Our Take
The Cure's The Broadcast Collection 1979-1996 is a nostalgic trip through the band's live performances over nearly two decades. From the early days of the post-punk scene to their evolution into gothic rock legends, this compilation captures the essence of The Cure in all their wild, eclectic glory. Opening with the frenetic energy of "Jumping Someone Else's Train" from a 1979 radio broadcast, the listener is immediately transported to a time when Robert Smith's hair was even bigger than his guitar solos. The collection offers a mix of hits like "Boys Don't Cry" and "Lovesong" alongside deep cuts like "The Big Hand" and "Fascination Street," showcasing the band's versatility and range. Smith's trademark wails and moans are present throughout, reminding us why he's one of the most distinctive voices in alternative music. The intricate guitar work of Porl Thompson and the pulsating bass lines of Simon Gallup provide the perfect backdrop for Smith's melancholic lyrics and haunting melodies. Songs like "A Forest" and "Just Like Heaven" are standouts, capturing the band at the peak of their powers. The live versions here are raw and powerful, with Smith's voice cracking under the weight of emotion like a teenager's voice on the cusp of puberty. Overall, The Cure's The Broadcast Collection 1979-1996 is a must-have for any fan of the band or anyone looking to dive into the weird and wonderful world of post-punk and gothic rock. Just make sure you have plenty of black eyeliner and hairspray on hand before hitting play.
