What do you think of Bon Iver and his recent album 22, A Million?

It's good but not as good as s/t

>>69832036
his best record to date, my personal AOTY

>>69832079
It is pretty good, isn't it?

>>69832294
I'm surprised it's flown "under the radar" compared to big names like Kanye, Frank, Radiohead etc, I think quality wise it's at or above every major album released this year

I just love the fact he didn't stagnate, he could have easily made Bon Iver 2 and people would have lapped it up, the production isn't experimental or unconventional by any means but it's a great advance for Justin sonically. I honestly can't say enough about this record

>>69832350
THIS.

His best record to date imo. It really does have a beautiful/unique identity, and Justin has a very pure expression.

In my top 15 this year

>>69832394

so unique it sounds just like james blake

>>69832486
yeah there's similarities but you haven't listened to enough of either artist to come to that simple of an observation

>>69832079
Same.

715 - Creeks was fucking phenomenal. 33 - God was probably my song of the year.

>>69832486
EW. You didn't listen to it properly then.

GTFO with you're James Blake bullshit. Easily the most overrated artist of the 10's in terms of critical acclaim

>>69832519
Yeah 33-God is easily the standout of the album, that or 666 imo

>>69832520
come on JB's last album wasn't BAD, much too long and self-indulgent though

>>69832520

explain how one listens to it properly cause all i'm hearing are old ideas with some spicy dumb ass spellings of track titles

>>69832553
>>69832519
Circle is the absolute pinnacle of the album. I listened to it on Acid and it broke the fuck out of me.

>>69832553
JB is pretty bad mah dude

>>69832554
Listen to it as folk music. listen to how the tonal aspects of the synths, drum machines, vocoders, and autotune beautifully intersect. Become a spiritually enlightened person, because only then will through the knoledge of numerology, will you understand how the track names represent certain emotions that reign through the Universe. It's literally that deep of an album, I wouldn't expect a normie to understand it. It takes a certain amount of installed empathy and love to understand 22, A Million

>>69832036
Really innovative but somewhat lacking. Had some great tracks and some meh tracks, both could've been expanded upon more.

>>69832679
honestly I don't see how someone can be a Vernon fan and not like JB at all, it isn't like they are worlds apart musically but to each his own I guess

but you're right, looking back the best part of the album is the ending to 8 (circle), I don't know how he did it

>>69832679

lol fuck you got me i thought you were serious for a second

>>69832036
loved it

>>69832486
Vernon started the style of autotune that was picked up by Kanye and Blake

>>69832036
Kanye controls hum

>>69832036
Awful, really bad

>>69834545
except he uses a vocoder and not autotune but you know, facts don't matter
