In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave Disintegration four-and-a-half out of five stars, and applauded the band by saying, "The Cure's gloomy soundscapes have rarely sounded so alluring [and] the songs– from the pulsating, ominous 'Fascination Street' to the eerie, string-laced 'Lullaby'– have rarely been so well-constructed and memorable." [9] Erlewine went on to praise Disintegration for being "darkly seductive", and "a hypnotic, mesmerizing record". [9] Pitchfork praised the record, admitting " Disintegration stands unquestionably as Robert Smith's magnum opus." [45] Writer Chris Ott noted that "scant few albums released in the 1980s can boast an opener as grand as 'Plainsong', the most breathtaking, shimmering anthem the band ever recorded."

And yet there they were. You could say—again, from an American perspective—that it started with two things. There was Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, a 1987 double album that scatters in a lot of different directions. This is something the band always did well: listening to their “many moods” pop records is like exploring a new city, where every storefront and side street offers something unique. The same went for Standing on a Beach / Staring at the Sea, a collection of singles stretching from 1978 to 1985, that was critical to introducing this band to North Americans. Raggett, Ned.

In the South Park episode " Mecha-Streisand", Kyle Broflovski called it "the best album ever"; the show's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, are fans of the Cure, and had got Smith to voice himself in this episode. [57] The album plays a role in the climax of the 2015 Marvel film Ant-Man, as "Plainsong" plays when an iPhone's Siri mishears the villain, Corey Stoll's Darren Cross, saying "I'm going to disintegrate you"; director Peyton Reed said that "It's such an epic song that it transcended the joke", and that Disintegration was the second album he ever bought.

I generally think first pressings are best, unless there is a determined effort to maintain quality with subsequent pressings (also having the idea the plates can wear out,). Vinyl production is temperamental and demands a sustained effort if high quality is wanted. The point with first pressings and some remasters, is the deliberate effort to acheive a high quality sound production, boosted with the finance from knowing there will be a market at a certain time. With first pressings there is a need to ensure high quality sound when a new product hits the market (!) + the actual band members might be there to advise on what the sound should sound like. [To keep it simple, I'm ignoring the vagaries of temporal fashions in what sound should sound like such as recordings generally being louder now, certain lab preferences . . .].
