[98] Disintegration is the album The Cure will be remembered for, it's career defining and one of the decade defining albums. It's the perfect album to listen to on a cold dark winter night, where the only thing that's audible is this album and the rain tapping against your window. The atmosphere it creates is honestly like no other, it's The Cure returning to their gothic and moody roots, but with their Pop sensibilities still in tact. The thing that sets this apart from the other great Cure albums is it manages to create an atmosphere while having a collection of catchy, relatable and likeable songs. But the brilliance definitely lies in its atmosphere, it has a dark, brooding atmosphere that's pretty unmatched. A lot of albums are dark and atmospheric, but this definitely has that something different about it that sets it apart from most other albums. The album's quite long, but no other length would suffice, for The Cure to really be able to get this right - it had to be the right length, and they certainly had the talent to execute it perfectly.Best Albums of 1989".

The albums that followed, Faith (1981) and Pornography (1982), did not receive any great commercial or critical success, but instead helped in developing a devoted cult following. However, there were tensions in the band and Gallup exited in 1982. When Smith joined the Banshees in 1983, The Cure were briefly inactive, with Smith also collaborating on an album with Banshees' Steve Severin under the name of The Glove.

The Cure – Plainsong Lyrics | Genius Lyrics The Cure – Plainsong Lyrics | Genius Lyrics

The darkest funeral dirge sounds almost peppy compared to the goth apocalypse of the Cure‘s Disintegration, a 1989 album completed under such fraught circumstances that frontman Robert Smith seriously wondered if it would be the band’s last.Within the lyrics, Smith quotes a girl who compares the weather to death and complains about feeling old. “I think it’s dark and it looks like it’s rain, you said/ And the wind is blowing like it’s the end of the world, you said/ And it’s so cold, it’s like the cold if you were dead/ And you smiled for a second”. a b Sacher, Andrew (9 June 2021). "CHVRCHES and blink-182's Mark Hoppus discuss their Robert Smith collaborations". BrooklynVegan . Retrieved 26 September 2023. Sound-wise, Disintegration was far removed from the quirky, skewed pop that the band had released from 1982 to 1988. This album was a vast, sprawling epic of near-relentless melancholy, notable for its deeply textured slabs of synth-drenched introspection. The New Classics: Music".

The idea was of a fairy cave going on forever, but it looked very cramped and posed. The opening shot is terrible, this lingering shot of a huge phallus that makes no pretensions to be a stalagmite at all.
