be more of a democracy and the additional input of his fellow bandmates led to such an overabundance of material that the group determined Kiss Me would need to be a double album. From the long instrumental passages that add to the album’s intense, epic mood to the ornate, ‘80s psychedelic flourishes that color the tracks, Kiss Me is a headphone listener’s dream. “Why Can’t I Be You?” and “Just Like Heaven” are the obvious radio-friendly pop songs, while “The Kiss,” “If Only Tonight We Could Sleep,” “How Beautiful You Are…” and “The Perfect Girl” reflect the heavy romance that replaced the group’s earlier unnerving despair. Emotions continue to dominate with overstated urgency, but it’s with a bit more sense of play.. Customer ReviewsHypnotic and Quirky, Great Chemisty (5 stars)Wow... This is one great Album.

The release is considered a double album, and the cassette version offered an additional song called "Hey You". Due to time limitation, the CD had to illiminate t Almost Complete... (5 stars) This was/is one of my favorite albums from The Cure, however I was really disappointed to find that the title track wasn't available. I'm beginning to think my ancient cassette tape of this album is the only one in existance with Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me on it. It's a great song, and it's exclusion from iTunes causes me great pain. The rest of the album is great too, classic Cure, great tones and tunes. 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...
