Good News For People Who Love Bad News

dex_is_swag just a fun song :) Favorite track: Bury Me With It.

𝕍 𝕚 𝕣 𝕘 𝕠 ♕ 𝕍 𝕒 𝕟 𝕕 𝕒 𝕝 The Red Rocks show with Brand New created a lot of conflicted views for everyone as like 9 songs were played & it was over, but I’ve always had love for these guys & tour is war. I didn’t pay for the tickets anyway so hopefully a show at the gothic one day would feel a bit more intimate. A lot of people really hated on this album when it dropped, but it really couldn’t have been written any better. Favorite track: Bury Me With It.

Jonathan Pryor Possibly my least favorite album due to track overplay but the consistency remains. Favorite track: Blame It On the Tetons.

sycoalexio I’m a sucker for Float On.
Helped me get through some hard days, weeks, and months.
This album reminds me of the people I’ve loved throughout my life, and helps recall very fond memories.
Favorite track: The World At Large.

steverie All too often bands tend to lose what makes them special when they have their big mainstream breakthrough. Thankfully, Modest Mouse really put the effort into making a great set of songs on Good News. It's more pop oriented than any of their records that came before, but that certainly doesn't mean that it's bad like some music snobs might lead you to believe. This record was one of my gateways into "indie" rock when I was a young lad, and I still love it dearly. Favorite track: Blame It On the Tetons.

deadis satin in a coffin is dope as it is but I would have loved a non-vocal version of that song too. In fact, I think a few of the songs would be great as just instrumentals. no hate to the vocalist.

Illinois
by Sufjan Stevens

supported by 43 fans who also own “Good News For People Who Love Bad News”

Throughout this album, somehow, Sufjan makes me care about the state of Illinois. From detailed depictions of various landmarks and folklore, to moments of deep personal introspection; Illinois builds an incredibly dense narrative out of it's seemingly simple concept. The variety of sounds on this album is remarkable, compelling me to smile in one moment, then leaving me a sobbing mess in the next. One of the very few albums I'd consider to be 100% perfect.
