The Cure had pigeon-holed themselves as a dark and brooding goth-rock band in the early 80's with albums such as Faith and Pornography. They broke away from this image with the albums Head on the Door and Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me. In 1989, Robert Smith and company returned to feelings of angst, depression, and regret to record the album Disintegration.

This album has been considered a masterpiece by music critics and is a staple of any Cure fan's collection. It saw a return to the dark and brooding imagery of former days, except the band was able to employ pop hooks and lush well-produced orchestration. Some consider this the best album The Cure have ever, and will ever, produce.
