THE REVIEW
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.

To this day (along with Faith and Pornography) the best dark album ever released in the history of music.
Robert Smith’s creativity reaches its peak here, and it was the last masterpiece by The Cure.

Disintegration guys IS NOT JUST AN ALBUM BUT THE SOUNDTRACK OF AN ERA AND AN ENTIRE GENERATION.
Songs like 'Homesick'... make you vibrate and vibrate with every note.
By Sam
He tries to imagine the scene as a drawn cartoon, he has no trouble canceling the colors.
In the distance, amid the murmur of the other customers in the place, Robert Smith sings 'It’s just the way I smile, you said...'
By Mariaelena
Disintegration is like therapeutic psychological power, the more you listen to it, the more it draws out the worst or, in some way, the best in us.
Robert Smith, what he creates inside my soul is of such greatness that I cannot compare him to any artist under the aspect of painful infusion of the soul.
By Daedal
"Disintegration gathers the leaden shards left by Pornography and assembles the greatest chapter in the history of The Cure."
"The album is compact and coherent, fascinating, sad and cold as the night, and as emotional as only a masterpiece of The Cure can be."
