I finally got to listen to it - and deary deary me. Fucking rad! A lot more upbeat than the other stuff of theirs I've heard, but they pulled it off. I wouldn't have expected them to have been able to do that.
Horns a-go-go alright, but I dig it.
Will have to give it a couple more listens to be able to say much more about it. But first impression -
![]()

yep.. it's not bad. Some tracks grate on me, but maybe they just need more listens, the first two get better and better with every listen.. That flamenco styled guitar on track one is rad.
fucking ay. cursive are the shit. well, so is anything on saddle creek...
hopefully they tour this rekkid
i will reiterate my appreciation for the crazy horns in this new thread. it definitely is a grower and all the different things going on in the album make more sense after a while
yeah, a couple of things grate me as well. mainly his lyrics. he has some really bloody corny lyrics. but most of it i'm loving.
standouts for me so far..
opening the hynal babies
dorothy at forty
bad sects
the sunks
into the fold
We're playing with these guys in a few weeks time.
Can't wait to hear Happy Hollow.... Ugly Organ and Domestica are deadly albums.
It's leaked!? I need to hear this.
argh! where are you playing with them?!
cursive are weird for me, i always like them at first (each album i hear) but then after maybe 2 more listens i hate it.
Coldspoon are Irish, so I'd say Ireland.
good on coldspoon for getting support though! good dudes!
BEST. BAND. EVER.
Well, one of my favs, at least.
yay! how exciting!
I really didn't like it when I first heard it. After about 10 listens I'm liking it a lot more. I fucking hate the horns, to be 100% honest. But I hated the cello on the last record. So much of that stuff just sounds to me like fixing problems by chucking something else in there. I understand they've got to try new things to keep it moving forward but...yeah, I don't know if a horn section is the answer.
I like Bad Sects and Big Bang and the last song.
I really hope they tour. I've seen them once, while overseas (for Domestica) and they were great.
listening to it now... not really sure about it.

not a bad album.
looks like a little bit of woodwind has snuck into it in place of the strings and brass from the previous 2 albums.
I haven't felt any desire to listen to Cursive for about 4 years but am really enjoying maybe half of the new album. I feel like an angsty 17 year old again, it's great!
this album rules.
I Am Gemini out February 21.
I know I said it with MIS but if they don't come now, they never will.
I'll be in the states just after that. Hope I bump into them on the promo trail.
Seen them before gabbo?
nope. damn keen to.
Hope for your sake you do. I was lucky enough to see them in Atlanta after Mama came out and it was magical.
I saw them in NY and they were awesome.
Did they The Great Decay and The Casualty? They did when I did I saw them :)
Yep..and a quite a few off domestica as well.
crap.
their extensive tour for ''I am Gemini'' misses my tour schedule by 3 weeks. AND they are touring with Cymbals Eat Guitars.
ugh.
New album leaked!

Ooh baby!
Oh man, i didn't even know they had a new one coming out.
This has been a good year so far. First The Jealous Sound and now Cursive.
After 8 listens to this album... awesome!
i've given it 3. no real 'good' standout songs for me yet.
i'll keep plugging away.
I'm loving the Double Dead, Gemini double.
It's a grower but I'm definitely digging
Reissuing Burst & Bloom for RSD. So now that's two of my favourite EPs being rereleased on the same day. Splendid.
