good break up albums


Recommended Posts

I definitely back Pinkerton, Refused, and Lucero.

Some other possible listening options but not all of them are specifically about breaking up, but I think they'd fit:

-Dashboard Confessional (I mean.... c'mon that guy's pretty bummertown2Klife when he's wailing on that one song... somewhere... just in case you wanna cry it out)

-Get Up Kids (and New Amsterdams)

-Glassjaw (hateful mood)

-Recover (a little less hateful mood)

-Slowreader (all these songs are amazing)

-Elliott Smith (anything really)

-Cursive (I guess the Good Life too, Tim Kasher is usually pretty distraught)

-Joy Division

-Animal Collective

-Built To Spill

i don't know... i wrote this at 4am(from what I can remember) then fell asleep and didn't post it.

Surprised it took two pages for the first mention of the Trio. You could put together a double album of break-up songs from them alone. Cursive's Domestica is another good call. Don't love the album compared to the Ugly Organ but it would be brilliant in a break-up.

Some of mine that haven't been mentioned (that I saw):

- The Appleseed Cast - Two Conversations

- Cross My Heart - Temporary Contemporary

- Planes Mistaken for Stars - S/T

Yeah, last break-up was right around when I starting pouring through the Deep Elm back-catalog.
