Comments for Cure, The, Disintegration

Yes, Robert's getting old and he doesn't like it. Very gloomy, very well written and very excellent. Check out ENTREAT for better, live versions. Especially 'Prayers for Rain'.

The very best of Cure ! A soundsample would be nice at a location like this !

Expectant too punctual but prettier than ever. I really wish that the song would last forever.

The first album I have ever heared of Cure. I liked the "Forest" song before, but never went into Cure. "Pictures of you" attracts me the most. Other faves are "Seem deep water as you", "Disintegration" and "Untitled". Songs of less quality (IMHO): "Fascination Street", and the last but one (forgot the title).

the song titled "untitled" is the story of my life. I love all of the others too. This is the best sex music ever invented!

The first Cure album I reluctantly listened to, and the beginning of a beautiful relationship. The whole feel of the album brings on a tide of emotions and lots of memories.. Listen to it late at night and the last 4 tracks blow you away - along with Pornography and Faith, one of my favourite albums.

Lovesong is definitely The Cure's best song.

The Cure's best album. It doens't get any better than "Pictures of You", "Closedown", and "Plainsong"

Borrowed "Wish" from a friend and decided that I wanted to hear more so I bought Disintegration and instantly fell in love. This simply the best album ever recorded by any band. I just want to get lost in songs like "Same deep water as you". This album always makes me feel at ease in this loveless world.

Have listened to The Cure since The Top and of all their CD's, this is the best one yet. "Disentigration" is a very good song as well as "Closedown." "Plainsong" is also an excellent song. But of all The Cure, I personally have, "The Same Deep Water as You" has got to be my all time favorite song. The mellow music in the background as Robert Smith tells of leaving his girl after sex is the most outragious song I've heard in a long time. The song is perfect for sex, sunsets, driving, and I suppose damn near any situation life has to offer.

It bored the heck out of me. Very much like all their other stuff except it managed to go on for even longer.

And, I forgot to mention, the title track sounds a lot like the band Wire circa "The Ideal Copy".

my very favorite song off this album is definately pictures of you.. all in all a great album but i'm a little disappointed with lullaby

Disintegration was the first Cure album I had ever purchased. I heard a song from the album on of all places "Star Search"!! I thought to myself 'what a cool sounding song'. About a year later one of my brothers was listening to the same song and I asked "what is that?" He said, "The Cure." I have been hooked ever since on their music. The highlights of Disintegration are definitley "Plainsong" "Pictures of You" "Lullaby" and my favorite "Closedown".

This is by far the best Cure album ever. Granted, almost all Cure albums are amazing, but this one is brilliant. "Lullaby" is the best Cure song to date, and "Disintigration" is underrated but very good. I have listened to The Cure since Head on the Door and this beats all previous efforts by Mr. Smith and his band.

Who Needs sex when you've got "Disintegration?" Who Needs friends when you've got "Disintegration?" Who Needs hope or happiness when you've got "Disintegration?" Who Needs anything when you've got "Disintegration?" It's very easy to just forget everyhting and lie in a dark room hating yourself forever while this album plays. It's just the most beautiful piece of never-ending misery ever written. Fun things to do while listening to "DISINTEGRATION..." 1)Lie in a dark room and cry. 2)Want to commit suicide. 3)Bemoan a lost love or a love you wished for and never had. 3)Repeat #3. 4)Do Drugs 5)Lie in a bed with someone and hold them close. 6)Repeat Steps 1,4,and 5 7)Cry 8)Cry 9)Cry 10)Ponder everything that's ever gone wrong in your life. 11)Suffer from horrible fits of depression. 12)Drift in and out of near-comatose deep sleep 13)Call up a friend late at night, and complain of feeling suicidal. 14)repeat steps #4, #1, #3, #10,#2, #13, and # 12 in that order. The best part is, even if you didn't want to do any of those things before, you will after hearing this album. It's nice to know that there's someone out there who I can really relate to. Robert Smith is just wonderful.

obviously the definitive Cure album and my favorite single album by any band, ever. Indescribably beautiful songwriting on "pix of you", "lovesong", "homesick" and untitled track. This album sustained my through my high school years.

Painful. Icy. Dark. Beautiful. The best album in history, Cure or otherwise.

Disintegration is absolutely the most amazing Cure album. It highlights all that The Cure are known and worshipped for. Best tracks include Fascination Street, Title track, The Same Deep Water As You,Lullaby. Robert has never had better lyrics. The music in general has never been so well composed

Ohh yes!!! I think that is the ultimate feeling of what goes through anyone's mind when they are looking through their CD's or tapes and reaches Disintegration. I am only a sophmore in high school yet it is this album that has carried me through (seemingly ultimate) depression into the highest I have ever been. It songs like 'Disintegration' (my all-time favorite) and 'Prayers For Rain' and, actually, every song that has truly aided me in finding myself. The best album ever created in my mind. Words simply can not describe it....

this is the best cure album to date. i have listen to it a lot but never got it. i am doing that right away,just for the purpose of punishing myself through oblivion.

This was _my_ first Cure album too, back in '89 in high school when I heard Love Song on the radio. It was so totally unlike anything I'd ever heard. Then the video... it struck something deep in me that had never been struck before by something outside myself... I bought the album, broke-poor old me, purely on the basis of that one fabulous song. It took me awhile to fully appreciate it, since it was so foreign at the time. I now own nearly everything, and am working on the rest... Many songs are among my favorites... Elise, Close to Me, Twilight Garden, Pictures of You, Deep Green Sea... but Disintegration is my all-time definite number one favourite. For some perspective, I am a classical musician, and very snobby in my musical tastes. I appreciate the Cure on many levels, their music being one of them. the harmonies and colours and instrumentation blend with the lyrics in such a beautiful and meaningful way... And it is all thanks to Robert. His voice emotes itself through it all... Heather the Buzzard

although i had seen them over the years on mtv and recognized several of their songs, it wasn't until "disintegration" that i actually bought one of their cd's. being a big music fan (over 450 cd's and another 400 lp's plus countless, rare 45's etc.), and a musician as well, i can say with clarity that few albums have moved quite the way this one did. clearly a masterpiece with so many under- lining themes and motives it's just perfect. intended to be their last album (hence "closedown"), the mood is captured brilliantly. "plainsong", "pictures of you", "fascination street" and my personal favourite of theirs, the above mentioned "closedown" are standouts among the the perfectly sequenced set. every song achieves it goal and serves it's role in the album. although "lovesong" was a good single, and if i recall correctly was their biggest hit up to that point, it was overplayed on radio thus burned out. but when listened to in original purpose, it becomes refreshing and new again. just a masterpiece of sound and a perfect blend of mood and voice. it may sound trivial to some, but this album began a major change in my life, and showed me what a powerful effect music can have in one's life. shrug.

kiss me goodbye pushing out before i sleep can't you see i try swimming the same deep water as you is hard the shallowed drowned lose less than we you breath the strangest twist upon your lips and we shall be together. I could sit down right now and write out all the lyrics to this album, i've spent many quality hours with this one, mostly in the dark in my room in my bed. Beautiful.

Noones mentioned the beautiful keyboards on this album...this is the only album ever to make me cry just listening to it...both the words and the music....

So dark and lonely and *long*, it could be the pinnacle ofwhat is `The Cure`. This could arguably be a modern versionof "Faith". The standard album by which all other Curealbums are judged.
