Lyrics are unvaried, rougher than previous album.
Tim Kasher's voice and lyrical abilities lend themselves to the subject matter, as does his recent divorce. So long as one doesn't mind the fact that many of the songs lack a chorus, this may be the album at the top of the emo pile. Unfortunately, the lyrics on Domestica aren't up to par with those on Cursive's previous album, Storms of Early Summer, or those of his side project, The Good Life. Instead, these suspected autobiographical lyrics make repeated references to an angelic lover and a thrown telephone. Nonfiction is nice, but variety is preferable.
