Cure* – Paris

Bon, ok, ce n'est pas mauvais, mais, rien d'audiophile non plus, même si supervisé par Robert Smith. Je ne comprends pas les éloges, sur ce pressage. Ce n'est pas plat, il y a un léger bruit, mais du bruit tout de même ! Le son est bon, mais pas ultra dynamique. Cela reste un bon pressage, mais pour moi, il méritait mieux.

For quite some time, I had been eagerly anticipating this release from The Cure, one of my all-time favorite bands. As someone else said, this collection truly brings together many of their dark hits, creating a mesmerizing experience for any fan.

The pressing quality is fantastic: incredibly silent with perfectly flat discs. The mastering is impeccable, offering a wonderfully balanced sound across the lows, mids, and highs, delivering a panoramic and detailed auditory experience.

The presentation is simple, but honestly, I wouldn't ask for more. The two additional tracks included, "Shake Dog Shake" and "Hot Hot Hot!!!," are perfect complements to the rest of the music.

Overall, this release earns a well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars.

Superb quality. No clicks no pops. Listening to it using headphones with high volume (as recommended by the cover) super silent.

This really does sound great, the songs have much more life injected into them.

Why is The Big Hand not on this? Why is Faith not on this? They're on the master tapes, so what gives? What a disappointment. I am glad to finally have this on vinyl for under $400, but hot hot hot was the wrong song to include. I am very unhappy about this. And if I am, so are many other diehard fans.

It's disappointing that a group of that level has released a digipack of this quality.
I didn't like the change in the order of the tracks either.

Fantastic pressing. Clear and very dynamic. The bass is well balanced and the drums slams ! The vinyl itself is very quiet and perfectly centered.

Has anyone else had a hard time removing the CD from this awful card sleeve without putting a scuff on it? I tired to be as careful as ____, and it didn’t make a difference. Within a couple minutes of removing the shrink wrap, the damage was done.

It's more compressed than the original, but it does sound good. Boris and Simon, in particular, sound fantastic. And I actually like the new tracklisting!
