‘Plainsong’ begins with wind chimes, then a wall of synth and guitar lands all at once and holds. The vocal arrives late. ‘Pictures Of You’ takes its time too, the bass carrying the tune while guitars ring overhead. ‘Lovesong’ is the short, tight one. ‘Lullaby’ creeps in on plucked strings and a whispered vocal. ‘The Same Deep Water As You’ opens on the sound of rain and stretches past nine minutes. The title track runs at a gallop and never lets up. Then ‘Untitled’, its last notes thinning out to nothing.

About the album.

Disintegration is the eighth studio album from The Cure, a landmark of alternative rock that took the band back towards the darker, introspective sound of their early 1980s records. It was first released by Fiction Records on 2 May 1989.

The album was recorded at Hookend Recording Studios in Oxfordshire between late 1988 and early 1989, and produced by Robert Smith with David M. Allen. Its songs are long and layered, built on keyboards, ringing guitars and melodic bass lines, and four of them run past seven minutes.

It became the band’s commercial peak, reaching number three in the UK and number twelve in the US. Four singles came from it: ‘Lullaby’, ‘Fascination Street’, ‘Lovesong’ and ‘Pictures Of You’.

Because of its running time, the original single LP left off ‘Last Dance’ and ‘Homesick’. The 2010 reissue, repressed here, was the first to present the complete twelve-track album on double vinyl.

For that reissue the album was digitally remastered by Robert Smith from the original master tapes. It is pressed on 180g vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve, with printed lyric inner sleeves.

For the latest chapter, Songs of a Lost World, released in November 2024, was the band’s first studio album in sixteen years and gave them their first UK number one album in 32 years.
