Jan 2, 2012The Ugly Organ is dark, intense, and original. The reflective lyrics are deep and relatable. The songs: The Recluse and Driftwood are brilliant and some of my favorites of all time. The last song 'Staying Alive' reaches an emotion peak that will only be understood by people whom have been in a dark places in their lives. Highly recommended to those who like self reflection in music.

AndyAug 16, 2006Tim Kasher writes the most thought-provoking and personal lyrics you'll ever here. One of the most original albums of the past decade, period.

GlennMAug 21, 2005Just awsome. All of it is a brilliant listen and songs like recluse and driftwood have awsome beats. Sleight of Hand is one of the best songs Ive ever heard for its intensity.

BenDJul 1, 2005The addition of the cello makes The Ugly Organ an undeniably exciting and unique album. While there are a couple of ugly tracks, the album remains superior throughout the rest of it. This is Cursive's best work to date

KarlenaJan 14, 2005The first time I listened to this, the thing that struck me the most was the way Tim Kasher yelped, "Sierra!" I rewound it and listened to it over and over. This album is beautiful and amazing.

Kasher's jagged, jarring song cycle suggests an unholy fusion of the Cure's Robert Smith and Sebadoh's Lou Barlow.

A brilliant leap forward.

Unfortunately, the album is too top-heavy to be seaworthy, the back end full of Fugazi knockoffs and half a song stretched out to ten minutes in a forced attempt at a showstopping finale.
