Disintegration [Elektra, 1989]
With the transmutation of junk a species of junk itself, an evasion available to any charlatan or nincompoop, it's tempting to ignore this patent arena move altogether. But by pumping his bad faith and bad relationship into depressing moderato play-loud keyb anthems far more tedious than his endless vamps, Robert Smith does actually confront a life contradiction. Not the splintered relationship, needless to say, although the title tune is a suitably grotesque breakup song among unsuitably grotesque breakup songs. As with so many stars, even "private" ones who make a big deal of their "integrity," Smith's demon lover is his audience, now somehow swollen well beyond his ability to comprehend, much less control. Hence the huge scale of these gothic cliches. And watch out, you mass, 'cause if you don't accept this propitiation he just may start contemplating suicide again. Or take his money and go home. C+

okay but it's still a 10/10

I could probably listen to Lullaby 500 billion fucking times and it would be just as beautiful as the first listen, it's truly timeless.
Maybe a pleb opinion but who cares, it's how i feel about it.

(Probably the only problem with it is that these days hearing "spider man" kinda takes you out of the mood due to cultural differences)

Who cares about that boring hipster oldfuck, i always laugh with /mu/ hardcore fags forcing this album to be bad with the most far-fetched arguments of all human history.
