But the standard CD release? It was good. The Japanese SHM-CD? It is transcendent.
Here is the critical reality check: There is of The Cure’s Greatest Hits in SHM-CD FLAC format. You cannot buy it on Qobuz, 7digital, or HDtracks. SHM-CD is a physical-only product.
This compilation covered the years 1987 through 2001, featuring the "Dream" lineup of Smith, Simon Gallup, Boris Williams, Porl Thompson, and Roger O'Donnell on select tracks. While purists might argue for the sprawling depth of Standing on a Beach (1986), the 2001 Greatest Hits offers a sonic cohesion that is unmatched. It captures the band at their most polished, their most lush, and their most technically proficient.
