The album is a stunner

I've listened to a few tracks and I think I'll get the CD, but it's too raw to listen to very often. It's brilliant but also deeply sad. But maybe the whole album isn't like that.

Hi Bastion, just very curious (not trying to start an argument) about your statement. Why should it be forgotten?

Skeleton Tree is an album that touches me deeply because of the loss, the purity and fragility.

Well for me, this tragedy is interesting if only because of how recent it is. Having given the album more than a dozen listens, it stands as a far more artistic statement on the subject than the documentary. As Nick said in the film, "the present is far more powerful than the past", and I would feel particularly uncomfortable giving this film another watch in a few years time.
At the minute, what happened to Nick has the potential to overshadow his entire career.
