4.0 excellentzakalwe | October 7th 13

This is the sound of unfucked with, raw, refined talent that communicates with soul.

Amazing how "big" this one sounds given its restraint nature. It's intimate, yet extremely powerful. The arrangements are absolutely gorgeous but in a subdued way, her vocals taking the lead when they appear without forcing the music to be mere background. Kudos to the production to allow such a richness to feel natural. An introspective album for your comfysad moments.

Where her truest, darkest colours started to take hold, 'Aventine' is Agnes Obel at her haziest and most grim.

chord left is an excellent piano piece but everything afterwards is just pirate if pirate could play instruments. taking another half point away for it then going on to be boring af

4.5 superbBedex | May 29th 19

This is sweet. Nothing too crazy, and no really amazing memorable tracks, but with a couple
exceptions they are all very nice, relaxing and enjoyable. Good melodies and vocals, I might re-
listen. Surprised this does not have a review yet. 3.9 Edit: ok past Bedex wrong this is lovely,
I don't know why I find it so easy to give 4.5 tier ratings to Agnes but this is just such a
thoroughly lovely listen with not a single bad bit to it, and certainly lots that are wonderful
(1-3, the playful 4 maybe, 6-9,11, idk the whole album?). It might be better than Philharmonics,
or not, I don't know, but I don't quite have the same relationship with Aventine that I do with
LP1 so I do feel like I prefer LP1. 4.3

An excellent follow-up to an already great first effort. Aventine is an haunting, delicate and nuanced album, exposing Obel's talent in the light.

Everything expected from Agnes Obel's long awaited Sophomore album is there, But comes short from her debut. too many filler tracks, But the ones that stand out, stick to you and caresses your soul like how you want Obel's music to do.
