The Cure - Disintegration

Available for 28 days

By 1989, Robert Smith had had enough. His relationship to the band he'd formed in 1976 had fluctuated over the course of the 80s, as he fell in and out of love with what he was doing. As he faced the prospect of turning 30, he looked at the band, and himself, and felt something had to change. His relationship to fellow co-founder of the band Lol Tolhurst had deteriorated to worrying levels, and Smith retreated into himself for what would become his darkest set of songs yet. He didn't know it yet, but what would become known as Disintegration would be universally regarded as his masterpiece.
