Title: Slippery Slope...
Product review: The Cure provided the soundtrack to my adolescence, so I might seem too biased, too much of a purist to provide an evenhanded review. Could be. However, when Disintegration came out in my sophomore year of High School, I was itching to get my hands on whatever the band would put out next. Surprise, surprise: turned out to be complete and utter tripe! Even worse, this album was a harbinger of things to come; the subsequent albums Wish and Wild Mood Swings showed that R. Smith was creatively bankrupt. It's a rock 'n roll cliche that bands never know when to quit, and it sure holds true in this case. The Cure had an incredibly rich and glorious career, but I guess the drinking and cocaine finally took their toll on Smithy's brain...
