I think a lot of people in my generation that grew up listening to the Cure all had a point where they stopped liking them. In my opinion, Disintegration was the last good album that I was really into. Anything that came after that was too pop oriented, over produced, and lacked the elements I had loved from their evolution in the 80's. I know people that love their 90's-00's output, and I still hear "Friday I'm In Love" on the radio at least every other week. Its just not for me.
I've split my version of the Cure's greatest hits into two genres, post-punk and gothic dream-pop.
