Disintegration

Atmospheric, very deep themes of love with depressing undertones Fav tracks: plainsong, love song, last dance, fascination Street, same deep water as you

Sags a little in the middle third.

Bit gloomy.

Such a good album. I haven't heard this one in a long time and some of the songs I've forgotten, so it's almost like hearing them for the first time. 3/5 maybe close to 4/5

Rating: 7/10 Best songs: Lovesong

meh

This was a great album, liked it more than I thought I would

I dig it

Pleasantly surprised, but not in love w/ the vocals.

Perfect and fresh sounding pops rock for it’s time.

The best one!!!

I wish I had more time to really digest this album before I had to write this review. I could see myself absolutely loving this album after listening to it a few more times. It's a lot to take in-- there's a lot going on instrumentally and lyrically in each of these long songs. But I'll give what thoughts I do have now. This album has moments of transcendent beauty and moments of crushing sadness. Those moments often overlap, like on the opening track "Plainsong." I don't know why, but this song sounds like it would roll during the end credits of the movie of humanity, like you'd hear it over a montage of cities being vaporized by nuclear warheads. It's stunning and magical, but filled with deep tragedy. The most crushing moment is certainly "The Same Deep Water As You", a nine-minute epic that begins with the sound of a thunderstorm. It's dense, heavy, and filled with despair. The lyrics deal with themes of lost love and drowning, and singer Robert Smith's voice sounds like it's squeezing to get past the lump in his throat. The sprawling title track is one of a few tracks that song like they're going to be more upbeat and happy until you hear the lyrics, and you're dragged back into despondence. "Oh I miss the kiss of treachery, the aching kiss before I feed, the stench of a love for a younger meat," Smith wails. During my incredibly busy day today filled with Political Inquiry midterm reviews, Fundamentals of Rhetoric essays, and an Astronomy quiz, this album didn't get the chance to make a profound impact on me beyond a cursory listen or two. But I can see myself sitting alone in my room at 2 in the morning one of these days and this album hitting incredibly hard. It's just a matter of time.

Robert Smith describes this record better than I could on its opening track - "It's so cold". Not cold as in without soul or devoid of feeling - in fact this album provokes lots of feelings - sadness, heartache, pain, and even hope. The music feels frigid, yet it's remarkably relatable and impactful. "Plainsong" is a beautiful opener. "Pictures of You" is for me the most lyrically potent track. It's long, but enjoyable all the way through. "Lovesong" is quite the dramatic mood shift, yet there are still somber undertones to this track that fit it in nicely with the gloominess of the rest of the album. The instrumentation across the album has a lot of reverb and a lot of repetitive layers, which creates lots of physical space on each song. This sound is what pulls each record together and allows for the album to sound sonically cohesive. I really love the subtle touch to the transition between "Prayers For Rain" and "The Same Deep Water As You" where the narrator of the first track begs for rain and in the beginning of the next track, it begins to thunder and pour. It's minor additions like that that bring life to this album.

This was so totally different from the other The Cure album a few days back (Pornography). What a difference 7 years makes... Lots to enjoy here :-) Fav new track: Fascination Street

Toll!

Das fand ich viel viel besser als erwartet

The chimes are explicit first, but brief. When they come back, they are varied: Sometimes overtones and sometimes ambient noise. On top of them - always on top, as the mixing is consistent even as the instrumentation morphs - come modified pop songs. The modifications are not all the same, but the best ones slow down the production to pain while Smith vocalizes normally and melodies swirl. This listen, the melodies are what drew my ear: The best ones are always a little buried, it's neat. There's a strange call to dance, which makes the album less abject than the surface suggests.

Идеальный

Classic album

Понравился, красиво и мелодично

I like the Cure's songs and their music but I don't really like their vocals. Every time I listen to them, after a few songs I've usually had enough. I get why other people like them though. I have a lot of respect for their sound.

3.5

I don't recall owning this CD or cassette, but I felt an strong connected to each one of these songs. This will be going into rotation for me.

The whole is most definitely greater than the sum of its parts.

