I really like Sun Kil Moon but I can't get into this album at all. Can someone explain the appeal? Why is it one of the most popular ones in the discog?
Pitchfork gave it a high score
>>73289967
p4k approved it.
enjoyed UT more. with ghosts being my fav still of his skm stuff. new album is really great also.

i dunno man. it's sad and good.
to be fair the album didn't click for me til i was doing a solo walk around kyoto (of all places) at night, so maybe the appeal is situational.
ben's my friend is fucking amazing. give it another chance?
Benji got the P4k seal of approval because it has a lot of death and that makes it edgy
It's like with Carrie & Lowell, music for cucks who need emotion all in the lyrics
Universal Themes is ace, Benji is meh
Personally I just think it has a ton of great songwriting ideas, each track introduces a new way if telling a story and the sounds and the lyrics and the melodies all come together in a nice little emotional package, better than UT and Common is just behind it, would probably be passed it if it werent for Seventies TV Show Theme
I find it incredibly moving.
