Just refreshed my memory of Bon Iver with the first two albums, and they're amazing. Trying this out, and so far it's... very different, but digging it

Not much of a fan of Bon Iver's previous work, but there are a few moments of beauty here, particularly 33 GOD and #22 Strafford Apts. I've given up on his lyrics though. I'm all for lyrical ambiguity and using words to indirectly evoke meaning and atmosphere, but for me there were a number of times where I was scratching my head at the lyrics. I get that other people like the lyrical obfuscation, so does anybody have thoughts on what I might be missing?

lyrics are def not the best on here, but with the instrumentation and overall approach of the album itself, I would say the lyrics fit a lot better than lyrics on his previous albums.

I can't believe how much bullshit hyperbole is in this review.

8 (circle) is a hard slap in the face like 'hey look how good i can be but you only get one song of this then it's back to wank shite, btw i'd be happy as hell if you'd stay for tea!'

I should probably bump this down to a 3.5 but there's just enough there for me to keep me hopeful this'll cement itself as a 4 in the long run so I don't know...

"But that’s what 22, A Million is…it’s ambiguity, shrouded in doubt and cut into pieces if for no other reason to prove that Vernon’s genius transcends mere words."

This review is a joke, surely?

You don't see how utterly pretentious, fawning and nonsensical that comment is? I guess you answered my question.

OK let's break this sentence down.



But that’s what 22, A Million is…it’s ambiguity

not pretentious or fawning, the album is largely ambiguous



shrouded in doubt and cut into pieces

also not untrue; most of the lyrics here portray doubt and the production is intentionally scattered at times



if for no other reason to prove that Vernon’s genius transcends mere words

I take it your issue is with my using the word genius, which is the opinion of the reviewer - in this case me.



Not sure what exactly has you up in arms.
