Is Lovesong from Disintegration?

Yes. Lovesong appears on Disintegration and became one of The Cure’s best-known singles. Its direct romantic lyric stands out against the album’s wider mood of loss, memory, and melancholy.

How does Disintegration compare with Pornography or Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me?

Pornography is harsher and more claustrophobic, while Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me is broader and more eclectic. Disintegration sits between them as a focused, lush, and emotionally heavy late-1980s statement.
