Mac was a wonderful person who’s positive messages almost certainly saved the lives of countless kids. Miss him

2009 on that Tiny Desk is honestly hard to watch

This is a beautiful review. I used to love Faces, though I don't think I've heard anything else (barring some features and a loose single here or there). Something about becoming a fan of someone after their death -- in part, as a result of their death -- bothers me so, so much... But I suppose in this case "respect for the artist" can be divorced from gratification of the person behind the art. Because it's heartening to see the kind of impact he had during his time -- and that unlike with other dead artists, there's no weird allusion to some "potential" as opposed to accomplishments. I think Faces would've been enough to solidify him as something great in my mind, but it's good to see he'd been whittling away at (and mastering) his craft consistenly since then and I'm excited to dive in.

This is still just ok to me. Ladders is one of his best songs ever tho.

Thanks Blush! I can understand the reticence to dive into a discog if you feel like it's jumping on a post-mortem bandwagon, but like I tried to argue here it stands as a great album regardless of all that and can be enjoyed as such if you choose

Jeet, sad you don't like this more but Ladders is a 10/10 bop agreed
I can for sure understand Faces as a favourite, and Watching Movies too tho there's a few songs on that I'd have cut out for b-sides. I remember thinking GOOD was Mac trying to be something he wasn't and pretty overlong, but it deserves another listen from me anyway

I didn’t like this album at first cuz I thought his tone of voice portrayed him as so destroyed and drugged out, I was worried for him... I like this now for the sentiment, Come Back to Earth is fucking heartbreakingly beautiful.

Great review and great album. This my brother loves Mac Miller and got my dad put on to him after Mac's death so I've been hearing this album almost non-stop for the past few months when I'm around them.

Album's great. The first like 5 or so songs are awesome, Kinda falls off after that for me though ):
What's that upbeat like r&b song in the beginning? THAT SONG'S AWESOME

Maybe what’s the use? That one has a bassline to die for.
Intro song gets slept on

I just got into this recently and love it. I tried it a few months ago and it did nothing for me, but fortunately I gave it another chance and now it's my most listened to album this year so far.
What's The Use and 2009 in particular are stellar

An admittedly unpopular opinion about Mac: him talking about his future death isn’t prophetic at all, it was a diagnosis. It wasn’t like “I’m gonna be a martyr one day” it was like “I have a disease called addiction and it’s definitely gonna kill me.”
And his death was fascilitated by the lifestyle he built with his music, especially his earlier stuff. His careless approach to life and death should be seen as a somber lesson, not a heroic deed.
Miss that muhfucka