The sound is set out early and they run with it all the way. Hypnotic stuff.

Просто золото!

Just gorgeous atmospheric brilliance. Can't fault it. I think Lullaby is one of the great indie songs

sounds relaxing, there are beautiful space in sound, typical for The Cure, good album in general

I really liked this album. It's super gloomy and moody, with some great-sounding drums and swirly atmospheric guitars.

Classic 90s rock before the 90s had begun. Was expecting to really love it but ultimately ended in the good not great tier.

very good

I enjoyed this more now, remembering my youth, than I remember enjoying it then. Some great songs, such as Spiderman.

One of the best albums in the world of all time!

Слабовато, но неплохая мелодика.

very spooky!

1. Wow I did not expect this sound

This album is so relaxing, I just wanted to lie down and drift off to sleep listening to it

I only knew of "Close to me" before this, so the overall vibe of the album was somewhat surprising. It was excellent though, I love the singer's voice, the synths, and the wafting depressingness of it was in sync with my current surrounds, so it worked for me. Favourite song: Homesick

ну классный альбом чо, такой не веселый ниразу и депрессивный, но слушается круто. понравился

When I was a kid my older sister was a goth. She loved The Cure (and she really loved Robert Smith). I was into rock music; AC/DC, Motley Crue, Def Leppard and other bands of that ilk. As far as I was concerned Rock was cool, Goths were ridiculous and my ears were to remain closed to The Cure. Since then this band remained elusive to me. That is until earlier this year when I listened to Seventeen Seconds for the very first time. I immediately seen the error of my ways and began exploring more of The Cure. As a lifelong the Cure fan of approximately six months now Disintegration has already become one of my favourite albums. It’s a mesmerising album, seductive and atmospheric this is the band at the peak of their powers delivering a gorgeous, an epic laden album.

Moody but uplifting at the same time. The epic sound of the 80's bowing out.

Their absolute high point and peak for me - I used to laugh at the goths dressing like Robert smith and wrote the cure off as a teenager. Thankfully i wised up as I got older - lovesong and fascination street are two of my absolute favourites but this album is full of brilliant tracks - plainsong, pictures of you, disintegration, lullaby… an easy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great album

Brilliant, moody, atmospheric, introspective goth rock. A haunting and memorable experience. It’s a soundtrack to your feelings.

Wouldn't be the cure without being too long and too self-indulgent. That said this is my favourite Cure album so far

I find it hard to listen to Robert Smith for long periods of time - he's just too overwrought for me. Still, this was an undoubtedly excellent collection of music.

It was way better than I thought. Not really my style but good for working.

The cure, estilo propio. Dos megahits.

Herkenbare sound van 'The Cure' met heel wat deprimerende tekst en muziek. Wel een goed album, maar niet meteen iets om spontaan nog eens op te leggen

Yes yes Yes. Love the Cure and this album. 5 stars.

Absolute classic gothic rock. Influenced many of my favorite bands.

Having long hated The Cure's radio singles, I have been pleasantly surprised by each Cure album I've listened to, with this being the best I've heard so far.

Not really our thing, but we can see how this could be mind-blowing if it hit you during the right angsty teenage part of your life. Kind of a downer!

There's nothing wrong with this but I do not vibe with it.

Hands down my favorite Cure album. This is one of the most sonically gorgeous albums I've ever heard and is exquisite on headphones. The atmosphere is so intricate and detailed it's like your ears are on drugs. The contrast of the shimmering/stereo panning chimes and then the deep hit of the bass/synth at the beginning is like a 1-2 punch that just immediately knocks me out. The first two tracks are my favorites and pair so well together. Reverb, delay, and EQ all brilliantly balanced in such a way that they create this practically narcotic effect on me where I just want to shut everything else out and listen to this album over and over again in the dark as I go in and out of consciousness. I want to stay in it forever. The contrast of elements throughout the album from delicate to saturated and intense is so thrilling and dramatic in the best possible sense. A masterpiece.

Some cool hits on here, but a bit too long which makes me have to drop it down to 3. Still one of the better 80s albums.

