Beth/Rest is like one of those cheesy songs you hear on the soft rock station at like 9 PM, but not shit

Amazing album. I'm not sure I like Beth/Rest, though... I saw him in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. He started playing Beth/Rest and stopped after 20 seconds or so, saying that he didn't feel like playing it. One of the highlights of a great night.

A great album. There sure is a difference between this and For Emma. Bon Iver has a sound that does not get redundant. But he could make his words a little bit more understandable.

I mean. I love For Emma..., but this one seems more complete. I just like it more, I don't know why.

Haha. Yeah, Perth is good. But Holocene is even more beautiful. As are the rest of the songs (sans Beth/Rest, of course)

For his 2nd LP, Justin Vernon does not attempt to replicate the raw, stripped down sound of breakthrough 'For Emma, Forever Ago' & instead turns Bon Iver into a fully-fledged group. A fuller sound is evident here, not only courtesy of a backing band, but also a number of guest musicians. Drums, piano, electric guitars, horns, strings & synth all result in greater variety, without necessarily abandoning the beauty & emotion which Vernon's falsetto brings. While the ever-cryptic lyrics & surprising 80's influence confuse, it is more than made up for by the intricately arranged music & gorgeous melodies. Recommended Tracks: Holocene, Perth, Towers & Calgary.
