Robert Smith, behind the lipstick and mascara that have turned his face into a pop icon, hides a heart as big as this. In this album which, at the time of its release, was said to bring the group back to the glories of their debut, he opens it and wounds it, leaving the listener disarmed and emotionally k.o. "Pictures of You", "Love Song", the famous "Lullaby", are some of the most brilliant gems of the entire Smithian songbook.
New wave echoes, crystal-clear melodies, and guitars that are a single long shiver down the spine serve as a backdrop to a voice that has never been so full of suffering and participation in his previous albums. Among our fans, there are those who prefer the post-punk of the early days, those who prefer the pop turn of the mid '80s, but we believe that "Disintegration" puts everyone in agreement, delivering to pop history one of the most poignant and intense albums of the last twenty years.
