The first 45 seconds of iMi is one of the worst moments in music history. As for the rest of the song, it could have been brilliant if it wasn't awash in moronic effects. It has a strong melody buried underneath the pretentious horseshit.

read a review that negatively referred to it as a hippie commune of music, which I think perfectly describes why I love it



^ This might explain why I hate the shit out of it. The 2.5 is inflated as I firmly believe his first two records are among the greatest ever.

There's a reason Hey Ma was the first single. Its the best song on the album by far because its one of the few that resembles an actual fucking song with a verse, chorus, and hook, rather than utterly pretentious fucking trash.

The most recent Arcade Fire album has multiple tracks that give this a run for its money lol

I'll take your word on that one. I haven't listened to a second of their music since The Suburbs.

^ You couldn't tell lol? Honestly I used to be a big fan, huge fan actually. When the last album came out I was ready to slaughter something until 8 Circle and 00000 Million made it a 3 instead of one of the worst albums of all time.



He's also my 13 year old daughter's favorite artist, she was hooked the second she heard the vocal hook for Calgary when she was like 5 years old. I'm taking her to see him in Minneapolis in a few months, and I'm going to get 3rd row or better (while spending a fortune), because it will make her life. However, if he plays a the majority of this hot flaming piece of trash and the last record instead of Holocene, Blood Bank, and Skinny Goddamn Love, which I think will happen, I'm going to go nuclear.

I'll wait until the show is over before experiencing full immolation. Speaking of kerosene and a match, that's what he's done to the majority of the songs on his last two records. Faith, for example, has the structure of a fantastic song. It has a strong melody, and has some great moments. Unfortunately he just has to ruin it by splattering moronic, completely unnecessary sound effects randomly across it. I would say I liked him better when he just had an acoustic guitar, but the second record is his best.



Don't worry guys I'll be ok.

Ok I've calmed down a little. I realized I'm carrying over my frustration with The National and combining it into one. Both are 2 of my all time favorite artists, and both have released two consecutive shitty arty albums. As for the the National, I still miffed that I drove 10 hours to see them in Chicago where they played not 10, but 11 songs from I am Easy to Find, which has precisely two good songs.

I don't know if I'd call For Emma or Bon Iver, Bon Iver vapid. If they are, I'll take it. Both are infinitely better than this or 22. This album could have been great actually if he would have just left the songs alone.

hey pots

Bon Iver is terrible at experimentation. Justin Vernon could be a nice acoustic musician if he stuck to that.

I'm going to blame Kanye. He's the one that got Vernon obsessed with vocal sound effects. I also just like to blame Kanye for random shit.
