The Cure evolved into one of the most visionary, creatively satisfying and influential groups to come of age in the 1980s. From dreamy pop to moody expressionism, their signature sound is adventurous, hypnotic, and melodic. Dark and dreamy, Disintegration surely represents one of the Cure's finest hours, retaining the darkest elements of the earlier albums but hinting at the band's future sound.
Due to the extended running time of the album, "Last Dance" and "Homesick" were not included on the original vinyl issue of the album from 1989. The complete 12 song album is now available on double vinyl for the first time with remastered audio from Original Master Tapes. Not only featuring the complete album but also the best sound ever with clarity and dynamics not previously available on any release.

Dark, dreamlike and magical, Disintegration surely represents one of the Cure's finest hours. Although retaining the darkest elements of the earlier albums, it pointed the way towards the band's later, more commercial work on Wish. The intoxicating music draws the listener inexorably downwards, but somehow one remains buoyant - rarely since this album has Robert Smith surpassed the beauty and yearning of "Pictures Of You," or the poignant pop of "Love Song." The nightmarish "Lullaby," however, increases the pressure, and by the final tracks, all hope quite literally disintegrates. A unique and emotionally raw album, Disintegration evokes the sensation of inevitable, but desirable, death by drowning.
Originally released in 1989, Disintegration is the band's highest selling record to date thanks to the hit singles "Lovesong," "Pictures Of You," and "Lullaby." Now, you can re-experience the groundbreaking band’s masterpiece, remastered to sound better than ever! Also includes complete lyrics and previously unreleased photos. Be prepared to get lost in a sea of sound and emotion.
