Disintegration is getting a lot of attention 30 years on. It was the Cure's eight studio album, and, after a string of catchy psychedelic pop records, marked a return to their previous dark gothic tone.
It's also the album that introduced me to the Cure. Is it any wonder I immediately became a fan for life?
Disintegration remains the band's biggest selling album to date. Released in 1989, as Robert Smith was approaching 30, its dominant themes are aging, the end of an era, and regret over lost time.

"Lovesong," the album's biggest hit, was written as a wedding gift for Robert's then new wife, Mary, because he didn't know what to get her.
Graymads' reading of the song lyrics throughout this video is a tad unnecessary and annoying. Everyone watching the video knows the album. All you have to do is mention a song's title, and we all know what you're talking about. Other than that, it's a good analysis of the record.
