Fifty-word review

Mama, I'm Swollen

Borrow It

Indeed, art is hard—unless you've already etched a niche for yourself that everyone respects. This album is good, sure, but there's nothing new. Kasher is still utterly self-loathing, enjoying only sex, and throwing musically talented tantrums. If you're new or old to Cursive, play The Ugly Organ instead.
