Every record here is fucking great. Can't argue with the winner, but I'd have said that regardless of the result. https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=423640#423640 Skinny Tue, 1 Dec 2015 15:40:10 GMT https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=423640#423640 https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=423639#423639 Author: <a href='https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=27024'>RockyRaccoon</a><br /><br /> Posted: 12/01/2015 20:38<br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <span style="font-style: italic"><span class="forum-bbcode-font-size-18" style="line-height: normal">and the winner is......</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <div align="left"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/G1JdMLP.jpg" class="postimg" style="cursor:pointer;" onclick="window.open('http://i.imgur.com/G1JdMLP.jpg','imgpop','width=480,height=320,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no');return false" /><span class="gensmall hidden-md hidden-lg"><br><i></i></span></div><br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: violet"><span class="forum-bbcode-font-size-24" style="line-height: normal">Benji by Sun Kil Moon</span></span></span><br /> <br /> <div align="left"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/UITtfXr.jpg" class="postimg" style="cursor:pointer;" width="500" onclick="window.open('http://i.imgur.com/UITtfXr.jpg','imgpop','width=1500,height=1333,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no');return false" /><span class="gensmall hidden-md hidden-lg"><br><i>Thumbnail.

And that’s not including the ones where someone’s on the verge of death or seriously headed towards it. Toddlers die, teenagers die, adults die, and the elderly die. They die of natural causes and in freak accidents. People die alone and people die by the dozens—handicapped children, single parents, grandmothers, serial killers. They die out of mercy and die long before they’re due. Rednecks die as respected men and white collar kids die in disgrace. But more importantly, Mark Kozelek wants us to know that they all lived, loved, fought, fucked up, and often did the best they could, before he sets out to “find some poetry to make some sense of this and give some deeper meaning” to their tragedies. Turns out he doesn’t have to dig very far. Here, Kozelek does away with the metaphor and verbal obfuscation often used to distract an audience from their own joy, sadness, crippling failures, and small triumphs. If listeners find themselves unable to make it through Benji in one piece, it’s because Kozelek all but forces us to recognize how the most emotionally moving art can be mapped directly on to our own lives." -Pitchfork</span></span></span> https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=423639#423639 RockyRaccoon Tue, 1 Dec 2015 15:38:10 GMT https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=423639#423639 https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=423638#423638 Author: <a href='https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=27024'>RockyRaccoon</a><br /><br /> Posted: 12/01/2015 20:34<br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold">BEST FOLK/COUNTRY ALBUM OF 2014 </span><br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span class="forum-bbcode-font-size-18" style="line-height: normal">The Nominees: </span></span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold"><span class="forum-bbcode-font-size-24" style="line-height: normal">BENJI</span></span><br /> <br /> <div align="left"><img src="http://albumart.besteveralbums.com/albumart/album_large_55496_52f07b3b73dfd.jpg" class="postimg" style="cursor:pointer;" height="250" onclick="window.open('http://albumart.besteveralbums.com/albumart/album_large_55496_52f07b3b73dfd.jpg','imgpop','width=500,height=500,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no');return false" /><span class="gensmall hidden-md hidden-lg"><br><i>Thumbnail.
