'Lmao so wait, you hate the album because he pours his heart out about the death of his mother and all the fuckery she put him through?'
Not necessarily trying to combat you since I like 'Carrie & Lowell', but you seem to be implying that sad/deep/heavily personal subject matter inherently creates a genuine connection with the listener simply based on the fact that it is, indeed, sad, and that's simply not the case.

He doesn't need to have a connection, it's funny that he thinks Sufjan is TRYING to create a connection
Edit: Versus just pouring his feelings out

I like Carrie and Lowell but it's definitely not inoffensive, I can see why someone would hate it. Phil Elverum provides the most damning critique for that record: "Death is real, it's not for making into art."

Plane, you're too old for doing any kind of meme whatsoever. Don't be a fucking hero, just stand back and let the youngsters take the stage.

at least admit that there is such a thing as morbid fetishization of tragedy and that the audience and media aren't solely to blame.
How public can you make your own mourning and suffering before it becomes shallow exhibitionism? how much of your own life and personal experiences are you willing to put out there for the sake of your art? there are no right or wrong answers, but it is important to reflect on it, at the very least.

end of decade appreciation thread right here
I bet Frank pronounces the title of this album as 'bland'
"like, when I released bland, it wasn't planned to have that title, I just felt so bland what with my hair being bland and everything - I thought y'know wha? bland: that's the title. Bland."

personally, I respect the fuck out of people who expose their tragic life circumstances and make something actually beautiful out of it. that's not what makes the music good though, that would be the songwriting.

"Phil Elverum provides the most damning critique for that record: "Death is real, it's not for making into art.""
Quite frankly, who is he, or anyone minus Sufjan and his family to decide this?

the music on carrie and lowell absolutely does not suck lmao. Most sput-indie is trash, but that album's a stone-cold classic

It's a personal decision, agreed. But it doesn't mean people won't be expressing their opinion on it.
|
| |
and my opinion is that if you think tragedy should be a taboo subject in music writing, your mind is closed as fuck.

Heh, didn't Phil also made an album about the same topic? What a fucking shill.

No, it shouldn't be a taboo. It's mainly the presentation that matters.
