An exquisite and intriguing extravange from The Cure, "The Caterpillar" is a certain high point for the band with a collage of unusual abstract imagery and the group's enthusiastic performance.
The Cure performs on a tight greenhouse where some images of a caterpillar in between shots. They sing and dance frantically and the hypnotic melodies of keyboards and guitars and drums along with Smith's voice are all part of the appeal. Put together it forms a great whole, but it's weird anyway. Lots of fun, one of their greatest hits in any case. They could put up a whole pitch black scenary as background and they would succeed in any case. "The Caterpillar" is that good as a song. 9/10.
