This beautifully dark fairytale of a concept album is as heavy as the Cursive of old, ingenious, and just as lyrically surreal as you could hope for.
I Am Gemini isn’t only a rewarding effort, but a solid example of how to make a concept work.
I Am Gemini feels angrier than recent efforts; its guitar lines are sharper, its choruses are yelled.
It's heady, it's heavy, and it's classic Cursive, now in twin territory.
It’s his most ambitious attempt at storytelling yet, but it ultimately stumbles to be puzzling and uninspiring.
I Am Gemini is Cursive's weakest record by a disheartening margin, but its lyrics sheet sets a remarkably high standard for anti-piracy measures.
For all its tempo shifts and attempts at fun, Gemini sounds like the work of an ascetic band scared of pleas
Cursive loses their touch on I Am Gemini... as expected with this album cover. I feel like they tried to tackle something as epic as Ugly Organ but may have tried a little too hard because the bland side of indie rock mush that pollutes much of this record is hard to ignore.
