In their 27-year existence, the Cure have perfected a unique sound and amassed a startling number of hit singles, platinum discs and assorted gongs. Although AWOL for the past few years, they're scheming a comeback on a new label, iam Records. Meanwhile, this four-disc epic digs deep into the band's huge backlog of outtakes and obscurities. In typical Cure fashion, they've made few concessions to the non-aligned listener.
