The Cure:
Disintegration
(1989)

This is one of the most depressing albums I own. The songs are very dark and the arrangements are very heavy and synth oriented. All in all not an album to listen to if you're suicidal...On the other hand, the album is packed with atmosphere and a great feel to all the songs. I have mentioned before that I'm a sucker for melancholy and sentimental music, and this album has it all to overdose on. Being such an intense affair, though, I have to be in a certain mood to really enjoy the album and use its full potential. But given the right mood etc., "Disintegration" just has fantastic musical passages with "The Same Deep Water As You" as a more than nine minute long proof of this. Overall, all these things taken into consideration, this is probably my favourite Cure album.

Overall Rating (on a scale from 1 to 10):9
