Music reviews of Disintegration
Music Review: Landmark masterpiece
Rating: 5 Stars
It's hard to say anything more that hasn't already been said about this amazing piece of art.
"Pictures of You" to me is one of the best songs ever created. Everything about the song is transcendent, from the dark and elegant melody underneath to the words to the culmination. I have listened to this song countless times, sometimes over and over and every time it never loses its brilliance.
This alone would make this album a singular work.
But it also has two other masterpieces as well, one is the song right after Pictures of You called "Closedown". It's in the perfect sequence and complement to the majesty of Pictures of You.
Then near the end of the album comes "The Same Deep Water as You". This masterwork cements this album as an astonishing one.
I have listened to and appreciated all kinds of music, from pure ambient (my current taste) to new age to rock to classical and I can say this album will stand the test of time.
Description of Disintegration
Disintegration is a pop album realized on an epic scale. Most of its 12 songs are long mood pieces that develop slowly around the listener. Anchored by complex drum patterns, the layered guitars, soaring bass lines, and rich keyboards blend to create a lush, evocative soundscape that captures the ear immediately; and for all its length, the album is never boring. The lyrical focus is intensely personal throughout, and, with the exception of "Love Song," the mood is overwhelmingly dark and brooding. Here are songs of remembrance that, through their deep candor, transcend the individual level to explore universal longings and fears. Robert Smith, his vocals plaintive or angry or despairing, unfolds a tapestry of loss. Broken bonds, old lies, missed opportunities, belated realizations. Anyone who has experienced the joy and sorrow--especially the sorrow--of love will find his or her deepest sentiments, noble and petty alike, echoed poetically here. --Al MassaGeneral CDs
