I am fresh to Sun Kil Moon's stuff but this album seemed like one long song with different guitar riffs in the background. His stories are cool and all, but I find it very one dimensional. Guess I gotta listen repeatedly?!? @@Swishead
Mark is my favorite artist. I have been a fan for years. Now, I can understand why some may not like this album, but to me, it is a journey that Mark is taking me on, stretching the boundaries of what music can be. At the very least, it is heartfelt, honest and original. Ghosts, April, and everything else still exist so there is no need to cry about the past. Maybe one day Mark will go back to making more palatable music. Maybe not. Either way, I am here for the long haul.
I'm crazy about Sun Kil Moon/Mark Kozelek just not as into his newer stuff. "April" is one of my favorite albums of all time and "Moorestown" one of my favorite songs
I think this recent material from Mark Kozelek works much better as a live performance rather than a traditional album. I was at one of his recent shows in Scandinavia which was a two and a half hour performance which felt almost more like a standup routine or spoken word performance with music added rather than a typical concert. The bulk of the material played were from this album, however the instruments featured were only a acoustic guitar and grand piano (and Mark's lyrics on a note stand, if that counts). I personally think the live instrumentation was more emotionally resonant and Mark's interaction with the audience made it all feel more real and engaging.
I'd say that this's meant to have a bit of a broken aesthetic which makes it quite hard to get as an album, its good for a certain time and a certain place but not always fits the winter nicely
great review! you hit the nail on the head when you said this is like a podcast - what with the book and hotel reviews! No one is writing stuff like Koz. He's a true genius.
Love how you’re always on your game Anthony. This album is very emotional, but then again everything Mark produces is emotional but nothing compares to Benji
"Just rambling his way through the instrumentals" Reminds me of some Regina Spector songs. If I remember right, one of her songs is a grocery list or something mundane like that.
Very good points about the artist seemingly using an album like a vlog or a podcast. I have the same hangup with Car Seat Headrest sometimes. All too often the lyrics feel too self-referential for their own good.
Nice review. Interesting how it's getting received. Like all Mark's recent out it's totally mixed bag, agree with the take that Mark's music is more like a musical podcast or something now and just not a normal listen. Musically I felt Linda Blair is one of the stronger tracks on here, along with Soap For Joyful Hands and definitely the title track, for me at least. I also think it's genuinely funny, the funniest release he's put out yet, but maybe this doesn't translate on record as well as it did live, and comedy can be a divisive thing to use in music. I like it but not exactly in love with it either. Finally, Anthony/everyone, did you listen to the second collab with Jesu, because that was a highlight and the strongest album Mark's sang on since at least Universal Themes imo, melodically much richer than this new album for example.
A good song to start with would be The Highway Song. I couldn’t see many people actually disliking that song. The instrumental is straight fire, and the interludes are really interesting (he turns a very bizarre and esoteric story into this amusing self-deprecating description of himself)
I actually really like his new stuff. I especially like the self titled track. I am a huge fan of RHP and early Sun Kil Moon as well of course. Those are actual “songs”, but his new stuff is kind of like listening to a musical podcast
2:45 Nick Cave? Bob Dylan? Craig Finn (admitably you never mentioned him but God in Chicago is amazing) Yeah they are more music focused than mark kozelek but not by that much on multiple songs; O' malleys bar, Oh my lord, desolation row etc.

