Got the new CD in the mail yesterday, playing for the first time now. So far I'm liking that it's not as much of an aural assault as Happy Hollow. That album never let up, made my ears bleed. Plus it was 5 or so minutes longer than their other albums, and felt like 15.

I wish they weren't touring with Man Man because Man Man is way better but Cursive is more popular.

I am impressed after my first listen of Mama, I'm Swollen.

Much more varied than Happy Hollow.

I bought Mama, I'm Swollen and I am now an avid fan!

but where do I go next from Mama?

Get The Ugly Organ, it's much better than anything else they've done. Domestica too.

The Ugly Organ is a masterpiece in my eyes. While some tracks are definitely stronger than others, it works well as an album that lulls and crescendos with definite purpose. "Driftwood: A Fairy Tale" and "The Recluse" are amazing.

Unfortunately I can't get into other Cursive, save for a few random tracks. I bought Domestica after The Ugly Organ and was really disappointed. I think it's Kasher style of singing - the abrasiveness can work really well (like in "A Gentleman Caller") but other times it becomes....not musical to me. And I really can't stomach their live videos, the vocals are scary bad.

The Ugly Organ is in my top twenty though.

The Ugly Organ and Domestica are definitely their best, IMO. The early stuff, oh man...the vocals are just terrible for the most part. Totally cringe-worthy.

Regarding the new album...I enjoyed it on first listen (post above), but then my second listen wasn't as enjoyable (possibly due to inferior headphones) and I haven't had the urge to go back to it since...other stuff keeps taking priority. How does everyone feel about it?