Good jam band music

Like many others said, this album is objectively good! It's just a little hard to get into as an adult. Definitely a little on the slow/depressing side which can be done well - and they do mostly, but not my favorite genre I suppose! I really think there might also be a generational gap on this one.

Perfection

30th July 2021 Listened on my way to Ryder's wedding!! It is amazing, it's urgent and glamorous and emotional. I think the more listens it gets the more it will reward you.

First time listening to this. Can see why it's so highly rated

Top 10 dischi della vita.

I'd rather a 3.5, but 4 will do

Okay I’m staring to like The Cure more than when I was younger. Still not my favourite but some good, well-structured songs here

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

Eu preciso escutar com mais atenção os góticos

Not my favourite Cure album … a little bit all in the same place … Pictures of you my favourite track

Powerful, dark, orchestral, ambient album that's super depressing. At first I didn't know what to expect, and I didn't think I'd like it very much, but it was engaging and fascinating from front to back.

Very 90’s dreamy electronic pop rock. Not bad, not amazing either. Got kinda bored with it

No bad songs. Classic cure sound. Amazing production as you’d expect. Love song and Fascination street great singles. Album actually gets better as it goes on

Pictures of You

This was a really good album. The lead singers voice has a lot of character and sounds great. I loved the guitar/bass work on this too with some of the layering. The only little problem is the songs drag on just a bit too long in some cases.

Unexpected modern sounds

Hmm. I think it wasn't necessarily for me, but I really liked some of the melodies that were being played. My main issue was with the vocal mixing being so at the back that I (hearing issues) rarely cared for what they were saying.

5/5 - Yup, this is THE Cure album.

This is like a 3.5, not quite a 4

So good!!

I don’t really have time to write a detailed review here, but I liked this album and would listen to it again. If half stars were a thing I think I’d give it 3.5, but since they aren’t and I’m feeling generous today I’ll round it up to 4.

Jess likes em, Ian meh. Splitting the difference.

I really liked the long and flowy instrumentation. Hadn't listened to an entire The Cure album prior to this; I expected it to be good and it was. Must be a precursor to shoegaze, right?

Epically sad

7/10. It has good bits but it's overlong and wears me down.

loved it

Just such a good album. It's clearly one of the top albums for the band, as well as one that defines a particular moment and genre of music. People who love the Cure mostly love Disintegration, but it's also the sort of album that someone who doesn't really like the band and who doesn't listen to any of their other music might still have in their collection and love. It's also pretty perfect as a complete album, the songs are great but the flow and feeling of the whole thing is also clearly carefully considered.

Beautifully gloomy, atmospheric and grand. An intimately claustrophobic but seductive album that rewards repeated listening. It's main drawback (if it has one) is that it feels a tad too long, but this doesn't majorly detract from what's a pretty outstanding record overall.

Hallucinogenic melodies - who hurt you?

Great! Reminds me of college.

gaaah glödme :S 2a va?

This is my favorite album from the Cure. Go ahead. Put on some headphones (this is a headphones kind of album), sit in a dark room and just listen. The album is filled overlapping waves of sound that can fill a room. The album is dark, but comfortable. Favorite tracks include "Lullaby", "Fascination Street", "Pictures of You", "Plainsong", and "Disintigration". I will listen to this one again, and I might make someone listen with me. 5 stars

Única música boa foi Lovesong

Surprisingly did not hate

lovely and melancholy.

Favourite Song: Pictures Of You

So atmospheric, that guitar effect which they so heavily use is like an electric harp from heaven.

Chill cui sleep zzz

pretty good for chillaxing but not hype or replayable in any way

Big fan of the overall sound/feel. Can imagine Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character in (500) Days of Summer listening to this a lot.

The height of the sad boi sound. The songs on this album really use the many synths and make such beautiful textures and is really just well crafted songs all around. No I ripping guitar, but beautiful simple guitar lines to add to the texture of the songs. Love to hear this one.

Don't like The Cure - just sounds sludgy, a bit like his eyeliner

It was ok. Not my favorite

Meh.

