Suicide Medicine

An emotional masterpiece, one of my all time favorite albums. While I wish more people knew this artist, I still feel so grateful to have had my life touched by his work. The title track never fails to make me tear up, Montana and Every Red Cent are other favorites, but in all honesty I can effortlessly listen to this whole thing from front to back.

So the record arrived with a pretty sizable wrinkle in the cover and album sleeve. There was no damage to the shipping box which indicates that the record was shipped in the damaged condition. The record played just fine, but I was bummed out by the non mint packaging. I contacted Marvelio and they were prompt and willing to give me either a partial discount on the item or a replacement (if available). I opted for the partial discount because I didn't want to wait another month to get the replacement. I give them a lot of credit for doing the right thing... a lot of places might not have been as willing.

Widely considered Rocky's best record. and undisputedly one of his best three.. Great starting point ....

Fantastic album, gets me right in the feels every time.

Was so pleased and happy with this vinyl! It sounded amazing and am altogether very satisfied with this special edition.

Rocky Rocks!

love it. so beautiful and wonderful. Rocky has an amazing voice.

Thank God for Rocky Votolato.In this era of Chris Carrabba, it seems that every man under the age of 30 who can play acoustic guitar has suddenly decided that they have suffered years of emotional oppression and that, damn it, they are ready to tell the world about it. Behind a nearly tangible wall of tears and embarrassing emotional out bursts naturally. This degree of "emo" lyrical content and cliché tracks about the girl who broke your heart has absolutely saturated the world of solo man with guitar music.Enter Rocky Votolato who thankfully brings a completely mature attitude to the plate. Maturity however, doesn't mean he sacrifices any emotional power. He simply delivers this power intelligently without embarrassing himself or anyone else. His voice is powerful and bleeding emotion, but it does so without whining or breaking. He sings with such conviction that he is demanding your attention, and you are grateful to give it. What's even more welcome is that he is singing about more than relationships. There are more than one kind of heartbreak in this world and Rocky understands that. Topics such as death, politics, abuse, addiction and many other degrees of heartache and suffering are all covered with compassion and overwhelming insight. He also understands that from every dark period in life there is hope on the other side. He fills his songs both with the sense of loss and pain associated with such hurtful topics, but he also instills hope and optimism.Ultimately this is one of the best albums in recent memory and anyone who enjoys simple but powerful music owes it to themselves to give this a look.
