Stream here:

 

Welp. I'm gonna be alone at work for the next hour or so so, I might as well

 

Good god

 

Oh man. I'm trying to prep myself for this.

 

this is the saddest record I've ever heard, like.. by far

 

"October wind blows
It makes a door close
I look over my shoulder to make sure
But there is nobody here
I finally took out the upstairs bathroom garbage that was sitting there forgotten since you were here
Wanting just to stay with us
Just to stay living
I threw it away
Your dried out, bloody, end-of-life tissues
Your toothbrush and your trash
And the fly buzzing around the room
Could that possibly be you too?
I let it go out the window
It does not feel good"

good fucking lord

 

I tried...

I just cant do it this morning. I'll have to listen to it later

 

I posted the stream but haven't listened to it yet, will give it my undivided attention tonight.

 

Is this going to wreck me like Carrie and Lowell wrecked me?

 

Carrie & Lowell is one of my favorite albums of all time.. That being said, this is far more devastating. C&L had a (albeit small) sense of beauty wrapped up in it to me, if that makes sense. This doesn't have that. At all.

 

Pure, unflinching, unforgiving, sorrow and grief.

 

that album is sunshine and rainbows comparatively

 

I've been looking forward to this but I do not have it in me to listen to this right now.

 

Phew. I better be sure to brace myself before pressing play.

 

Just finished the whole thing. Unapologetic, earth-shattering grief. It was a hard, hard listen.

 

I'm going to listen to it tonight before bed. Pretty nervous for it.

 

why am i listening to this at my desk at work.

 

:(

 

this is very very sad

 

Just finished it at lunch while playing Breath of the Wild.

Hyrule has never been so fucking depressing.

 

I'm not like crying or anything but this is honestly the most depressing album I've ever listened to. Which I guess explains why I'm not crying cause depression is basically devoid of emotions and feeling. But it's also really calming and beautiful so I keep on listening to it.

"We are all always so close to not existing"

 

Eager to listen to this but I need to be ready. Seriously couldn't stop crying for like a half hour when I heard Real Death for the first time.

 

I can definitely say I've never been this scared to listen to an album, haha. Might turn it on tonight, but if not tomorrow or Saturday.

 

I can't decide if I want to stream this over the weekend or wait until I can pick up the vinyl next Friday.

 

I listened last night.

It was a little different of an expirience than I expected. However brutal this record is, it's also undeniably beautiful. i don't think that I have ever in my entire life heard songs that illustrate more love between two people than these songs do. With that being said, this is also the saddest album I have ever listened to.
The line in the second track about not seeing his wife in the ashes, but rather he sees her in the sun - that was probably my favorite moment on the entire album. That line kind of sums up the album for me. That moment brought me to tears but it was heart wrenchingly beautiful at the same time.
