Expanding The Latent Arena Rock Sensibilities That Peppered Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me By Slowing
Them Down And Stretching Them To The Breaking Point, The Cure Reached The Peak Of Their Popularity With
The Crawling, Darkly Seductive Disintegration. It's A Hypnotic, Mesmerizing Record, Comprised Almost
Entirely Of Epics Like The Soaring, Icy "Pictures Of You." The Handful Of Pop Songs, Like The Concise
And Utterly Charming "Love Song," Don't Alleviate The Doom-laden Atmosphere. The Cure's Gloomy Soundscapes
Have Rarely Sounded So Alluring, However, And The Songs — From The Pulsating, Ominous "Fascination Street"
To The Eerie, String-laced "Lullaby" — Have Rarely Been So Well-constructed And Memorable. It's Fitting That
Disintegration Was Their Commercial Breakthrough, Since, In Many Ways, The Album Is The Culmination Of All The
Musical Directions The Cure Were Pursuing Over The Course Of The '80s.
