It Has Received Mixed Review From Fans With One Critic Saying "A Theatrical Pop Record About Middle Age From The Man Who Fronted The Band That Fueled Our Teenaged Angst Might Be Too Much For Some Fans To Accept. The Game Of Monogamy Doesn’t Have The Sonic Obliteration That Made Cursive Great Or The Shaky Whiskey-Hangover Feeling That Is The Raw Emotion Of The Good Life But Monogamy Is Tim Kasher In True Form. And It’s Really Fucking Good." -Thedropp.Com Diskographie With Cursive * Such Blinding Stars For Starving Eyes 1997 Crank!
