this is where to start if u are new to the cure March 10, 2008
disintegration is the ultimate cure album. it has everyhting that makes the cure, well the cure. there are songs of sorrow, heartbreak, lies, but also joy, eternal love and the ideals of word forever. this album was created as an answer to the reaction of "kiss me kiss me kiss me". Robert wrote this while the planning of his wedding to his wife, mary, was going on. Now this might sound bad but u have to know robert and it all makes sense. some of the highlights include: the whole album, there isnt a bad track on here so buy it now and thank me later!!
Amazing, Beautiful, Dark and Out of This World! August 5, 2008
This is the best The Cure album-Period!
A real Gem. It's one of my favorite albums ever.
Opening song is amazing. They started with "Plain Song" concert in September 1996 in NYC in Radio City Music Hall. It was the best concert I have ever seen.
I don't want to analyze music on this album, it's simply flawless. Songs like "Plain Song", "Love Song", "Pictures of You" or amazing "The Same Deep Water as You" are example of musical perfection and beauty. Thank you The Cure!
Interested in The Cure? August 8, 2008
This review is meant for folks who wouldn't consider themselves hard-core fans, but who are interested in The Cure.
80's Alternative remains my music of choice even in 2008. I've always been a fan of The Cure, but wouldn't have called myself "hard-core" - up until this album I owned only four Cure albums. I pulled out KISS ME KISS ME KISS ME to introduce The Cure to a friend belonging to the generation below mine (I'm an X-er), who loves current dark, brooding Alternative music. I explained that The Cure did for Alternative music what Led Zeppelin did for Rock music, and invited him to explore the roots of Alternative. Not having listened to the album in a while, and feeling sort of reintroduced to it myself, I got a hankerin' for more, and went on Amazon to look for my next Cure purchase. I decided to check out DISINTEGRATION because I recognized a few songs, and the reviews for it were outstanding. In fact, the reviews were all so good, that my expectations were so high that I was afraid I would be let down. Trust me when I say, it did not disappoint.
I can't get the stinkin' thing out of my CD player at work. It reminds me of a concept album of sorts, flowing so easily from one song to the next, not changing your mood, but holding you hostage to hear the entire record. I find myself rewinding the song if I leave my office for even a moment. The vibe of the record isn't quite as dark as I expected, but to me, very sensual and alluring.
I am so looking forward now to building my Cure collection. By the way, this is most definitely my favorite of my now five Cure albums. Based on many helpful reviews, I think I'll try BLOODFLOWERS next.
Best....album....ever? October 28, 2008
Prior to the release of "Disintegration," The Cure could easily be considered a nice fit into the post-punk era of music, the underground clubby type stuff. With "Disintegration" they challenged an entirely new front, and released possibly the greatest front to back album of all time (obviously that is arguable). This is the greatest album this legendary band has ever produced, and it should come as no surprise that this is the most "relatable" Cure album to non-Cure fans.
"Pictures of You" is the standout track, and a great example of what is the run-of-the-mill sound on this album. The tracks are longer, and they allow themselves to develop each track and suck the listener right in. Each and every song is going to evoke an emotion of some sort from the listener, that's undeniable. This album is as perfect as an album can get--never gets old, never loses its effect.
This is a must own album for any collector of music, or anybody who has a set of functioning ears.
