Disintegration

I recently met a girl who was a HUGE Cure fan yet she never heard of Disintegration.  How could you be a Cure fan and not know Disintegration?  This is like being a vegetarian but never eating vegetables.  Disintegration is Robert Smith’s masterpiece and one of the greatest CDs of all time.  Definitely my desert island CD for those dreary days.
