maybe it's important to Sowing personally as an emotional piece? given this is Bon Iver I'd say that's quite likely

"Would rather some electronic experimentalism than the third straight "heartbreaks and fireplaces" album"
understandably the band/justins intentions here but clearly they were not self aware enough to realize completely comitting to this direction simply did not play to their strengths and the result is an awkward ingenous and unpleasant project
if they were that done with their original sound they should have just quit and retired the name and moved on
that wouldnt make money though would it

Con, I got you... I don't agree.
"Over Soon", "Moon Water", and "45" are the only things on here that aren't amazing standalone songs, but they are great in the context of the album, they have a job here to either set the tone ("Over Soon"), or to smooth out transitions ("Moon Water", "45") before and after "Circle", which is the center-piece of the album (although not necessarily the best song, just that it's, y'know, "the main event" of the record). "Death Breast", "God", "Strafford Apartments", and "A Million" are basically now my favorite Bon Iver songs, and "Creeks" is great, and thankfully not too long to kill it's own vibe.
Overall, as I said earlier, I think this is his most complete, amazing work.

You can't really argue this isn't experimental though can you
You can argue it's not groundbreaking or changing music but it's definitely experimenting and pushing his sound. I'd say quite successfully although that's obviously debatable.

idk are we at a point where we still classify every album with glitch elements as experimental? this kind of thing has been around for a while now

I would argue Creeks, 45, and Moon Water display this type of underdeveloped ideas. I agree though that they work somewhat well in the context of the album. I just wish he would've either introduced less stylistic ideas or included a couple more tracks that efficiently resolve some of these styles he introduces. Doesn't feel complete, leaves me wanting a bit more.
Circle is agreed the main event altho 33 I would argue is the best track

An artist experimenting with his sound =/= experimental music

experimental is all about perspective and context like Sowing stated. for a Bon Iver album this introduces many new styles and experiments with Bon Iver's existing sound

This isn't "groundbreaking" or "experimental", it's a great collection of songs, from an already renowned great artist, made in the direction that is new to him, which he executed perfectly, thus making it both AOTY contender, and "one of the most important" ones too.

nah, i think experimental has a pretty measurable limit in the greater scheme of musical era

experimenting =/= experimental. I mean it's a term that can be used liberally sure but I doubt this is in the vein of Ryoji Ikeda or Mika Vainio or something
edit: nvm I guess a couple users made that obvious point already itt
