Nothing like it exists.
Disintegration is unique.
Disintegration is a near perfect album for me but I like it just a tiny bit less every time I listen to it unless I drastically space out my listenings. All my other favorite albums I've listened to tens or hundreds of times, but I only re-listen to Disintegration once every 1.5 years or so
I try to not listen to it too much for fear I will grow tired of it someday. I’m weird like that. It’s so perfect to me,
Wow...was writing my reply when you posted.
>deletes Lovesong
Now it's a perfect album
>Deletes Pictures of You, Fascination Street, Prayers for Rain and Disintegration
Now it's actually listenable.
Go listen to slint, fuckface.
>Untitled starts playing
>doesn't delete anything
Ahhh, perfect
>deletes lol
ahhhhh perfect
Honestly it's one of a kind
Maybe a bit of a stretch but I suppose you could do with Cocteau Twins' Heaven or Las Vegas, it gives me somewhat similar melancholy vibes but it's not something I could say for the whole album, also it's a lot more upbeat than Disintegration
You could also try Katatonia's Brave Murder Day and Discouraged Ones, the first one is kinda The Cure but if they played Doom Metal, the second one is more of a gothic+alternative rock mix, in both cases the musical quality is not really up to par with Disintegration but they are both albums I love to bits nonetheless. If you don't like growls steer clear of Brave Murder Day.

Ah, yes. The best album of the entire post-punk genre by a thousand miles distance.
Cocteau Twins is a good rec. It's that Fender Bass VI sound really.
Impossible to match.
Obviously Bloodflowers was pretty decent and Pornography as well but they’re also both different.
I sort of turn to similair albums
>Bad Astronaut: Houston We Have a Drinking Problem
It’s a alt rock album but about preventing a friends suicide. Of course he committed suicide a few years later
Moz: Vauxhall and I
10/10 masterpiece. Not the same dark vibe but melancholic and sad all the same
>No Doubt: Return of Saturn
Gwen Stefani’s best. It’s about hitting the wall and not being married. Pretty dark. Everyone hated it because it wasn’t pop but it’s actually really dark and really good
Angels and Airwaves: We don’t need to Whisper
Tom delonge (ayy lmao guy) left blink and joined the free masons and put out this album as his trial to improve the world part of admission thing. It’s got a great sound thanks to the sound engineer ‘critter’. He died though so skip the rest of the discography. Anyway this album is good but ultimately it attempts to be ‘happy’. Very goood synth full sound excellent drums. Really good ‘space’ vibe.
Steven Wilson: insurgentes is literally him ripping off the cure. Raven that refused to sing and Hand Cannot erase are worth a soin as well. HCE is really good, worth reading tup on as well. Dark.
Really disintegration is just one of the GOATs. The ones I listed are as close as I’ve gotten but are pretty darn good and have depth and sound in the same vein. Almost all of them are concepted around a theme like Disintigrstion as well.
its not like its a weird sounding album or anything but i can't think of literally any album that sounds like it, what the fuck?
It’s not too often a label will green light dark sad shit or anyone would write it for a year.
You have the 2000s ‘depressed’ music but that’s all LARPing. I’m talking Hawthorne heights and that shit. Otherwise you have to go into post punk (post-post punk tho) or just prog really.
Yeah I'm thinking this is based.
uh the chameleons are pretty dreamy but way darker in terms of lyrics.
Incredibly based and reptilepilled
I've always felt a cure influence on the frogs. It's the same spirit but directed towards comedy. Idk
They stopped being post-punk long before Dsintegration was released, retard.
Disintegration was a bit of a conscious return to that style. It very much feels like an evolution of Faith's sound more than anything else they've done, maybe with a bit of what they picked up on the 2 albums prior sprinkled in for good measure but by and large it mostly resembles Faith.
Katatonia is a metal band but they're self-admitted Cure fanboys, so much so that they basically can be considered "Cure for metalheads" in a way. I think these influences came to a head on The Great Cold Distance and Night Is The New Day, the former dabbling in themes of isolation not unlike Disintegration and the latter taking a cue from that album's lush atmosphere

Crystal Castles are unironically just a harsh electronic take on The Cure.
also Beach House's 7

Robert has said that the song is about Lol, but I'm not sure how serious he was when he said that. Nowadays they are in good terms.
