About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Expanding the latent arena rock sensibilities that peppered Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me by slowing them down and stretching them to the breaking point, the Cure reached the peak of their popularity with the crawling, darkly seductive Disintegration. It's a hypnotic, mesmerizing record, comprised almost entirely of epics like the soaring, icy "Pictures of You." The handful of pop songs, like the concise and utterly charming "Love Song," don't alleviate the doom-laden atmosphere. The Cure's gloomy soundscapes have rarely sounded so alluring, however, and the songs -- from the pulsating, ominous "Fascination Street" to the eerie, string-laced "Lullaby" -- have rarely been so well-constructed and memorable. It's fitting that Disintegration was their commercial breakthrough, since, in many ways, the album is the culmination of all the musical directions the Cure were pursuing over the course of the '80s. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

A Cure for Disentigrating Musicby Anonymous

April 06, 2006: This was by far one of the best of the Cure's albums. It was also one of the only ones not to feature a dominating amout of pop tracks. This is one of their dark albums that are in league with Faith, Seventeen Seconds, and Pornography. There are a lot of great songs and lyrics that really appeal to anyone into dark music. My only problem is I didn't like the huge amout of synth. It made it too new-wave, which the Cure most certainly isn't. A must-have.