Good review Anthony, but I felt uncomfortable when you said that anyone who dislikes the video is going to wake up with a chopped up melon in their bed.
I think Linda Blair is one of Mark's most impressive and creative songs, really enjoyed this album, even more so than his self titled album earlier in the year.
I saw him live a few months ago and he has a new song that continues to shit on the war on drugs. also seeing mark live play new songs almost feels like stand up comedy
Benji was my introduction to Sun Kil Moon, and I loved (and still love) that album. It's a wonderful blend of stream of consciousness lyrics and poignant, thoughtful personal observations. With every release since then, Sun Kil Moon has focused on the stream of consciousness part, completely disregarding any interesting points about society or his own life in favor of pointless ramblings about serial killers, fans, and other artists. His insights were often snide, but lacked the lyrical flair or thoughtfulness to be funny or interesting. He doesn't wrestle with contradictions, he just dismisses things. His songs feel unedited, and not in a way that comes off as authentic, but in a way that sounds careless. (Drinking game: Drink every time he says "sick fuck" in one of his songs.) It makes me think that Benji was a fluke. But I don't know, maybe I don't "get it." Who has enjoyed his output since Benji, and what have you liked about it?
Your review was far too kind. WTF was this album. I'll take my RHP and Ghosts of the Great Highway, I grew up with his old RHP when it came out, followed his work through the decades and it has been some of my favorite music to date; but this sounds like a crooner hip hop concept album. Yikes.
This review sounded very harsh considering it was still a decent to strong 6 in the end. While (or rather BECAUSE lol) i agree with the points the melon made here, i think a 5 or even a 4 would've made more sense.
"melons in my town don't do album reviews; they grow and flourish and are picked and eaten or placed in a contest if it is a superlative kind of melon but none of these have anything to do with album reviews, especially not album reviews that pertain to my favorite artist, Sun Kil Moon, who, if he knew that the melon would be reaching out to so many other melon heads, would probably break the sixth wall and add one of melons TH-cam videos directly into a song where Sun Kil Moon then critiques the melon critiquing him" - Isaac Brock
I seem to have read a rave review of a certain Big Sean record that had been attributed to you on Noisey/Vice. I for one was under the impression you did not care for Big Sean, but one "Fanthony Fantano"--you, I presume--begs to differ. Care to share any strong feelings you may or may not be harboring in regards to that, sir?
I had a good laugh listening to this yesterday on my bike journey to work, don't know if it would have to same effect second listen but I enjoyed it for what it is. Certainly ain't Benji but it was fun.

Mark Kozelek should start a solo podcast in which he talks to a mirror for two hours.
I'd listen to it.
Hahahaha you sunababitch
LMAO YESSSS
i love you chadless
Alvaro Brandan
That extra “b” really ties the comment together.
Only album I've heard that simulated congestion. 10/10
Watch Mark Kozelek diss you in a 15 minute song for this scorching review
I love him but he was kind of a childish dumbass for the war on drugs thing
Erik Frost why? The war on drugs thing was hilarious. People take shit way too seriously, it was hardly a scathing track
@@lennyrose5852 tbh it was funny as fuck, Mark tends to have this dry humor to him.
The War on Drugs guys were in on it. It was all in good fun
Where did you see that they were in on it? All I saw was Adam Granofsky getting really pissed off about the whole situation. @@sabe11a39
6/10 not enough blue crab cakes
Or Spotify, or Panera Bread
The War on Drugs did not suck enough cock
Not enough sports bar shit
Not enough Tenderloin either
Not enough tagliatelle
This is probably the most I've ever been tempted to listen to a 6/10 album just by your description of it, it sounds bizarre
Joshua Pimm just listen to common as light and love are red valleys of blood. You’ll get the same bizarre storytelling but with good music too
@@lukastaylor9544 Already have but I actually found it reasonably focused? He went into a lot of depth but each track had a central theme and even the stories which seemed innocuous had a message, that's what I liked about it. Common as Light was like a stream of consciousness but he knew what his conclusion was before he started, so it always felt like it was going somewhere. TiMD feels utterly random, on listening, the vibe is nice though ig.
I am fresh to Sun Kil Moon's stuff but this album seemed like one long song with different guitar riffs in the background. His stories are cool and all, but I find it very one dimensional. Guess I gotta listen repeatedly?!? @@Swishead
Start with Benji - then work your way out from there. Benji has a lot of replay value imo
Lukas Taylor Totally agree. This album is like Common As... light.
Mark Kozelek/Sun Kil Moon worst to best???? Hmmm melon???? Maybe?
Awwwww sucka, I would dig that.
Ghosts highway > benji > admiral fell promises > april > rest
*Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Benji is 2014 AOTY*

No mention of Panera Bread Not Good/10
I'm crazy about Sun Kil Moon/Mark Kozelek just not as into his newer stuff. "April" is one of my favorite albums of all time and "Moorestown" one of my favorite songs
i really wish he would go back to that kind of songwriting.
Erik Frost Maybe the world has changed and he’s not that songwriter anymore. ;)
Ahhh man. Remember ghosts of the great highway?
>not a 10
DISREGARDED
Policeman Planet I’ve been watching Fantano since the start, but I’ve only listened to 5 albums (Got to listen to 2 this year tho!!!)
“Slowcore gods.” Bro, you didn’t even review the new Low album.
The next sun kil moon record should be completely instrumental
No lyrics
Only slightly related but Si Paloma is a great instrumental by him
Oracle Nova And it should be a collab with Kanye.
I went to LA
I went to Atlanta
I used to like Cal
But now I drink Fantano
Great Drake impression 👍
You are smashing it. Good job. *Applause*
I think this recent material from Mark Kozelek works much better as a live performance rather than a traditional album.

