Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Disintegration is the eighth studio album by The Cure, released in 1989.The title was aptly chosen as longtime member Lol Tolhurst was thrown out of the band because of his alcoholism problem, and because the others felt he was becoming an albatross around their neck. After a verbal fight he left, and actually had very little to do with the recording of Disintegration, yet he was still credited in the liner notes. Robert Smith himself also suffered from depression over their commercial success with more accessible songs over the previous two albums and the fact that he, at age 29, still hadn't made a record that could be considered their masterpiece. So they returned to their roots, and made a gloomy album in the Goth Rock style they originated in. Still it remained a Troubled Production with producers fearing that it would flop, Robert Smith deciding not to talk to any of the other band members for a prolonged period, and a house fire almost stopping the record from ever being completed.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Despite all odds it was a massive success. "Lullaby," "Fascination Street," "Pictures of You," and "Lovesong" became big international hits. | |

Lesser Star | |
| Disintegration (Music) / int_1ae12b1d | comment |
Lesser Star: Literally. Lol Tolhurst's alcohol abuse reached a peak during the recording sessions, and despite being credited for "other instruments," the band said he played absolutely nothing on the album, preferring to sit around, get drunk and watch MTV while the rest of the band bullied him (except Smith, who said his behaviour was like "some kind of handicapped child being constantly poked with a stick"). He was fired after a shouting match over arriving excessively drunk to the album's mixing. | |

Epic Instrumental Opener | |
| Disintegration (Music) / int_6f2fe973 | comment |
Epic Instrumental Opener: "Fascination Street" opens with an instrumental section that runs over two minutes. Pretty much almost every song is this, the most extreme case being "Homesick", where vocals don't start until 3:15 mark. The only two songs that manage to avert this are "Lovesong", where vocals start in less than half a minute and "Lullaby", which has a whispered part early into the start (not counting that, the actual vocals start at a minute mark, which is still earlier than other songs.) | |

Real Life Writes the Plot | |
| Disintegration (Music) / int_786bf97f | comment |
Real Life Writes the Plot: "Pictures of You" was inspired by a house fire in Robert Smith's home. When he went through the remains he discovered that his wallet, with pictures of his wife, had survived the fire. He used the pictures as the cover of the single for "Pictures of You." | |

Eaten Alive | |
| Disintegration (Music) / int_abcb9af1 | comment |
Eaten Alive: "Lullaby", both the lyrics and the accompanying video. Hardly surprising, considering that the song was inspired by Robert Smith's father telling him creepy bedtime stories, leading to him having a recurring nightmare about being eaten alive by a giant spider. | |

Re-Cut | |
| Disintegration (Music) / int_c3ae004a | comment |
Re-Cut: Original LP copies of the album omitted "Last Dance" and "Homesick" due to space constraints, likely because the previous album was already a double album on vinyl. This was in keeping with the industry trend at the time of focusing on cassette and CD releases. | |
