Disintegration

nah

Never like The Cure, won't even listen to this.

Disappointing album. I always enjoyed the music at the beginning of each track, but it would outstanding it's welcome and the vocals never dit it for me. Probably 1.5.

When I clicked on the apple music link... 3 hours 36 minutes. Nah... not going there. Might cure my insomnia.

What a slog. The songs are all half light and airy instrumental and half with dull uninspired vocals. I don't even know if I can tell the difference between the tracks. And why are these tracks so damn long? 7, 8, 9 minutes? You could condense them all down to 2 and still lose nothing. I'd heard Friday I'm In Love and Tainted Love before, so I was curious to hear their other songs. Well, not anymore. Best song: Prayers For Rain

Did not want to listen to this. Track 1 - Plainsong - not bad, still not absolutely gripping me Track 2 - I hate this type of singing, perhaps hate is too strong a word but I just dont find any of these kinds of songs interesting. It is not bad per se but not my liking Track 7 - Fascination Street - better than the rest so far I still maintain I am the type to like ALL music, all genres and everything but this for me is not a MUST listen to. It is fine. That is how I see it.

I was surprised not to know any of the songs. And not very fond of what I heard. Not for me.

All instrumental. Not my thing. All songs were so long

I alr know this album and i hate it. I hate songs like this that are now used to perform some sort of personal autenticity by people that lack it.

Very lazy songwriting. Pick a sound and drone on it. Maybe the lyrics were good, but honestly I couldn't be bothered listening to them.

Not a fan

This album features loads of plodding, overly-long numbers played in a lazy generic-Cure style that barely wavers from track to track, as though the band had calcified by this point. Nearly every song has the identical chord-change-unfailingly-on-the-downbeat structure that makes listening nothing less than tedious. Robert Smith wanted to make some kind of monumental statement with this record and ended up with a bombastic, overblown snoozefest that lacks any of the humor or spark of the band's more upbeat work.

The Cure is just not for me. 1 Star

Getting The Cure two days in a row was something. Certainly cured me from the desire to kick back and relax with an album listen. I gave up on the 3rd track. It's never going to be my vibe. Repetitive effects, samey-samey vocals, and not a singular moment of inspiration on the guitar or drums. Goths apparently do not riff. I read the wiki and went back to listen to Lovesong as the most popular track. Yes, it's a bit of a jam. It's not boring like the rest of the mood, someone add synth tracks, and it's very pop-y. It's also the shortest track in this album, like 25% shorter than the other tracks on average. So you can imagine rest of the album is a pure slog. On the very next track, I gave up again.

This might be sacrileigous but I found this mind-numbingly boring and DNF'd

Thought I was going to hate this and actually only dislike it. It's all a bit dull teen angst from the 80s with far too many monotonous instrumentals.

This is the 141st album I’m rating. Right now I want to listen to some Fiona Apple because I know I'm going to hate this. Adding to my Playlist - Plainsong and Lovesong. Not Adding to my Playlist - Pictures of You, Closedown, Last Dance, Lullaby, Fascination Street, Prayers for Rain, The Same Deep Water as You, Disintegration, Homesick, and Untitled. Plainsong - Nevermind. This shit's really good. I'm sorry to The Cure. Pictures of You - Nevermind. This is shit. I hate The Cure. All in all I liked 2/12 songs. Pretty shit album. I did not need 71 minutes of this.

EN lo personal nunca he sido muy fan de The Cure. Este sería like mi 4to intento to get into them 1. Muy dreamy for me. 2. Not bad, not catchy either. 3. Gay-ish, didn't like it. 4. Gayer, not enjoying. 5. Muy su época lo 80's-y de la guitarra con efectos largos. Not enjoying tho', skipping el ending. 6. Lullaby. Me gustó, nice beat, whispered lyrics. 7. Tuvo nice, pretty solid. Nothing too amazing. 8. Mid, not a huge fan. 9. Zzzzzzzz 10. Como chilla Smith, diojmío... No, que ladilla. 11. Homesick. Ladillísima. 12. Maloso. Solo me gustó el ending tipo Jagermeister Pie de Beck.

Not that good!

honeslty couldn't make it through. like individual tracks but not my bag

straight ass

I went into this album with an open mind, trying to enjoy it because this is typically not the type of music I listen to. Honestly I did not like it and couldn’t wait for it to be over.

