bon iver - bon iver, bon iver [2011]

one of my favorite albums from this year. i like to fall asleep to it

this album

yeah, awesome album. so relaxing

amazing album.

Also amazing to sleep to

I love this album, it stands out from the other ones released this year. Also, call me weird, but I enjoy falling asleep to it.

I guess we can start saying it's this years "sleeper hit"

Yeah, so this is a pretty good album. Very soothing and sounds very pretty but I don't like falling asleep to it.

Ok

Both Bon Iver albums are basically all you need for when you're feeling stressed.

For me, aggressive music has always made things worse when I'm feeling shitty. It just kinda adds fuel to the fire. But I guess everyone's different. I agree about the focus part, though. It's great for homework. I have a good Sigur Ros/Bon Iver playlist going now which is great for thesis writing.

Speaking of Sigur Ros, this might be one of the best recordings of music ever.

LOL

LOL indeed.

Oh and apparently the suite he was wearing last night he bought previously on his way back from a hunting trip to meet his girlfriend. He had splattered blood on his clothes so he needed something nice. Thus sayeth the internet.

And lol at the shout out to Eau Claire, WI.

the suite he was wearing

It takes a lot of talent to put an entire suite on your back.

this album finally hit me like a ton of bricks

i get it now, all the hype and shit

Those dream theatre guys are hotter.

Sure some hazardry.

I guess it is time for me to check this album out.

Not sure why I didn't check this out sooner. I'm really liking this.

I'm pretty bored with this album. It just seems pretty unimaginative, uncreative... very cliche pop music with annoying vocals, and it's not even that catchy. It even ends with a track that sounds like it's straight from an 80s soft-rock radio station.

It's not terrible, though, I give it 3/5.

I get annoyed when he does the whole "oh yeah we're an indie band, I almost forgot the horns"... then annoying horns come in.
I need to rant about indie horns one of these days.

I know this is Tech, but man are you retarded? the songs are arranged like a fucking indie prog masterpiece!

Do you even listen to technical indie prog pop?

People who don't like this album really suck, is all I want to say.

I am listening to Beth/Rest for the first time right now and it's pretty awful

Is there any other track that is good

It reminded me of this:

I'm being serious btw. If this is up someone's alley for chilling out then whatever, but the praise (and even just the descriptions) I've read ITT and elsewhere are baffling and seem to describe totally different songs then what I've heard so far.

So basically Justin Timberlake's impersonation of him on that SNL skit is what I think of him.

you heartless bastard

then what I've heard

Actually, another comparison that weirdly came up in my head was "I Was A Lover" from that TV On The Radio album ... I hated that song too but again the album and band were really highly praised.

Do you like Bruce Hornsby?

Did you feel the same way when it wasn't popular?

how could an unpopular album be overrated?
