ITT: Artist dies, DUDE 4/5 RYM LMAO
Obligatory
It's true, but at least it's actually pretty good
Elliott deserves to have an album in the top 100 off of actual artistic merit alone
It just shouldn't be that one
>Artist's wife dies
anyone who can't appreciate Elliott clearly has no soul
upboat
>kill whifey
Are you sure it's not because RYM really likes it?
Go look at RYM's top 10 for the 2010s
It's not a coincidence
Death makes people inflate their ratings. Who gives a shit?
That's the point of the thread, dumbass
it was rated pretty high even before he died
The RYM community isn't smart, are you just learning this now?
This album fucking sucks.
>death can't change the context of art
>all art exists in a vacuum
w e w
also stop putting spaces in your posts it makes you look like you're from reddit
I see Blackstar and Sufijan. Pretty sure Kanye, Kendrick, Gira, Thom, Danny, and PJ Harvey are still alive. That said who gives a shit what a bunch people you will never meet think? Go make some friends or something
or maybe most people on RYM rate music based exclusively on personal preference and context outside of the music such as someone's death enhances their experience while listening to the album
it's not really hard to understand
I can't believe I used to like this terrible shit
They're not smarter than 4chin, but they've got better taste overall
what
fpbp
found it sitting right next to it, too
There's so much death in Kendrick's shit, yo
Not saying it's bad. I think Blackstar is one of his best songs, but plebs, casuals, and hipsters only rated the album highly because "muh swan song" and "muh prophecy".
