Cursive - The Ugly Organ (2003)

The Ugly Organ is a concept album about "The Ugly Organist" and his life of lust, love and emptiness. I don't quite understand the whole story just by listening to the album but you get the general idea of the emotions and things he is going through. It is an amazing album and features the same cellist as was on the previous album i put on here. It ads a whole layer of melancholic sound and feeling to the album and aids in the story telling process. Overall, the album is very expressive and a little depressing but fantastic nonetheless.
