Although she found the two extra-tracks superfluous, Ellen hailed Disintegration as "a mindblowing and stunningly complete album".

Smith felt the song was a perfect opener for the record, describing it as "very lush, very orchestral".Plainsong", the album's opener, "set the mood for Disintegration perfectly", according to biographer Jeff Apter, by "unravelling ever so slowly in a shower of synths and guitars, before Smith steps up to the mic, uttering snatches of lyrics ('I'm so cold') as if he were reading from something as sacred as the Dead Sea Scroll. This is a prime example of where the CD is a better sounding and more complete version of this album. And yes, I would like to know if one is better than the other, but I truly can't figure it out from reading the below. Reviewer Barbara Ellen noted the large range of emotions in Smith's lyrics, "from deep, loving pink to an ugly, violent maroon and almost back again". In the US, due to its appearance in the film Lost Angels, the band's American label Elektra Records released " Fascination Street" as the first single.

When Tolhurst arrived to the mixing of the album, and then became excessively drunk, a shouting match ensued and he left the building furious; three weeks later, Smith decided to terminate his tenure with the band prior to the band's upcoming tour. While the album mainly consists of sombre tracks, "Lovesong", "Pictures of You" and "Lullaby" were equally popular for their accessibility. But then, it was from that point that the problems began to build even with this charismatic centre and the none-more-Cure elements of low-slung/high note bass and rising clouds of synthesisers given thrust by circular drum patterns.The packaging is great and just shows how good things can be if the band are involved and real care is taken. The band performed numerous high-profile concerts, including shows in front of more than 40,000fans over two nights in Paris and their first performances in Eastern Europe. Disintegration was certified silver (60,000 copies shipped) in the United Kingdom, [32] and by 1992 had sold more than three million copies worldwide.

It was a bit pretentious really, looking back, but I actually wanted an environment that was slightly unpleasant". NME praised Disintegration for its tunes, "from the first track 'Plainsong', a swaying, slow narrative, paralysing the listener with sex-poison, to Disintegration's last 'Untitled' Smith's lyrical agony of indecision is remorseless". Pixies and Love and Rockets were the special guests on the biggest concerts of that tour, [59] [60] in addition to the support act Shelleyan Orphan which was present on all the dates.The upside, however: the sleeve makes great wall art and the records make really nice oversized coasters! This realisation was frightening to him, as he felt all the masterpieces in rock and roll had been completed well before the band members reached such an age. The songs are clear and bright but the surface noise is unbearable right from the drop of the needle. One of my first big memories of listening to Disintegration involves wandering around the Colorado State Fair, from the agriculture show to the gang fights by the midway.

The Cure nahrávali Disintegration ve studiu Hookend Recording Studios v Checkendonu v hrabství Oxfordshire se spoluproducentem Davidem M.Výsledkem je emocemi nabitá kolekce písní, které se pohybují od temných a zádumčivých až po hymnické a povznášející. Like most remasters these days, this one has to pump up the volume toward modern levels, which means smushing things together and making parts fight for space. Indeed, for a while it looked like they might just pull off the miracle of making the original record’s second side if not brilliant then at least kinetic enough to pull us through. In a contemporary review for Rolling Stone, music critic Michael Azerrad gave the album three-and-a-half out of five stars and felt that, "while Disintegration doesn't break new ground for the band, it successfully refines what the Cure does best". Rhino reissue so not to surprised but for such a great Cure album not in my collection am super disappointed.
