Disintegration album Product Description
The 2010 Deluxe Edition of the Cure's 1989 masterwork Disintegration offers a plethora of riches as it is expanded by not just one but two CDs for a whopping total of 32 tracks. Dig into the details and the deluxe Disintegration winds up seeming a little underwhelming. All the non-live B-sides -- a grand total of four ("Babble," "Out of Mind," "2 Late," "Fear of Ghosts") -- wound up on the 2004 rarities clearinghouse Join the Dots, so they're not recycled here. Instead, all the live tracks that were used as B-sides in various territories for the album's four singles are here, presented as the live album Entreat, which itself was released in 1991 as an easy roundup of these cuts. As an enticement for collectors, this live album is augmented by four previously unreleased cuts, so it is now an in-concert replica of Disintegration, something that is perfectly fine but doesn't stray much from the original blueprint. The rarities disc contains the first sketches of those blueprints and they're pretty rough indeed: instrumental home demos, band rehearsals, rough cuts with guide vocals, the kind of stuff that is archivally interesting. ...See Full Description

| A must have A must have for all Cure fans. By Russka26 (Oklahoma)  This review is for a different format. |
| The return of a classic Disintegration has always been one of Curefans' top favourite Cure albums and that's for a reason: the elegance, the anguish, the power, the melancholy that are associated with The Cure's sound and looks achieved one of its peaks with this album. And the deluxe edition is a must have for anyone with a passion for Robert Smith's music. By Leonardo (Mexico City, MX)  This review is for a different format. |
| Absolutely breathtaking This was my first Cure album, and got me hooked right from the beginning of Plainsong. Every song is beautiful in its own dark way and once you start listening to it youll do so over and over. An essential for anyone. By Nate (Reading, PA) This review is for a different format. |
| As good The Cure as you can get... There's nothing better in those guys career than this album. Just you go and get a Vynil printed copy and you'll have something unique... but, even in CD is OK ;-) By javierart (Asturies, Spain) This review is for a different format. |
| Robert Smith is a genius "Disintigration" isn't an album you and your phat beat pundin buddies are going to play as you cruise the barrio in your pimped out Volkswagon. This album is a beautiful masterpeice, and couldn't start better than "Plainsong," which evokes images of a gray landscape and freezing rain and moves on to excellent peices like Lullaby. Seriously, if you're feeling depressed and optimistic at the same time, this album is for you. Excellent guitars, excellent synths, excellent lyrics. The boys from South Park agree: Robert Smith rocks. By redskinStu (Alberta, Canada) This review is for a different format. |
