Is this the saddest album ever made?
No, but it's pretty miserable
I can see a lot of people not being affected at all by that album. Also I can see a lot of people not understanding what the lyrics mean
this exists
>>64663071
they are pretty straight forward quite honestly
>>64663252
nope
>>64663162
+1
tears were shed
Hospice is sad, but it isn't depressive
>>64663162
fuck this album
>>64663012
If you've had a best friend or a lover who's died to cancer, possibly. I know Hospice personally fucked me up inside when I first listened to it a few years after my close friend passed away from leukemia.
But guys
>>64663260
WHOAH WHAT AN ARGUMENT
>>64663039
A GOOOOOOD FRIEND
>>64663012
Pornography is the saddest album.
Songs written by someone so close to suicide that let it all out in a cry of agony was the only thing that could save him.
"It doesn't matter if we all die..."
A very nice beginning for an album at the time
>>64663012
It tries way too hard to sound sad, and ends up sounding like the fucking Fault in Our Stars or something.
>>64663252
what i got from it was that being in an abusive relationship but not being able to let go is like watching someone you love die. is this accurate?
What does shenryyr look like
literally over-sentimentality: the album
Listened to this yesterday, I really disliked it despite liking the idea behind the album + a few musical moments.
Yeah, as in it's really sad how much it sucks.
>>64664886
No.
Dying of cancer is a metaphor for crippling emotional and behavioral issues in his lover due to a fucked up childhood. Him being a hospice worker for her is a metaphor for him being utterly sympathetic and understanding of her psychological problems to the point where he can excuse and look past them even as they take their toll on him and his life. Her death is their breakup where she just disappears with no warning like she constantly threatens to do.
I hope you at least got that Bear was about an unwanted pregnancy and abortion.
>>64663252
Obviously not. Although I'm not sure why you'd call a concept album spanning metaphor straightforward even if it's a clear one.
>>64663347
Or you get the obvious metaphor that somehow elludes 90% of /mu/ to connect with the more universal issue.
>>64665443
This album really isn't that sad apart from LYSHCO and So Real.
itt
>>64665551
>tfw last relationship followed this parallel but i ended it because i couldn't take it anymore
>>64665965
Did you fool yourself into believing or at least feeling like you could save them? That's really the core of the metaphor right there. That and getting kind of fucked up in future relationships yourself because of the experience.
>>64663012
It's tied with Deathconsciousness.
>>64665636
What am I looking at here? It's a violin, but on a cliff above lava? or...? wtf?
>>64665636
>>64667173
oh shit it's Mr. Krab's claw, I see it now.

Is it worth it /mu/?
Is
YOUR PICTURE
>>64665636
This could be album art
>>64669075
It would be hard to crop in a way that would keep it looking like a claw
I think I have you all beat.

i honestly don't think any of you can top this
>>64663012
B-but that's not Low's 1994 debut LP 'I Could Live In Hope'
>>64667211
Its a violin you autist
>>64669177
This album didn't even seem sad to me when I heard it, just really pretty
>>64669643
It's probably more maudlin knowing that he killed himself 2 years later.
>>64667793
Fuck her, always worth it
>>64669177
The album is melancholic at best. There's more than in being sad.
>>64663012
Yes
>>64663039
This sounds like it was written by an angsty 13 year old
>>64668079
IS STILL
>>64663012
Honestly? Most stories about romance, or the lack thereof, are a bit stale to me. Silberman did a good job with it, but that doesn't stop it from being a breakup album. Granted, I don't know many sadder but I'm too depressed to listen to music.
>>64665551
I listened to it once and understood all of that and I'm absolutely shit at reading most subtext. I like the Antlers but they're not exactly subtle.
>>64667793
Not unless you're emotionally masochistic.
Which if you are, you might do better to see a shrink. But same.
>>64669452
>mr. creb
>smalist
you really didn't realize that that was b8?
who's the autist, really?
It's "tfw no gf" music, but really good "tfw no gf" music
>>64672826
Really? To me it seems kinda comfy despite the lyrics. It feels like sitting around a campfire on a cold night with a woolen blanket. And sometimes the blanket catches fire but you always extinguish it right before it becomes a problem and before any major damage is done to the blanket.

ON MY WALL
