Cursive - Burst and Bloom

I'll try to make this perfectly clear,I'm so transparent I disappear.These words I lyrically defecate,Upon songs I boldly claim to create.

This EP is an excellent precursor to my favourite Cursive album, The Ugly Organ. To me it's almost a companion piece. The was the first of their records to feature Gretta on Cello, whom I greatly miss in the band. The best thing about this record, for me, is it's beauty in it's ugliness. The guitars play lead lines that aren't in key and Tim Kasher's voice is pushed with emotional extremes until it breaks, not just screaming for screaming's sake, and to me it all works amazingly. The only difficult thing about this record is choosing a favourite track.
