5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE IT!, May 13, 2009
This was the album that got me hooked on the Cure. I owned it on vinyl. I owned it on cassette. Now I own it on CD. This is a MUST HAVE for anyone who likes 80s music. I LOVE IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvelous!!! Quite possibly their best album., May 6, 2009
By S. Ferris (Stillwater, OK USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"Kiss Me" was my first Cure album and I've always thought that it was their best. Since I already had several of the songs from "The Head on the Door", I had never purchased the album or even listened to the songs that weren't singles. The singles were so amazing I figured that the remaining songs couldn't possibly compare. Boy was I wrong. This album is absolutely fantastic. I'm so glad that after all these years I finally bought this album.