Good stuff here… enjoyed their talents

Haven't listened to The Cure in ages. Good to hear then again. Clever lyrics.

Alllll time

Esse album salvou a minha vida 3 vezes. Estava quase indo me matar e dai a musica acabava.

Bleak, sombre... the list of near synonyms could go on. Almost no change of pace throughout the album. Perfect for the right mood and/or setting.

Second best album of all time

One of the best albums ever.

This is a dark album and lightyears away from being formulaic. I didn't have a chance to really listen to the lyrics but the tone of the music says in no uncertain terms that if you're looking for uplifting you got off at the wrong stop. I'm guessing which songs were the singles based on the Spotify stats on number of listens. Unlike their earlier singles, none of these will inadvertently make you smile. That part of it sits well with me. I like hits as much as the next guy (more accurately, say, half as much as the next guy) but also appreciate talented musicians choosing to make music without regard for how well the singles will do. Remember that I'm the one who liked the Butthole Surfers.

Goddamn beautiful. Deserves every bit of praise it gets. The production, the songwriting, the personality and everything that comes along with it. It flows so well from one song to the next, it feels like one giant, wonderful experience. And that is what albums should strive for: experiences. I've had a string of 3-star albums for a bit now so this will break the streak, and I couldn't be happier that it did.

Surprised that I liked it as much as I did.

Buen album

Awesome album when you're in mood for that certain sound.

Classic Cure. Really enjoyed it.......3* or 4* ?

I have heard the Cure but really listened this time to lyrics and music and was very impressed. Lots of favorites on this album; Homesick, Love Song were fun but a knew favorite was Lullaby but should have named Spider-Man! Very catchy and smooth. Great job and hats off it A best hit “Friday I’m in Love Again.

Un chef d'oeuvre

Like the soundtrack to the most quintessentially 80’s movie ever. I love it.

02/15 - Yesterday I worked on adding wall coverings behind all process equipment that has a loose hose attachment, adding the Train B Buffer Prep Platform Room into the model and adding corner guards around the Train B area. I also tagged all the items listed above in the elevations. I thought this album was okay. I am quite peculiar about the voice behind the song and this was just not doing it for me, although I though there were some really awesome beats.

I prefer pop cure to goth cure

"Sometimes you make me feel Like I'm living at the edge of the world Like I'm living at the edge of the world It's just the way I smile, you said" (Plainsong) "You stifle me Infectious sense of Hopelessness and prayers for rain" (Prayers for rain) Madre mía, cuánto me gusta The Cure, qué vergüenza.

I like the Cure. I like this. Rides the middle ground between the two sides of the Band. Prefer it to the 'Pornography' album, also on this list. First half a 4, second half a 3.

Really liked it. It's a really high 3. Maybe a 3.9. Ah fine I'll give it a 4.

