I is the debut studio album by Canadian hardcore punk band Cursed, released on February 25, 2003 via Deathwish Inc. (The title is rendered as "One" on the sleeve of the reissued album, and the context provided by the album's successors, II and III, reinforces the interpretation of the title as the Roman numeral.) It was recorded at Chemical Sound in Toronto, from October 19 to October 23, 2002. It received moderate critical acclaim.[3] The album was reissued on vinyl by Trash Art! in 2007.
