Arrangements make AND break this for me. On the one hand, they're so unpredictable and stupid they are super fun, on the other... man. They are god awful.



Songwriting is average at best.

@boolin lol corrected



@starless used to be (been 3 years since I've been in a band)... had a couple of years of formal training. But that's besides the point. Arrangements on this are hilariously bad but s'cool if you think they're good. I certainly do not hate them.

hilariously bad by what measure, in terms of the melodies or just instrument choice? because by a measure of just pure musicianship and songcraft they are generally beautifully done imo. closing track is a great example, as is strafford apts

I really didn't think I'd like this very much based on the music style described in the review, but I'm on my 5th or 6th listen just since yesterday and have loved it every time.

musicianship is never brought into question, as you say, it's more than well excecuted... The issue here are the more than questionable choices for instumentation and production. I can't wrap my head around what the hell he tried to do of it.

Returning to this I'm really torn on my rating - this might be a 20 listen job

first sentence reads a bit awkwardly tbh. try: "What Bon Iver has done with his first three full-length records is downright incredible." good review and album tho

Why would I change it to his when Bon Iver is an it



If anything I should change it to Justin Vernon if I'm going to say "his"
