/mu/, what are some very sad albums?
Please, PLEASE, no emo, no edgy stuff, no overposted albums.
Keaton Henson - Deer. Get a happy album ready or arrange some good times when it's over because this one will hit hard

>>50666595

La Dispute, whatever album King Park is on.
>>50666979
But King Park is the only good track on that album.
this is the saddest album I've ever heard
John must have been feeling pretty down
>>50666942
Nobody talks about Songs About Leaving anymore
Also Drinking Songs is not even close to being overposted
Also >>50666616, >>50666742, >>50666774, >>50666803 are all posted a lot more frequently than either of them
>>50667005
>implying I'm going to read posts
It's an image board, not a personal blog.
>>50667038

What is the saddest hip hop album?
>inb4 Sadboys
>>50666929
this
/slowcore/ here
all of these albums are very, very sad
>>50666588
Duster - Stratosphere
>>50668879
I have trouble getting into Galaxie 500, does it take a few listens to get a feel for it?
>>50668971
Slowcore is far from attention-grabbing. It definitely takes a couple listen, then starts to "make sense," I guess.
Listen to Today if you didn't like On Fire. They're not drastically different, but it may be more your thing.
>>50669034
Cool, Thanks man, Red House Painters and American Music Club are in my top ten favorite bands, i always hear Galaxie 500 mentioned when those two bands are mentioned so it just makes sense that i would like Galaxie 500
>>50666588
Vic Chesnutt albums, such as North Star Deserter, West of Rome or Drunk.
Also, Bunkbed's Nothing Ever Lasts.
Look up the lyrics while you listen to it.
>>50668030
>>50666999
yeah holy shit
>what are the years we gave each other
>ever gonna be worth

Syd :(
The Pop Group - Y
Suicide - S/T
a bit obvious but any HANL or Giles Corey
any Carla Bozulich or Evangelista project (particularly Prince of Truth, and the first Evangelista album)
>>50670011
>>50670028
Madcap laughs is more lonely and lost than outright sad
His best song is Jugband Blues just saying
>it's awfully considerate of you to think of me here, and I'm most obliged to you for making it clear that I'm not here
>And what exactly is a dream
>And what exactly is a joke

>>50672125
>Emo

pls go
>>50666722
what a find thank you sir
>>50667585
wow, if you don't know you didn't get the punchline
btw bad comic
Pic related is sad in a happy way I guess. My ex really liked them, so it's extra sad to me.
I've almost killed myself to Great Lake Swimmers s/t more than once, so that as well.
The first few tracks especially
>>50672335
How is it edgy?
>ctrl+f
>this not been posted yet
>>50674013
I'd argue that this is "edgy" and could possibly seen as overposted too.
>>50674035
>I'd argue
It isn't even an argument, Xiu Xiu are probably one of the edgiest bands currently active
Saddest album known to man
>>50667761
I recomend this album also. It has a consistant mood
>>50674083
As I fan I would have to agree.
>>50666588
>>50666999
>When the villagers come to my door I will hide underneath the table in the dining room
>knees drawn to my chest
>When the villagers come to my door I will breathe shallow breaths from high up in my stomach ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
>Waiting for the front door to splinter, waiting all winter.
>When the villagers come to my door I'll be all tucked away with my face to the floor and my eyes closed
>And no one knows how to keep secrets 'round here
>They tell everyone everything soon as they know
>And then where is there left for poor sinners to go?
>Waiting for the front door to splinter, waiting all winter.
if you see light is my favorite track on that album. so much angst contained in only two minutes
>>50674110
I'm a fan too. I hate people who think 'edgy' is synonymous with 'bad'.
>>50674035
edgy: yes
Overposted: no
i haven't really cried like a huge bitch in a while, but the last time i did, it was to this album.
i don't think it's overposted, but i see it here every once in a while.
what's the saddest singer-songwriter album?
>>50674897
Dear by Keaton Henson
>>50674897
David Thomas Broughton - The Complete guide to Insufficiency
At least for me it is.
any Songs: Ohia album basically
>>50674897
check this out
>>50675683
it hurts more knowing JM is dead.
>>50675694
i know. especially the way he died.
>I'm getting weaker
>>50674897
Dear by Keaton Henson
http://vimeo.com/38851290
in the almost same line as op blood bank is a really bon iver ep that i find quite sad
>>50668879
Heres another chart, some of the same stuff
Little Kid - Logic Songs
>sad folk with angsty vocals about his conflict with god and the world
Favorite track
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3so6WMIUqao&list=UUXfRgI558hxoRAMuVkgiNvA&index=17
>>50666722
This is really great.
>>50674897
Pink Moon by Nick Drake
>>50675917
good list, but i think what fun life was is bedhead's best release, also s and idaho deserve some love
>>50676283
Did you think Cool Choices fell under the Slowcore catagory?
>>50668932
This! Essential curl-up-in-a-ball-and-cry-core
>>50676283
Where would you suggest starting with Idaho?
>>50674013
Fuck me this album just destroys me.
>>50674125
It's so great. God I love JD. I would probably perform homosexual acts on him I love him so much.
>>50676012
Hell yea this fucking album
>>50676545
Also this song by the Mountain Goats is super sad, as is most of the album it's from. But if you had a loved one die recently then you should especially listen to this song. One of my favorites by him actually. Just beautifully written.