Kolejne spotkanie z The Cure, tym razem jest to osma studyjna plyta bandy, wiec prawie dekada przeskoku od ostatniego picka curowego, czyli seventeen seconds, jesli tamta plyta byla pierwszym krokiem w tworzeniu swojego brzmienia, to disintegration moze byc zwienczeniem tej drogi, na ktorej koncu dostajemy pana smitha, ktory kradnie spotlajt tej plyty, o wiele bardziej opartej na lirycznej stronie niz wczesniej sluchane siedemnascie sekund, chociaz i tak charakterystyczne czesto nawet 2-3 minutowe intra instrumentalowe pozostaja, to na tej plycie kawalki maja o wiele wiecej do powiedzenia, bo sama plyta liczy ponad 70 minut, no i nie ma traka krotszego niz 4 minuty, a znajda sie nawet 9 minutowce wsrod tych 12 numerow, wiec o wiele wieksze pole do popisu niz poprzeni material, jest to tez pierwszy album nagrywany z mysla wylacznie o cdkach, stad wlasnie tak nietypowa dlugosc materialu jak na jeden albumik, a nie podwojna plyte, charakterystycznym brzmieniem jest tutaj podwojny bass, ktory ma w sobie tragiczny wyraz w polaczeniu z mrocznymi kojacymi, depresyjnymi, cudacznymi tekstami, na wokalu smithowym, ktory zdecydowanie sie rozwinal na przestrzeni lat, gitarki nadal graja bardzo prosto, jedynie lickami, do tego dochodza klawisze prawdziwie grobowe, co daje w calosci prawdziwie pogrzebowy dzwiek, ktory swietnie pasuje do tytulu, ktory odnosi sie do rozpadu w grupie, bo jest to w wiekszosci material smithowy, ktory desperacko staral sie stworzyc cos po czym zostanie zapamietany, a nie tylko sprzedany, przed trzydziestymi urodzinami, wiec dochodzi tu motyw forsowania stworzenia swego magnum opus, nie jest to pierwszy taki wybuch tworczy w jego przypadku, bo ta plyta zajmuje drugie miejsce w trylogi pornografia, dezintegracja, krwawokwiaty, no i kolejny raz wypadaloby sprawdzic reszte, ale co do samej dezintegracji, to moze nic szokujaco nowego nie uslyszalem, ale i tak ocenie go wyzej niz poprzedni pik curowy, bo jednak jest o wiele bardziej spojny i czuc doszlifowanie stylu zaprezentowanego na sekundach, na plejaka wrzucam tytulowy song, lovesong, i pictures of you, do ktorego trzeba dodac nastepujacy po nim closedown, bo jak dla mnie musza one isc jako bundel

Un disco imprescindible

Moody. Lush production and not as sparse as our last offering, Seventeen Seconds, which you'd expect since there was almost a decade in between them. The songs are more layered and the two keyboard players are a plus. The "hits" and title track are a bit more driving but the gloom never goes away.

4

Obscure and overdramatic effort. Just that is a very good one.

Bueno... Todo el mundo entendido de la música dicen que son buenos. Para mi, tienen alguna canción chula, pero poco más

I don’t know what it is about this album but I love it. I was very put off by the length of the songs but they quickly became easy to listen to in the background as there are not a lot of words. When there is, it is haunting and exactly what I expected from the Cure from other songs and albums I’ve heard. After last weeks double disc of music, I saw 12 songs and thought this would be quick but many of them are 6-9 minutes long which rivals bands like Metallica. The standout for me was Lovesong but that’s because I’ve heard it before. I also really liked Pictures of You and Prayers for Rain but I’m going to listen to this one again and see if any others stand out. The album cover is perfect for this music. Very strange and almost Jared Leto Joker like in its presentation but it makes total sense as almost every song can be listened to while driving through the city on a rainy night looking for something that can’t be found.

I'm not sold on this album or the band's sound. Yea its tone goes out of its way to be the most over the top sad thing you could think of. Bleak, washed out guitar tones makes the whole thing feel like a gloomy rainy day in March or November. Fascination Street is actually my speed though. Growling bass fills a more harsh and aggressive soundscape. Yep this is teenage angst turned up to 11.

This is so good, the synth and guitar make this super moody.

Probably the greatest post-punk band ever. This album has so many great singles, Pictures of You, Lovesong, Fascination Street, Disintegration, but the other tracks are also really really strong. Standouts for me are the strings on Lullaby, the guitar hook and sad lament on Untitled, the Wall of sound on Plainsong, the Thunderous drums in Closedown and their classic gothy dark sound in Deep Water and Pray for rain. I'd give this album a 9/10 but on the 5 star scale its not quite "perfection" so I must sadly round it down to a 4.

Did not like it. Long, boring and drawn out instrumental intros on each song were a turn off. Probably won’t listen again.

"Lovesong" is on this and I had no idea this was the original compared to the cover by 311. "Pictures Of You" was great. Good album all around. 8/10.

full of absolute bangers. got me in my bag at times 💼 4.25 stars

Robert Smith is a great guitar player, so many cool guitar licks and synth parts to the album, but it’s too long, becomes boring, repetitive, and I don’t think life is as bad as this guy is selling it. Especially considering he was probably a rich rocker at the time of this album’s release. Not my type of rock overall.

