The Cure-Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (1987)

"Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me" is the seventh album by the British band The Cure, the second of their transitional period, moving away from their earlier gothic and dark style towards a more accessible and eclectic musical evolution. The success of their previous album, "The Head on the Door", reinforced the direction taken by frontman Robert Smith, who was developing a more energetic and carefree sound, a development that would become the catalyst for their massive recognition and subsequent tremendous success. Mixing different styles, from the psychedelic sounds of the bellicose "The Kiss" and "Shiver and Shake", to the somber "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep" and "Catch", and the upbeat "Just Like Heaven" and "Hot Hot Hot!", allowed them to continue their rise in popularity and commercial success, while also becoming one of their most widely discussed albums.
