Remember at your high-school talent show when that one guy got on stage with an acoustic guitar and played a song, and at one point was singing lyrics really quickly while playing the same riff for 5 minutes, and it was funny for like 10 seconds and people were applauding mid-performance in slight amusement, but the novelty wore off really quickly? That was Mark Kozelek. He won first place!

This death-laden nostalgia-fest collection of possibly tall tales coming from a 47-year old folkie Ohioan is one of the most moving and haunting albums I've heard in some time. Comes complete with an everyday all-American cast of friends, relatives and neighbors falling under many a misfortune (all while Richard Ramirez anticlimactically dies of natural causes), the merging of a 70's rock fandom childhood with the all too current Newtown/Panera Bread/"drunk kids staring at their cells" world of today, disturbingly graphic confessions of early sexual ventures and nonchalantly forgiving ones of child abuse, plainly stated yet profound realizations of growing old ("The Sopranos guy died at 51 / That's the same age as the guy who's coming to play the drums"), and perhaps at its most hair-raising, the powerful reminder that a mother's death is inevitable ("When the day comes for her to leave / I won't have the courage to sort through her things").

Another perfect record from Mark. Not sure how this one came to be, nothing warranted a major comeback besides his continued immense skill but Benji start to finish leaves you wanting more like it, and maybe Common as Light gets close to this style in certain aspects, but it's one of his many creative peaks.

It seems to be routine to say that all musical works that come out of tragedies and elements involving death, are musical masterpieces, or almost so. But how can i argue in other words, if artists like Mount Eerie and Sun Kil Moon always prove it? "Benji" is that much, and the celebration of death being something that should be treated more naturally. In addition, it is so sincere, showing ways to deal with pain, emphasizing the feeling for good things that life can provide.

While I wouldn't call "Benji" a bad album, it's still a somewhat tepid album that gets to be rather repetitive quick.
While I can appreciate how personal "Benji" is, I just could not give a shit, a thought that really killed this for me.

Honest and highly reflective lyricism parallels American fingerstyle guitar playing which strums and drones in poetic, meditative ways. No topic is sparred scrutiny of the intense self-examination. Occasional confidence is countered by fragile honesty. r

I wrote a song to explain my soundoff. "I started to listen to the new Sun Kil Moon album and thought it was really gooooooood, thought it was really good, really good, really good. / I thought the lyrics were a little bit bad, but eventually learned to enjoy them for the story instead of the subtleties, instead of the suuuuuuutleties / Overall I think it's a pretty good album and I think I'll rate it pretty high because I personally think it's their best since Ghosts of the Great Highway, but that's just my opinion" What'd'ya think, guys, am I the new Kozelek?

This is pretty brilliant, hard to listen to at times given the themes and unflinching lyrics but I thought it was an incredibly heartfelt record, the most focused Kozelek has sounded since April