I love the cure, but this album was just fine. Great melodies. I like the longer tracks allowing the band to just vibe and jam for a while. I miss the punchy drums and lyrics. Boys Don't Cry over Disintegration any day.

TLDR: This album is like watching golf for me. Kinda interesting, but will lull me to sleep. I liked this Cure album a lot more than Pornography but The Cure has this way of just lulling me to sleep. It’s slower, repetitive, and kinda ambient, and for whatever reason that just relaxes me and makes me want to sleep. I think there were some really good ideas on this album and I’m sure if I listened closer to the lyrics I’d be more invested in each song. Favorite Tracks: “Lovesong,” Fascination Street,” and “Prayers For Rain”

Having listened to now two albums by the cure, I think I can safely say that I’m not a huge fan

Pop/Rock gótico. Lento, sombrío.

Blech. This was bad for a Cure album.

Never heard from start to finish, it’s a great album

Starting the week with a classic! I can't remember if I've listened to this in full before, but I know I've seen it on many a list of great albums. Very quickly I could hear how influential this is--it sounds like a blueprint for so many alternative/emo/dreampop artists that followed (like Mazzy Star, M83, even Hatchie). Probably not the first of it's kind, but it feels seminal. Deep, spacious instrumentals, and Robert Smith sounds perfectly ethereal (though I didn't love his vocal performance on "Lullaby"). It's a long album, and the tracks are long, but I don't mind at all. It gives time for me to settle into these tunes. I liked a lot of songs on here, especially "Pictures of You." Man, that's a perfect, beautiful song. I really dug this album immediately, and I can see it growing on me even more. Definitely deserving of the classic status. Favorite tracks: Pictures of You, Lovesong, Fascination Street, The Same Deep Water As You. Album art: I recognize this one of course. I don't love it, but it's cool. Trippy if you will. Makes the album seem way older than it is. If that's Robert Smith in the picture, he looks like a creepy ghoul from Carnival of Souls. 4.5/5 (potentially a 5, and I hereby symbolically downgrade Rio and ArchAndroid to 4.5)

OK

Not my thing.

Masterpiece. Depressing. Goth. 10/10 1. Lullaby 2. Plainsong 3. Lovesong

A little bit too soft indie for me

The bangers are real bangers and the slow ones are really really boring.

Pretty slow but damn well made

Bit depressing, but very hypnotic

As I get older this genre has really grown on me. I still however do not love The Cure, there is something about the singers voice that just causes me to tune out. Great band however otherwise. This was not bad.

Iconic, but very slow paced at times

Admittedly, I actually listened to this album 2 days ago, so this is great timing! I love this album, I think it's one of the most melodically rich and textured new wave albums out there. The synths here are so full and heavy, they're layered perfectly with the guitars and drums that give each song a meaningful impact. Everything here sounds like it would work well in a film soundtrack. I feel like the way the vocals are layered into the songs was a precursor to shoegaze, the way they melt into the songs make them sound so dreamy. The lyrics match the melodic, pretty, romantic and emotional melodies. I guess part of the reason I can see these songs being in movies is that they're crafted as these kind of sentimental beautiful romantic stories. Overall I love the rawness, the layers upon layers of melodic components and overall great feelings this album inspires. I just want to end this review by saying 'Lovesong' is one of the greatest songs ever created.

One of my favorites

Sublime.

Only know of the popular tracks from this album, so it was great to listen to a full album from an 80's band. Lots of extended jam songs towards the end of the album, did not know the Cure had songs like that! Highlights: -Plainsong -Pictures of You -Lovesong -The Same Deep Water as You -Disentigration

Very atmospheric full sound. Some iconic songs.

One of my Favorite Albums

one of the best albums by the cure

Why do I suddenly feel like my black nail polish collection is lacking?

