THE REVIEW
How would you describe the most beautiful and moving album you have ever listened to?
Look, it's not easy, I swear. I've been listening to music since I was 11 years old (so for about 18 years), and I listen to it practically all the time: while sleeping, in the morning to wake up, in the car while going to work, at work, at home while I have dinner or take a shower. Always. I'm obsessed (as you are too if you're here reading the review of someone who is anything but a reviewer.)
Let's get back to the point. I listened to Disintegration for the first time about 8 years ago and I swear I can't do without it anymore. Sure, there are other albums that I have carried with me for a long time and from which I could never separate, even from artists I prefer more than The Cure, but Disintegration guys IS NOT JUST AN ALBUM BUT THE SOUNDTRACK OF AN ERA AND AN ENTIRE GENERATION.
Achieving this omnipotent goal (pardon the term) were also others (see Pink Floyd), but according to my large ears (they have an above-average diameter) Disintegration is something unique.
I'm talking about sensations (strong as Vasco Rossi would say) and not about rock, electro-pop, new wave, dark, white and blah blah blah but simply about SENSATIONS, about EMOTIONS that only this album for about 8 years has managed to give me with every listen. Songs like "Homesick" (melancholic and sad like no other song ever written before, that makes you vibrate and vibrate with every note), "Fascination Street" (lively, a continuous explosion of joy and anger), the titular "Disintegration" (with the guitar on loop for 7 minutes but you wish it would never end) make this album THE SOUNDTRACK OF MY LIFE.
thank you Robert

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.
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...'

Robert Smith, behind the lipstick and mascara... hides a heart as big as this.
"Disintegration" delivers to pop history one of the most poignant and intense albums of the last twenty years.
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."
