1) Amazon.com
Disintegration is a pop album realized on an epic scale. Most of its 12 songs are long mood pieces that develop slowly around the listener. Anchored by complex drum patterns, the layered guitars, soaring bass lines, and rich keyboards blend to create a lush, evocative soundscape that captures the ear immediately; and for all its length, the album is never boring. The lyrical focus is intensely personal throughout, and, with the exception of "Love Song," the mood is overwhelmingly dark and brooding. Here are songs of remembrance that, through their deep candor, transcend the individual level to explore universal longings and fears. Robert Smith, his vocals plaintive or angry or despairing, unfolds a tapestry of loss. Broken bonds, old lies, missed opportunities, belated realizations. Anyone who has experienced the joy and sorrow--especially the sorrow--of love will find his or her deepest sentiments, noble and petty alike, echoed poetically here. --Al Massa

1) this is where to start if u are new to the cure [Rating: 5 out of 5]
disintegration is the ultimate cure album. it has everyhting that makes the cure, well the cure. there are songs of sorrow, heartbreak, lies, but also joy, eternal love and the ideals of word forever. this album was created as an answer to the reaction of "kiss me kiss me kiss me". Robert wrote this while the planning of his wedding to his wife, mary, was going on. Now this might sound bad but u have to know robert and it all makes sense. some of the highlights include: the whole album, there isnt a bad track on here so buy it now and thank me later!!2) Quintessential Masterpiece [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Disintegration is the quintessential masterpiece album by the Cure. An epic novel in sonic form. Each song is layered with textures and containing a limitless quality, with effortless emotional expression, some of the absolute best lyrics Robert Smith has ever written and surely better then most song writers in any case. Dreamlike, Celtic and timeless. Disintegration cannot be dated like other music of the era. Like a good book it can be recaptured in any time or any place. Those of us that listened to it back then will be immediately catapulted back to the people we were then and the places we listened to it, feel what we felt again, the tastes, the smells, the dreams of all things. Love it!3) The Same Deep Water As You [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This entire cd is amazing....period I remember the first time I heard it, I played it like 10 times...this is a "CLASSIC" If you don't have this in your music collection your not a music lover. When Smith and the boys wrote this you can feel every dark brooding note. again I can't say any better...I LOVe this cd.4) I think it's dark , and it looks like rain ... [Rating: 5 out of 5]
put on head phones, turn your volume up to the breaking point. Then lay down and press play. There will never be another day that you will ever be the same. This record is one of the finest pieces of music ever recorded. Don't think for a moment that this is a "goth" record anyone who wants to hear what great song writing and production sounds like should own this record.5) a classic. [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Not only is this the Cure's best album, it is also one of the best records ever made. It is a classic. every so often, i listen to this cd in its entirety and i feel reborn.
