    Cursive: The Ugly Organ

    Year: 2003 Genre: Progressive Experimental Indie Rock Label: Saddle Creek TRT: 40:10 The first time I heard this album in 2002, it was heralded to to me as "the future of music". I was as you might expect, dubious of such lofty claims. I was lent a promo copy and told to return it the...
