THE REVIEW

He looks at her.
He recalls that puzzle game from the weekly magazines,
the one where you have to find the discordant element among various elements united by something.
He tries to imagine the scene as a drawn cartoon, he has no trouble canceling the colors.
"It wouldn't be hard to find the discordant element," he says out loud.
She widens her eyes, not understanding.
The small flame, which is making the wax drip onto the table, swims within it, agitating.
He leans in, brushing the back of her hand with his cheek,
tickling her with the short hairs of his beard.
She smiles, while her eyes continue to tremble.

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..."
Silence.
"See you soon"...

 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 killrockstar76

 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."