It's time for Disintegration by the Cure for my daily listen. I've not really gotten to deep into the Cure, besides them being a big part of the music landscape. When I say landscape, I mean the music I listen to along with friends and family. I should like them a lot more. They are definitely my kind of band. So far I'm enjoying this album and how epic and moody it seems. It's almost like I've heard the whole album by osmosis. In one way or another they have left a blueprint across a lot of the music I listen to. I enjoy how this album is breathing and stretches out and gives the songs time to expand. It's been a greatest hits album so far, every song I've run into on the radio or on a soundtrack. I've not listened to this album over and over again like many similar albums. It seems very familiar though, like it's so baked into our culture I've been exposed over the years.

dope musik för shüre

I like the music a lot, though his singing keeps it from being a top favorite.

Hey them on iPod

A welcomed surpise. I really enjoyed the album

It's ok

I like this album! The only song I recognize from it is "Lovesong," but I also enjoyed all of the ones I've never heard before. Nice, chill, a bit dark, but good background music to work to.

I do believe they refer to this as a fucking classic

Solid album with a distinct 80s vibe. The sound gets wandering/meandering toward the end of the album, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Not quite my style but a few enjoyable tracks and solid production.

Some truly legendary songs on this album, especially Pictures of You. There are also a few songs that are kind of duds for me. Not my favorite listen all the way through, but the highs are very high.

Fav Song: Lovesong

I love Lovesong so much. And Lullaby- so eerie and beautiful. Very into the rest of the album, too. Cool atmospheric 80s alt-rock.

80’s rhythmic alt pop at its finest, this album has some absolute stunners. It was a joy to listen to and just bop along with

Want to give a 4.5 but eff it. They'll get a 5. A few all time face songs and the non-faves are still nice to listen to. No duds. Someone please kiss robert smith.

eh, too whiney

A bit warbling and not my cup of tea

Odslusaj ponovo

Way to bring down the mood

Great album. Strong start and a lot of great songs throughout. Great vibes from exiting the 80s.

Not heard this which is a surprise to me. I love the cure but i wouldn't put this a the top of my go to list

Low key electronic without being annoying. Easy background music while working.

Enjoyed it far more than I thought I would.

The ULTIMATE painful "sunny day" break-up album. When you hate her/him/them, but it's the summer and other albums simply won't do.

Really fun listen. Peppy.

Good all around feel, mostly when looking to get taken over by music

Goth rock with hints of pop softness, and I love it to pieces. Important to me at 17, important to me now.

Not really my sound. There were a hits that I enjoyed listening to again. I wouldn't mind having this on in the background but probably won't actively seek out the opportunity to listen to the album from start to finish.

No patience for the Cure. Who cares.

I like the pop stuff but had to turn this off, too drab and moody

Decent album, found the melodics and the heavier instruments to be the missing thing from Britpop

I was never depressed enough as a teenager to get into The Cure.

Sad boy album. Listened to it in highschool and thought it was cool. Good sound still, but not too hot about it. Title song is the "popy-est". That one kinda misses it after a while too though.

Enjoyed: Lovesong Lullaby Fascination Street The Same Deep Water As You

Drive is a classic but this was a bit lackluster

Solid album, need to check out their other stuff.

This is the Sonic that made me stop listening to The Cure. Not a bad record, just something (the production maybe?) wears me out or something.

The cure sucks and this album did nothing to change my mind.

Super good. Very mellow rock with the stand out “Pictures Of You” Very long last couple of songs.

It's Friday, im in Cure.

Wonderful album. Rob Smith is a genius.

Introspektivt, gothisk, rock, svævende

A welcome relisten. Big sound like The Cult guitars, PS2-ass, 90’s tone.

Seems repetitive at times but there are some great tunes on here

amazing

Have listened to this tons already during high school! Love this record. :)

1989. Key Songs: Lullaby, Lovesong, Pictures of You

Ganska jättetråkig.

2.5/5. Found it kind of boring, not necessarily bad or worse than other albums I've rated higher, but just not very compelling music for the most part personally. Standout Tracks: Lovesong, Prayers for Rain, Disintegration

More ethereal and dreamy than I was expecting. Very 80's but in a good way!

The only Cure album I dig as much as Standing on a Beach

Love this album. One of my first CDs and listened over and over.
