Get rid of the autotune fad nonsense and there might be a real heart here. There’s definitely some nice musical touches but the autotune shite just makes it product to be consumed.



Fuck it.

extremely overrated record

dead people can't give conscent, tho?

if you don't see anything problematic about openly giving up very personal details about dead people's lives to strangers on a stage, then i dunno what to tell you, dude.

@Pika: Well sure but you got to have some nerve in telling someone how to express their grief, especially when he released an album to the public to be bought as well. If you don't like the album as a piece of art itself that's fine but if Phil is using that statement to refer to albums like Sufjan's then that's essentially controlling people's way of coping and expressing themselves; which I believe to be wrong.

all I remember is the Elliott Smith lyric and wanting to throw Frank back in the swimming pool to get his hair ruined by the chlorine for another week

@rabid: It depends on the context of how the album was made and the lyrics ultimately. Morbid fetishisation of tragedy and shallow exhibitionism are good points and it should be required to keep in mind in a case by case scenario. If said case offends you, speak with your wallet and don't buy it. It's all you can do because these types of albums have helped/fascinated people for years and it isn't going to change.



It raises the question of what's more important? Consent of someone who isn't alive anymore or the potential to affect many people around the world for good. That mainly depends on the family's intentions, at least for me.

It's not about telling people HOW to do it - I meant that we are still allowed to criticise the product because it's, well, a piece of art, right?

Album Rating: 5.0

"Death is real, it's not for making into art." is crossing that line to criticising the product to criticising the person and restricting art on the basis on what he thinks art should be, as in the concept of making art based on grief shouldn't exist to begin with. That's the way I see it at least.

Yes, I think the convo got mixed up here. Shitting on an album is one thing, shitting on how an album is made is another.

Album Rating: 1.0

it's a case-by-case thing, yes, but still, i can't really get enlightenment or emotional support with stuff like:

"you said you didn't want to die and then you shat and puked on the bed and then we had sex and then you cried and then you died of canceeeeer. your dad said please don't make a song about thiiiiiis, but fuck him i'm saaaaad" (sad guitar pluckin continues)

this reads more like 'A Crow' than 'Carry & Lol' for the record

Album Rating: 1.0

yes, i know. i have very particular issues with "a crow", but more so with the follow-up.

"too much info, dude" the album.

y'all argue boring