>tfw I struggle with the nightshade in my blood
Good shout
DTB seems to be getting a lot more love on /mu/ lately, which I'm very happy with
>>50674013
I love how this is getting so popular on /mu/ all of the sudden
This album is both sad and uplifting to me. But mostly sad. Also 10/10 for me.
>>50666999
Fuck yes I love this album so much.
>The first time I made coffee for just myself, I made too much of it
>But I drank it all, just cause you hate it
>When I let things go to waste
>>50676761
It's neither "so popular" nor "all of the sudden"
>>50676829
I see this album, or xiu xiu mentioned almost every day
it wasn't like this months back
>>50676428
maybe not, but sadstyle definitely is. i think cool choices is misery-pop
>>50676493
start with his early stuff if you want trve slowcore, start with levitate if you want something more mellow. the lone gunman is his best release
>>50676877
Different guy, but def was. You must've missed it. I didn't really listen to Xiu Xiu but it was hyped so much a few months back I got a few albums.
>>50676877
I beg to differ. Xiu Xiu has always been mentioned quite a bit on /mu/, but not to /mu/-core levels, nor is it now as far as I can tell. But whatever, it's not important. It's a great album.
>>50676946
bullshit. I couldn't even find a download link that worked in the archive a while back
This album is kind of a blank slate in the sense that whatever you're feeling at the current moment will be amplified tenfold. If you're already feeling feelsy, get ready
>>50675917
>>50668879
>no grouper
you sicken me
>>50666991
you must've skimmed through the album if you think their single is the only good song. Wildlife is their best album imo, you should give it another chance
>>50676629
>not genesis 30:3
>>50677309
Sure, that too. But can't I have a preference?
>>50669765
The end of the second verse in Burn Fetish gives me chills. Such a good album, tore my heart out the first time I heard it.
no bjm ?

wow im surprised you didnt like on fire. first listen i was blown away. keep listening its worth it. amazing album
>>50666588
>>50666929
the lyrics on this are so bad and whiny
>>50677678
MY WIFEEE
SITS WITH MEEEEEEEEEEEEE
was just listening to this in the car today, i forgot how hollow and isolated it sounds
>>50676545
God damn I love him so fucking much. I feel so much more 'connected' to him than any other musician for whatever reason.
>>50676629
"It's 3 days later when I get the call, and theres nobody around to break my fall"
That line gives me crazy chills every time. Darnielle is an incredible lyricist.
>>50666588
>>50678034
I agree with everything you said.
>>50678034
>>50678130
I agree with 99.9% of what they said.
>>50677796
It's kind sad being from the town that this spawned from and had sparklehorse die in.
>>50674897
>>50674897
Great Lake Swimmers- self titled.
Both BunkBed albums are pretty sad. And worth checking out.
And totally underposted.
And solo sad.
It's just one guy, but he's dead now. Presumably from how sad his music was.
Or heroin.
>>50677437
yes, yes you can im sorry for voicing my opinion in a very my-opinion-is-superior fashion that has been so popular on 4 chan
>>50667761
