Why bother giving an album that was available in full not even a week ago a 5? You haven't given it time to let it wear out; no-one has.

VirtualBlaze, because this is what it is now, a 5. This rating isn't a marriage certificate, it can be changed in seconds. I would literally be a liar if I gave this anything other than a 5 right now, given how much I'm loving the thing.

"00000 Million" is my favorite on this, such a beautiful song and closer.

I'm liking this more than Bon Iver, Bon Iver at the moment, but don't think it beats For Emma. All three are pretty exceptional and really close in excellence for me though, and that is all that really matters.

Bought this today without even having listened to it, but judging from what everyone's saying... good purchase?

i would start from the beginning and go chronological order, all three are pretty different from one another but they are all equally excellent

I'm finding my second and third listens of this more problematic - it does blend. A lot. Maybe too much.

"Tries way too hard, lyrics are pure piss"



If only for the abundance of beautiful one-liners in an otherwise stream-of-consciousness-style lyricism, this is not "pure piss" by any stretch.



"I'm finding my second and third listens of this more problematic - it does blend. A lot. Maybe too much.

"

Doofus, hmmm, that's strange, it pretty much had the opposite effect for me with repeat listens, at first the second half of the album kinda blended because it's not as "out there" as the first half, but then it got more defined and clear over time.

ABond this is one I'm not really going to judge until i've clocked up 20 or so listens, in particular I need to listen to this in the dark with good headphones, it's that sort of album



I don't think it's a walking outside listen

Green Baron, no, I think the album is simply called that way because the number in the title of the first track is "22", and the word in the title of the final track is "A Million". So it's just a reference to the bookends of the record as a whole.

Or at least that's what I thought XDXD

Hmm, strangely instantly loved the first half, but took me a couple of listens to appreciate the second half too.

I love the drums on that thing when the hook comes in for the second and third time.
