Ahh "Disintergration". Regarded by many Cure fans as the best of the best (along with "Pornography" and "Three Imaginary Boys"/"Boys Don't Cry") and it certainly holds up till this day.
Sentimental and bittersweet, Robert Smith's lyrics and music create a lush album filled with self-reflection, insecurities and nightmares of love and hope.
The obvious pop single "Lovesong" is drenched in a haunting melody as is "Lulabye" but with more of a wickedness to it. But this album only has those few "pop" songs. One of the strongest tracks "Fascination Street" has an aggresive tone and perhaps one of the meanest basslines ever played. "Plainsong", "Untitled" and "The Same Deep Water As You" are as haunting as they are calming.
There truly isn't one bad note or bad lyric to be found anywhere. A true gem from a truly amazing talent.
