The former leader of Cure (the band has indeed split, since Robert Smith is currently working solo) is like fine wine: he improves with age. A falsely affable star and a bit of a spoiled child in the ivory tower of his band's success, which became major with the second album in 1980, Smith enhances this new best of, whose selection of hits will satisfy the majority, with particularly energetic live versions, although acoustic. To please those who have everything for over twenty years (there are some), the scruffy teddy bear inventor of the "spleen" new wave casually offers two true exclusives: an electro-pop "Cut Here" woven from the arpeggio and "This Is It" harmonized in a cookie-cutter style by Saffron, usually in charge at Republica. A compilation yes, but one that is worth the money.
