#116 The Cure, 'Disintegration' (1989)

The Cure had spent most of the ‘80s enjoying massive success. They had progressively lost their Goth Rock edge and moved more towards a Pop sound. Vocalist and bad leader, Robert Smith, had become disenfranchised with the band’s sound. His impending 30th birthday also contributed to his depression as he felt that he hadn’t recorded his greatest work yet. To cope with his depression he started regularly taking LSD and ultimately moved back towards the Goth Rock sound his band had become known for.