Red House Painters is my favorite band
This no lil peep
Garrett Hurtt N O T G O O D
It's funny because he's dead
He's dead?
@@alvinrowjr1651 Yes, he was game ended
@@marioi.carrillo6264 Not a fan of Lil Peep, but joking about someone's death doesn't make you funny. xd
This album has way more variety instrumentally than Common As.. imo.
personally, im in love with this album. i respect you’re opinion but you did not have to call him a “idiot head”
This is the nicest version of this meme I've ever seen
I'm having melon for dinner
Dan Bing not with a decent 7 for a pfp you’re not!
@@hh950 You don't even have a profile picture lmao
No you're not, this is my melon.
Thats not a proper meal
I'll stick to Red House Painters, wow he actually wrote great songs back then.
SLAV SQUATANO
I would give this a BLEEEEEUUUUUUURRGH/10
This album is an hour and a half of just a dude talking over garageband guitar lines
6/10
Wesley Willis/10
Lol true, but I'd give it a 7 personally, imo it was better than Common as Light and Love...
The *Slav Melon* saga continues
I'd say that this's meant to have a bit of a broken aesthetic which makes it quite hard to get as an album, its good for a certain time and a certain place but not always fits the winter nicely
Too bad the sun spirit murdered the moon spirit just like in Avatar...
“That’s rough, Buddy.”

great review! you hit the nail on the head when you said this is like a podcast - what with the book and hotel reviews! No one is writing stuff like Koz. He's a true genius.
this is the worst yung lean review yet mr anthony
One of the most accurate reviews I've ever heard for an album.
Love how you’re always on your game Anthony. This album is very emotional, but then again everything Mark produces is emotional but nothing compares to Benji
This deserved a seven, tbh. A lot of comfy ass instrumentals that I can't help but love.
we're gonna need that glory sound prep review, chief
"Just rambling his way through the instrumentals" Reminds me of some Regina Spector songs. If I remember right, one of her songs is a grocery list or something mundane like that.
Don't forget (2013) Perils From The Sea, his masterpiece with Jimmy LaValle
Just finished listening to this and was wondering when this review would be up. That timing though.
Very good points about the artist seemingly using an album like a vlog or a podcast. I have the same hangup with Car Seat Headrest sometimes. All too often the lyrics feel too self-referential for their own good.
Nice video Anthony, but when you [dead meme,] it was a little too much. But other than that, great video.
i was thinking the same thing, thought i was the only one
You should do a best of kozlek video
Can we expect a Jon Bellion review soon? It’s probably a lot more satisfying than the human condition lol
Review of the actual album starts at 3:25
this album just shows how crazy Mark is. i’ll be listening non-stop though
The melon boy has one more day to release the "A Love Letter To You 3" review. If he does not I am taking over the channel. You have been warned.
Is there going to be an ALLTY3 review?
Nice review. Interesting how it's getting received. Like all Mark's recent out it's totally mixed bag, agree with the take that Mark's music is more like a musical podcast or something now and just not a normal listen.

you gonna review COWYS pt2?
Long live mark kozelek.
Sometimes I have no idea who these people are yet I still watch....
Sun Kil Moon is pretty awesome dude! Start with Ghost of the Great Highway, you might like it.
you should listen to sun kil moon
nah he should start with Red House Painters' albums first
Evrim Enüstün Yuh, Down Colorful Hill is great
A good song to start with would be The Highway Song. I couldn’t see many people actually disliking that song. The instrumental is straight fire, and the interludes are really interesting (he turns a very bizarre and esoteric story into this amusing self-deprecating description of himself)
Where’s that come over when your sober part 2 review melon? I need it
I actually really like his new stuff. I especially like the self titled track. I am a huge fan of RHP and early Sun Kil Moon as well of course. Those are actual “songs”, but his new stuff is kind of like listening to a musical podcast
You need to take Holidays at Schloss Rettershof in Frankfurt?
Yes, This Is Possible.

