Wracked with doubt, contradiction and existential despair, Mama, I'm Swollen strikes out as a weighty, superbly realised endeavour which, for all its oppressive nature, is as eminently listenable and brave an album as any the band have produced.
-
Cursive haven't sounded this crazed and inspired since their breakthrough album, 2003's "The Ugly Organ."
-
30The emo-punk angst is cut with little of the band's trademark wit or ingenuity: Most of the songs plod bloodlessly to an inevitable, pointless climax of noise, sour humor, and teen nihilism.
