boys and melodrama

Y'all remember the playlist with the songs that almost made my song list? "Mary" was originally there but GOD, it slayed me like nothing I can think of in such short span of time  'Capacity's' centerpiece is a bittersweet ballad filled with melancholy, with an unusually long, but extremely satisfying chorus. Whew!

Dragging Obama and delivering at the same a total BOP? ANOHNI can't relate

Flashback to the day Phil announced the album - knowing his wife had died six months earlier I (and probably everyone else) thought to myself "wtf already?". And then I read the press release. Uh oh. Then I noticed that the song he’s shared along with the announcement is called "Real Death". Uh oh. Needless to say, I knew exactly what to expect but at the same time I was NOT prepared for what was to come.

 

A week after you died a package with your name on it came

And inside was a gift for our daughter you had ordered in secret

And, collapsed there on the front steps, I wailed

A backpack for when she goes to school a couple years from now

You were thinking ahead to a future you must have known deep down would not include you

 

It felt like I was hit by a train. And the rest of 'A Crow Looked at Me' is no less heartbreaking. Each song is so disturbingly emotional, it punches you right in the stomach.

 

And I poured out your ashes on it

I guess so you can watch the sunset

But the truth is I don't think of that dust as you

You are the sunset

In today's episode of "I Knew I Should Have Listened To This When It Came Out But For Some Unknown Reason I Intentionally Ignored This For Months"

 

But anyway, the better half of F*ck Buttons (don't waste your time on listening to Andrew Hung's tragic debut album ) delivered his best yet  'World Eater' hypnotizes you from the very start with the enigmatic "John Doe's Carnival of Error". And it only gets better from there: then we have the aggressive "Rhesus Negative," cold, Forest Swords-esque "Pleas"e and the absolute highlight, "The Rat". I was so stupid for paying this dust

[artangels]

talent truly won  aclam is so beautiful never heard of  such emotional record before

tea at world eater! but the rat is... 

silent treatment is better

I hope High Violet (my #1 favorite) and Boxer does the trick. Though, SWB had more going on electronically than those, so maybe that aspect was what helped appealed to you more. 

And so do I. I noticed, but idk if this is the case since my favorite tracks have barely any electronics

Totally understandable, I've seen someone call it "the most beautiful album I'll never listen to again"

Fight me

 

I should have also put Plunge above Utopia just for the kiis

[Tom Vercetti]

Nice sings. I wish ACLAM had more... how do I put this.. musical elements involved, like with Skeleton Tree or Carrie & Lowell. I feel the former is a little too acoustic and somber. Blanck Mass did that for sure.

don't waste your time on listening to Andrew Hung's tragic debut album

Thanks for the warning.

I literally listened to Mount Eeries album once. Not putting myself through the SOBBING again. 

[Unoriginal]

MAH did that  Republican fave

I listened to ACLaM for the first time a couple days ago and ****ing hell it's deep and dark and horrible but incredible 

[Vxspertine]

BIG LEGENDS AND MOUNT TALENT WON 

[clue]

M.A.H.*

 

 

[Price of Fame]

Someone else who recognizes Mary as the best song on Capacity.  That chorus is one of the most satisfying/relaxing things to sing along to

[Pink Matter]

Blanck Mass  The one time I felt I was being attacked by music.

 

 

And I'm not sure what the confusion is with Melodrama being above Utopia  

[theblackestday]

Mary is so beautiful  I knew it’d be in your top 10

Blanck Mass really did THAT.

I listened to ACLAM once without paying attention to lyrics so I didn’t care for it, but I just read your writeup with the lyrics and just got serious chills

[Lazuli]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAS at you pulling through and putting Mary aka the best song on Capacity into your top 10  Come thru BITCH

Mount Eerie uh oh  

[Dom]

Yassss Big Thief, talent truly won, u won, gurl. I could say slay, and I can. S-L-A-Y.

[Lucas32]

these Mount Eerie lyrics instantely giving me goosebumps  I still have to do my write-up for the album and I don't even know how to begin to do it justice

Actually it was refreshing to hear him strip down his sound a bit  I definitely get what you mean though

I do net recommend listening to ACLAM and reading the lyrics at the same time though, unless you wanna cry like a baby

I didn't really pay attention to Seaweed's lyrics when I was on my first listen but boi, when I looked them up later  

I usually do my write ups last minute nn, sometimes it's so obvious
