Review: The mood, the atmosphere, the emotion... The Cure - Disintegration by The Cure is one of those albums that never really leaves you. I was in high school when this came out, and hearing it on vinyl brings all of that right back. The mood, the atmosphere, the emotion — it all still hits just as hard. Songs like “Plainsong,” “Pictures of You,” and “Lovesong” feel timeless, and the album works best when listened to straight through. This pressing sounds great. The music has space to breathe, with rich low end, clear mids, and that lush, layered sound The Cure does so well. Vinyl really suits this album, letting the dynamics and textures shine in a way that feels more immersive than digital. It’s not just nostalgic — it genuinely holds up as a complete, cohesive record. This album is an easy one to recommend on vinyl. A classic that still feels powerful decades later.

Is it proper even to use the word "review" in this context? One of the best things Roger Ebert ever said was that Prospero's Books (Greenaway) "stands above criticism". I feel the same way about Disintegration. It's difficult to believe that Robert Smith really wrote this, easier to imagine that Mozart-like this music always was and he just scribbled it out. Not true of course, this music obviously came from the depth of a human soul, and Smith has more than proven his genius. What amazes me is how few people understand what a miracle the Cure is, how long the love between the fans and this band (well, Bob and Simon anyway) has gone on. No other artist I am aware of has produced great music in four decades. Oh sure, there are singers with that kind of longevity, but writing, performing, engineering and producing, plus touring behind it all? Maybe Neil Young? At least he still writes. Oldsters that perform with 86-piece backing bands are disqualified, so that leaves out Bruce, the Stones, etc. Otherwise, forget it, unless there's some country western artist I'm ignorant about, Smith has no competition. So if there are only 283 reviews posted here, why not? Maybe Cure fans shouldn't be so shy in talking about the holy grail, then there'd be tens of thousands and they'd need a new server to hold them all. Now, let's defend that title, the best album ever. I don't need to preach to the converted and mention that every song on this album is a solid, A-class song do I? Anything weak at all? "Closedown" could be criticized as being less than an independent song due to the paucity of lyrical content, but it's a wonderful piece of music in context. My least favorite song might be "Disintegration", just due to the shattering noise it makes in disgorging Bob's relationship guilt, but I'm being silly aren't I? Great song. My favorite is "Last Dance", which oddly enough wasn't on the vinyl, though thank goodness Smith recognizes it, and included it on Trilogy, or I'd die. But I digress. Let's look at the other contenders. The White Album? No way, a good 50% of that album is [...], I don't care what Paul says. And some of the rest are novelty songs that don't really make for serious listening. The Doors? Worthy indeed, but do you really like "Whiskey Song"? I hate it myself, and the album is not a complete effort, despite the overall greatness that cannot be denied. Let's defer to Rolling Stone and pass right over Sgt. Pepper's, some of which is not even listenable, be honest! Pet Sounds? Very dated, not a uniform effort by any means. Revolver? Great songs, but there is a lot of filler on that album, unless you can whistle "And Your Bird Can Sing" for me . . . right now. It's the same for the rest of the top ten, which includes Exile on Main Street, a album loaded with undistinguished blues stuff, even Stones fans will admit. Quick, name one song on that album other than "Tumbling Dice". I'm waiting. Rumours? No, about a 50% great effort, several songs to the scrap bin. You can argue about impact, history, influence, sure. In that context maybe Elvis did have the #11 album of all time, and Sgt. Pepper is #1 (I guess). But just as a piece of music, start to finish, what really compares to this? Damn little. If great men stand on the shoulders of others, maybe in that context Disintegration is the result of integrating all those prior great albums. But it stands on top regardless. The best album ever made. ## Frequently Bought Together - Disintegration - Pornography - The Head on the Door --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2635787-disintegration](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2635787-disintegration) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
