About this deal
Disintegration has been included in numerous "best of" lists. In 2000 it was voted number 94 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums. [46] Rolling Stone placed the record at number 326 on its 2003 list of the " 500 Greatest Albums of All Time", [47] maintaining the ranking in the 2012 update, [48] and raising it to number 116 in the 2020 reboot of the list. [49] The magazine's German counterpart placed Disintegration at number 184 on the same list. [50] The album was considered to be the best album of 1989 by Melody Maker, [51] 17th on Q magazine's "40 Best Albums of the '80s", [52] and 38th on Pitchfork 's "Best Albums of the 80s". [45] The album placed at number 14 in Entertainment Weekly's "New Classics: The 100 Best Albums from 1983 to 2008." [53] In 2012, Slant Magazine listed the album at number 15 on its list of "Best Albums of the 1980s". [54] In a 2001 article in Rolling Stone, readers selected Disintegration as number 9 in the "10 Best Albums of the Eighties". [55] The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. [56] Paste named the album at tenth in their list "The 50 Best New Wave Albums." [8] Not the best pressing of anything. The pressing itself is alright but the mastering leaves to be desired. Undefined soundstage mainly focussed on vocals. Edgy guitars. Murky synths.
