This is the greatest concept album of all time.
Prove me wrong /mu/.
>>63374496
You're right
Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars
>>63374496
what's the concept please?
>>63374509
I remember posting Bowie pictures when he was alive and well. It didnt feel like something was wrong.
Fuck my life Bowie is dead anons
>>63374608
his own death
>>63374690
It's just not the same.
>>63374496
It may well be
>>63374690
>tfw your copy of Blackstar got delayed and arrived after the news of his death broke
>tfw you were too ill to go to that massive memorial street party in Brixton
>>63374690
He's not dead, he can't die the way mortal men do
David Jones died, David Bowie made a concept album about his own death and will live on as a legend
>>63374496
I find it legitimately difficult to listen through this album considering everything that happened after its release
>>63374955
imagine the amount of emotional suffering bowie must have gone through to face death head on like he must have to create an album of it
if i were close to death i would not want to think of it one bit
>>63375013
I know, my grandfather is currently has terminal cancer and we can see him physically wearing away over the months he's been afflicted with it, I couldn't even begin to understand how it must feel to know your death is coming soon, to think of all the things you'll miss, all your family and friends lives will go on and you know for a fact that you won't be there to experience it with them, must be horrible.
>>63374748
i think at least two songs were written before the diagnosis, no?
>>63375013

Not even just emotional suffering, supposedly he had 5 heart attack during the 18 months that the album was recorded over. Just one was enough to end his touring career a decade ago...
>>63374690
Damn
>>63375129
At least 7 songs were written before his death
Look at me
I'm in heaven
>>63375162
>At least 7 songs were written before his death
i had no idea. explains a lot.
>>63374748
There's like one song that actually talks about dying.
>>63375129
bowie definitely knew his time was up
it was pretty much confirmed by visconti
over those 10 years of silence his health was slowly deteriorating
all the stuff he did in his final years 2013-2016 has this dark, reflective tone to it
the compilation album titled "nothing has changed" just sounded really morbid
let's not forget that his first release in 10 years was this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWtsV50_-p4
depressing as fuck
>>63375386
>Lazarus
>Blackstar
>Dollar Days
>I Can't Give Everything Away
>One
>>63375386
this >>63375427
lazarus is the most direct, but you can't deny that those other songs are about his death
also girl loves me seems like it might be about his frustration with having to go
>>63375129
No, they were written after, a few months i believe.
Blackstar is the only good track on the album
prove me wrong
>>63375981
the rest of the tracks exist
>>63375981
I can't, since you are a contrarian autist.
I love the album as a whole, I really do, but I actually think it would be better with only Blackstar, 'Tis a pity, Lazarus and I can't Give Everything away.
Amazing album still.
>>63376012
>>63376021
That's not proving me wrong. Why are the rest good?
>>63376123
because you don't like 'em.
>>63376123
Why are they bad? Burden of proof falls to the maker of the original claim.
>>63376123
there's obviously nothing we could say to change you're mind so why bother
>>63376170

btfo desu

Unimaginative and bland. Dollar Days is sappy, Lazarus is redditcore, and I Can't Give sounds like Kate Bush.
>>63374496
No
>>63376220
>sappy
How do you even quantify this
>redditcore
Come the fuck on, son
>I Can't Give sounds like kate bush
This is the only point you make that remotely approaches validity yet I don't see how that makes it inherently bad
>>63376220

>Lazarus is widely praised therefore I cannot publicly be seen to like it
Contrarian faggot.
>>63376220
>redditcore
What does this even mean
>>63376414
It literally means "popular".
The music video for Lazarus is the best music video since Life on Mars
>>63376220
you're trying sooo hard to fit in, aren't you?
The music video is fantastic, i just don't like the song.
music for Satanic normies

are you shittalking Kate Bush right now
>>63376670
Yes. She is pretty fucking annoying.
>>63376723
pleb
>>63375122
Sorry to hear that, buddy.
>>63376736
What? She makes the most pleb music imaginable!
BLACKSTAR SUCKS MAN
>>63377371
