Day 15 - love stinks
Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
A Moon Shaped Pool is a fairly devastating take on a break up album. Written in the aftermath of Thom Yorke's split with his partner of 23 year.

Day 15 - Love Stinks!
Fleetwood Mac – Rumours (Warner Bros. Records, 1977 First Jacksonville Pressing)
Perhaps one of the most well known break-up albums? The McVies had just divorced and Buckingham/Nicks had an on/off relationship which resulted in constant arguments (I THOROUGHLY recommend this book for a crazy insight into the group - Storms: My Life with Lindsey Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac by Carol Ann Harris). I have 4 pressings of this album, this first Jacksonville press (which I think sounds the best), a first Winchester Pressing, First UK pressing, and a missprint. Superb stuff considering how high the tensions were at the time!

Marvin Gaye - Here, My Dear
I guess I'd have to say this album is
Dedicated to you
Although perhaps I may not be happy
This is what you want

Was thinking about this one. Was deciding whether to spin the 2x45 or an OP. Now I need to find something else.

Day 15: Love Stinks!
Phil Collins - Face Value
Inspired by Phil’s divorce from his first wife, which is clearly evident in the lyrics of the majority of these songs (In the Air Tonight, I Missed Again, If Leaving Me Is Easy ...just to name a few).

Spin a heart-breaking/break up record
Reigning Sound - Shattered
I don't have RS's Break Up/Break Down on vinyl but really almost everything Greg Cartwright writes is a break up song. Someone hurt that dude bad. Or maybe nearly everyone has.
This is a fantastic album both musically and lyrically...highly recommended. And, Reigning Sound is coming to a little bar in Detroit in March! Wednesday work night be damned, I gotta go.

Kanye West-808s & Heartbreak
We got to see the full on emo side of Kanye after his fiance and him broke up, as well as the loss of his mother. And it was some fantastic art that came out of his unfortunate losses.
