Cursive
The Ugly Organ (organ Splatter)
From the maniacal opening notes and carnival barker howlthat launch the album, The Ugly Organ wasted no timesearing
itself into a listener's ears and quickly establishedCursive as a musical force with which to be reckoned. A self-aware
examination of artistic constraints (or lack thereof),relationships, sex, and the intersection of all three, The
UglyOrgan wowed critics and audiences alike with it's cerebral,cathartic blend of songs.Fiercely intelligent and
cohesive - the liner notes laid thesongs out like a play, complete with stage directions - acrossit's diverse sonic
landscape, the album landed Cursive on theSunday Arts & Leisure section cover of The New York Times(which also called it
"a marvelous collection of riddles andleft turns, conceived as a single piece of musical theater")and earned accolades
from Rolling Stone ("a brilliant leapforward"), Entertainment Weekly, Billboard, Alternative Press,MAGNET ("The best
punk record you'll hear all year"),Esquire, and SPIN, among many others, as well as a placeon numerous year-end best
lists.The Ugly Organ feels as vibrant and vital today as it didupon release more than 20 years ago. A landmark album,it
not only catapulted Cursive from the simmering indieunderground to the forefront of a genre, but also served toinspire a
host of young bands in it's wake.
