Been revisiting Mark's work and am now a convert to the brilliance of "Perils". As others have said, other albums are very nice but the emotional state required to listen thankfully doesn't come around very often.

Admiral Fell Promises all the way, though Ghosts scratches a different itch and becomes my favorite half of the time.

Been revisiting The Finally LP cover album most recently and it's really beautiful as well.

Album poll is a bit unsatisfying. I like a lot of the Red House Painters'stuff, but think he peaked with the early Sun Kil Moon stuff - April, Ghosts, and Admiral Fell Promises are three of his my favourites, and Tiny Cities is very enjoyable.

Is Kozelek ever going to get the full ILM tracks and albums poll treatment?

I probably totally overlooked this thread in 2012.

Would have been helpful if he retired the Sun Kil Moon moniker around 2013-14 and launched his unhinged blog raps project under a new name. It's exhausting to add a disclaimer every time I need to identify his music as some of my favorites.