Hey, what about reviewing Anna Calvin's latest record Hunter? Thank you in any case.
Good review Anthony, but I felt uncomfortable when you said that anyone who dislikes the video is going to wake up with a chopped up melon in their bed.
He recorded this the same day he recorded his Beatles review and obladi obladatano makes sense
I had some homemade red beans and rice for dinner. Can you do an episode of It’s Food on that please? If you don’t Reviewbrah will give Cal a 10
I think Linda Blair is one of Mark's most impressive and creative songs, really enjoyed this album, even more so than his self titled album earlier in the year.
Sun Kil Moon really out here releasing 6/10 albums.
Is there going to be a Double Negative review?
I’d like to suggest the album “Sunshine Funtime” by Glowing Ice for you to check out and possibly review. Thanks!
mark kozelek indulging in some podcastcore
Least Favorite: Linda Blair
I swear our tastes are parallel but on different planes. I agree on the score but Linda Blair is my personal favorite
Are you going to review the Underachievers melon?
Don't eat the album, Anthony. It'll be no good for you.
I saw him live a few months ago and he has a new song that continues to shit on the war on drugs. also seeing mark live play new songs almost feels like stand up comedy
Cool review but it was kind of weird when you talked about killing Mark Kozelek's cat
Mark Kozelek turned that 9 upside down, it's a 6 now. Literally everyone who put out a 9 last year got a 6-7 this year
Omg that's true
So umm.. Trippie's album was pretty good. I'd love to hear some thoughts on it. Just throwin that out there.
I swear you better do an independent review for a love letter to you 3, if that shows up on the yuno review idk man, same with Jon bellions new shit
Benji was my introduction to Sun Kil Moon, and I loved (and still love) that album. It's a wonderful blend of stream of consciousness lyrics and poignant, thoughtful personal observations. With every release since then, Sun Kil Moon has focused on the stream of consciousness part, completely disregarding any interesting points about society or his own life in favor of pointless ramblings about serial killers, fans, and other artists. His insights were often snide, but lacked the lyrical flair or thoughtfulness to be funny or interesting. He doesn't wrestle with contradictions, he just dismisses things.

It makes me think that Benji was a fluke. But I don't know, maybe I don't "get it." Who has enjoyed his output since Benji, and what have you liked about it?
Just go backwards from Benji, listen to Among the Leaves, might help to appreciate how he got there. Maybe his newer stuff's just not for you though.
I've been asking for years .....PLEASE REVIEW THE NEW VESSEL ALBUM. Their last was so good and I'm just listening to the new release and it's crazy.
no mp3 version yet
Your review was far too kind. WTF was this album. I'll take my RHP and Ghosts of the Great Highway, I grew up with his old RHP when it came out, followed his work through the decades and it has been some of my favorite music to date; but this sounds like a crooner hip hop concept album. Yikes.
I thought this album was really funny id give it like a 7 or 8, probably on the same level as April or universal themes
yung lean. where is it?
Haven’t yet watched the review, I’m confused by the lack o yellow flannel in the thumbnail!...
This review sounded very harsh considering it was still a decent to strong 6 in the end. While (or rather BECAUSE lol) i agree with the points the melon made here, i think a 5 or even a 4 would've made more sense.
How could you mess up/cut the intro never seen you do that!

You should review 1981 extended play by I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME. It just came out and it may be the best thing I’ve heard come out this year
Melon can you share your thoughts on Lucho Gatica
Review the new Soap&Skin album. You really enjoyed her previous one.
I seem to have read a rave review of a certain Big Sean record that had been attributed to you on Noisey/Vice. I for one was under the impression you did not care for Big Sean, but one "Fanthony Fantano"--you, I presume--begs to differ. Care to share any strong feelings you may or may not be harboring in regards to that, sir?
I’m really interested to hear your thoughts on the new Muse album.
yo can you please review the Crumb EP/singles
I enjoyed this just about as much as I did the last album. I enjoyed it a lot though I don't think this will be on my year end list.
I couldn't tell if that description was good or not. It's very broad.
Anthony Fantano confirmed for GTA IV remastered.
Where's the come over when your sober pt.2 review
"little girl with a breathing problem" ????
He's singing about Linda Blair in the Exorcist!! I thought you "Reviewed" this Album? Tut tut!
Where is the Come over when you're sober pt.2 review?
I had a good laugh listening to this yesterday on my bike journey to work, don't know if it would have to same effect second listen but I enjoyed it for what it is. Certainly ain't Benji but it was fun.
I love how Sun Kil Moon literally only makes a 6 or a 9, with absolute no in between
when are we getting another vinyl video you Mellon?
His next album will be called old man yells at clouds, with songs like kids these days, back in my day and get off my lawn.
was his dinner Panera Bread?
