/mu/'s thoughts on this emotionally wrecking, painful, heartstring

I can't identify with either side of the debate on this album. It didn't make me cry once, not even close. It wasn't emotionally wrecking for me, and it wasn't painful, it was just the best album I've heard in a long ass time.

The lyrics were fucking great. They painted this world so vividly for some reason despite how little he actually goes into his physical surroundings, it's like I'm picturing physical events every time he speaks. It's quite uncanny.

And what's with people saying there's a lack of melody? Are you guys fucking braindead cause these are some satisfying goddamn melodies. If you listen to Seaweed, Ravens, Real Death, Soria Moria, Swims...actually this entire album, and you try to tell me that these guitar arrangements aren't some of the most lush and atmospheric shits you've heard in this genre then I don't know.

I hate seeing people apologize for this record. Saying shit like "uh it's not SUPPOSED to be songs" or "just let him grieve." No, go fuck yourselves, you sound like you have zero room for emotional capacity because this is one of the most well-written and cohesive album I've ever heard, and probably ever will here. I can't stop listening to it. Probably a 10 but numbers don't mean shit

Wow, why have I never gone into his discography other than Benji? I hated that album but this is really good, thanks so much man.

It was good for the week that it came out on NPR, i haven't really listen to it since, I empathize with the sentiment, and I hope this helps Phil move forward. Very moving and inspirational album. 7/10

If I haven't listened to him before is this an appropriate place to start?

No. Listen to his stuff from the Microphones, or early Mount Eerie records. The Glow, Pt. 2 is considered a classic by many and a great starting point, in my opinion