Best Song: They were all boring Worst Song: Literally nothing stood out

Ick, goths. Weller-hating goths at that. Pass.

That album was really boring.

Moody but catchy. The album balances just on the line for me. I like a few songs but can't really listen through some of the others. I'm conflicted on how to rate this but since I don't think I will listen to the songs again or add them to any playlists I can't give it a high rating.

I really don’t understand why people fawn over this band so much. Awful.

Boring drivel. Was expecting so much more!

It’s the cure. It’s distinctively 80s.

Not even sure what it is I’ve just listened to but it’s terrible

I keep seeing people call it “self indulgent” and hint at it being complex, but on first listen most of it is extremely boring

I can’t…I just can’t…anything but The Cure.

I have never heard an entire album by the cure before this. Admittedly they never grabbed my attention and part of me really wanted to enjoy this, to finally ‘get’ them. Alas, that did not happen and I am firmly in the ‘not a cure fan’ camp.

Annoying whining singing, flat bass and loud repetitive flat drums with the odd super song thrown in

Did not listen

Didn’t like this. Even tried having it on as background music and couldn’t take it.

I spent a whole hour waiting for something interesting to happen. The Cure surely had appeal as a cultural phenomenon, something relatable for teenagers as we went through some existential shit. As a band, on this recording, they show a remarkable commitment to a single approach to songwriting: Robert Green is sad and all we do is play little phrases four times between his earnest yearning. At the same tempo. In the same key. With the same timbre. I can't believe there are 12 songs on this album. If it was a police line up, I'd throw my hands in the air and say "Fuck it, let them all go free". There is no way to tell which is which. I never got into The Cure and I wasn't sure why until now. Now it's clear that I just didn't notice them.

muy turbio bro

Not for me this. Too slow, weird and gothic for my liking. Couple of songs weren’t half bad. 1.5

Drones on a bit

Nicht mein Geschmack.

Barely got through listening to the album and wouldn’t bother ever trying again. “The culmination of all the musical direction…” led to a very narrow course. Every song sounds exactly the same. Boring. Robert Smith’s droning voice does the songs no favors either

"Disintegration is the eighth studio album..." the scary thing is that there are 7 more of these

Boring melodies. Whining annoying vocals. As expected from The Cure.

1.5

Very 80s - amazed it's 89 as it feels older. Almost like muzak or the crap music played by a prom band in a late 90s high school comedy. Don't think I'll get through the whole thing to be honest

Found this very boring. Borderline annoying. I guess I don’t like the Cure. 1 star.

1 good/well known song

I hate his voice so much; 1.4/5

ojalá sigas eso, se ve re bueno

According to Wikipedia when this was written the guy was on drugs, and to be fair you can tell. The whole album consists of whining/talking over some dead demo-track sounding guitar and drums. I don’t know how this peaked in the charts. The only explanation I can think of is everyone was collectively depressed that year and felt like being edgy. Well you’re not being edgy, you’ve just got not taste in music.

Not very good

Suunniteltu ja hinkattu studiossa vetoamaan alhaisimpiin romanttisiin tunteisiimme - kuin teini-ikä ei olisi vain paskaa vaan myös ikuista, ja oi he kyllä ymmärtävät. Lopputulos: kivoja ääniä, ei yhtään koukkua (sori mutta noita kitarakulkuja ei lasketa), koomisen pitkiä introja ja biisejä. Tai ehkä koukut on säästetty jokaisen biisin vikalle minuutille, mutta niin pitkälle harvoin ehdin.

eh

Just terrible. I liked the instrumentation on a couple of songs (Prayers For Rain, for one) but I can't stand his voice and the lyrics were either inane or whiny, and the attempts to be deep were embarrassing. 1.5 stars

Thought I might like The Cure album more than I am, it's far too morose and repetitive for me, though I did like Pictures of You.

Sorry das war nix. Hab irgendwann beim hören gedacht damn so langsam ist auch mal gut gewesen und ich war kurz vor der mitte von track 2. Also kann nachvollziehen wenn man drauf steht aber kann dem wirklich 0,0 garnix abgewinnen sowwy

Blech. This was bad for a Cure album.

Ganska jättetråkig.

Feels dark. Haven't pay attention to the lyrics. Is kinda relaxing and depressing. LauraSad I guess.
