Today's review is
Cursive's
Domestica (Indie Rock, Post-Hardcore
Emo, Post-Hardcore)
This is the third album on the list of the Emo stuff for the rock album survivor. This band is also on Saddle Creek Records. Which is a major (I think they're major) record label out of my home town. I've never listened to anything from them so this should be interesting.
The Casualty: Fu
ck this intro is epic! Wow! This song is so much better than anything on those two other records. God, this "yell" is raw and awesome.
The Martyr: Epic transition. Amazing music. This song gets better as it goes on.
Shallow Means, Deep Ends: Electronica intro, not as cool as the other two. But the guitar is coming into it and it's right back to the epic music. And it never relents.
Making Friends and Acquaintances: This track is a bit lighter. Lots of awesome bass here. Gets heavier as the song goes along.
A Red So Deep: Awesome intro. I hear some country twang in the guitar. And its gone. God, this music has been so epic. I love it. They deconstruct the entire song and then throw it all right back at you, so we'll done.
The Lament of Pretty Baby: Hi-hat and some angry guitar. It keeps building into something increasingly better.
The Game of Who Needs Who the Worst: Lovely intro. This music is written so it all comes together so nicely.
The Radiator Hums: Awesome song
The Night I Lost the Will to Fight: Some awesome guitar work, again. This guitarist is really good.
Final thoughts: This album shocked me. I was expecting something with a decent music, but not something this good. This was a very pleasant surprise.
Favorite track: The Lament of Pretty Baby
