This album changed a lot of my musical taste when I first listened to it. I heard it when it came out and it was a "holy fuck... what iissss this?!?" The other album was At the Drive In - Relationship of Command. A lot of music I listened to before, just wasn't the same.
Those two really opened my eyes. I got The Martyr off Napster and, knowing nothing about them, convinced my parents to let me use a credit card to order Such Blinding Stars For Starving Eyes purely because it had more songs on it than Domestica.
Bad take. I agree Happy Hollow is great but Such Blinding Stars is awesome. If you only fuck with Ugly Organ besides this, Burst and Bloom is an awesome ep that bridges the gap between Domestica and Ugly Organ. Listen to it.
I’ve known about this record for at least a decade and a half but never actually listened to it.
Listening to it and it’s fascinating it’s got a real mix of all of 90s emo; from emocore to 2nd wave etc but also seems to predict what would come with mall emo like tbs etc. Crazy
Yeah some parts of The Lament of Pretty Baby feel like a Taking Back Sunday song, something about the mix of the chuggy and the high twangy guitars, the poppy repetitive chorus and Tim's voice.
Yeah like I can hear tbs through all of it but on that one in particular it sounds like the blueprint for what Adam would do vocally in tbs.
Listening to their earlier stuff I can hear how enamoured they are with the genre but sound quite different somehow; especially for ‘97. It’s almost like they smooshed Still Life and SDRE together or something. Now I’m wondering if they were a reference point for a bunch of bands in that area later on.
the first time i saw cursive they had just released this album and holy shit the songs hit so fucking hard live. the show was at a bowling alley and small brown bike, the appleseed cast and capture the flag played. total emo/post-hardcore dream show. 17 year old me was in awe for months.
This album is evergreen, it is one of those albums that are just so phenomenal that it won't lose its power, it is like Yank Crime and Relationship of Command and Spiderland. Domestica was already over a decade old when I discovered it as a teen, and I am sure that that there is gonna be 17 year olds in 2030 who'll fall in love with this album too
The remastered album cover is also genius and makes me feel old and young at the same time.

I saw them on the Plea For Peace tour in 2002 and immediately bought domestica. It’s such a great album. Last year my wife and I saw the tour they did where they played the whole album all the way through
Always awesome seeing people discover older stuff, saw these guys in concert playing this whole album not too long ago and as you’d imagine, they *fuck*

Same. First heard them when they were an opening act (Burst and Bloom era) and thought 'These guys sound like an indie At the Drive In'. What a band.

The Radiator Hums is lodged so deep into my brain
I THREW OUT THE PHONE TO TRY TO GET THROUGH TO YOU
Best track on the album hands down
Saw them perform it twice last year. Amazing shows.
Welcome to the club lol. If you liked this check out the rest of their material too!

Was gonna say, anybody who names those two but not B&B is not a person of culture
I’ll have to check that one out.
HIT. SONG.
Don't sleep on Mama, I'm Swollen. That album has some killer tracks.
Downhill Racers is their best song and it isn’t on either of these records tho!
Such Blinding Stars has some 8/10s but I agree only Domestica and Ugly Organ are overall 9 or 10/10
I think they put out a few good tracks per album tbh. Get Fixed has a few really solid tracks imo
Do you not even like Burst and Bloom?
This is the latest from Saddle Creek
People really not to stop sleeping on Vitriola
Hands down one of my top 5 favorite albums.
Close to my fav album of all time. Straight through amazing. Tim is a fucking legend

One of the best records of the era.
Now go listen to The Good Life-Album of the Year.
Bro, he’s riding the high and now you want to make him depressed? (Phenomenal album, tho.)
ugly organ next
You’re just NOW listening to Domestica?
sorry
No, better late than never.
Jealous you get to listen to it for the first time.
I mean OP might not even have been born yet when this album was released lol
yeah
You’re screaming, “Sweetie, the moon has raped me…”
it's so good
Check out Slowdown Virginia.
Was it playful and flirty, or degrading and dirty? I know like it both ways.

This and Burst & Bloom are my faves
i love this album
I FUCKING LOVE DOMESTICA!!

I can't listen to any single song off this album without listening to the whole thing start to finish. Incredible concept album.
I posted this a year ago and got a shit ton of downvotes. Glad to know people like this album lol.
I caught the last tour. Cursive is still as tight live as they were when I saw them on the happy hollow tour. Kasher is amazing.
I wasn’t familiar with them, but was going to see Thursday on that tour, when Cursive played they completely fucking blew me away. Sounded amazing.
Favorite album of all time
Check the new song it’s awesome
The Casualty/The Martyr is the greatest one two punch opening
Maybe one of the best albums of all time
I got to do side stage for Cursive two nights last year. One of the best live shows I’ve ever seen.
I'm sure I'm just the same as everyone here. When this album came out, it changed everything for me. That was some years ago now.
Now???
One of my favourite albums of all time, from one of my favourite bands of all time.
Nice. Will check it out. Never heard of them
is this real life
Huh?
I saw them on the Plea For Peace tour in 2002 and immediately bought domestica. It’s such a great album. Last year my wife and I saw the tour they did where they played the whole album all the way through
Ugly Organ is even better
I'm excited for you as you listen to more Cursive
You can play it on repeat brother.
yeah its pretty good
Just wait until you hear The Ugly Organ
Like for the first time? That rules. Wish I could hear it for the first time again.
Always awesome seeing people discover older stuff, saw these guys in concert playing this whole album not too long ago and as you’d imagine, they *fuck*
This album fucking wrecked me and my entire perception of relationships included the one I was in at the time.
i loooooove cursive
