May 18, 201115 yr I've listened to the new album three times through so far, and I pretty much love it. It's more experimental, and definitely in a good way.
May 18, 201115 yr The album is nothing special but I like it and I think it is very nice. The more I listen to it the more it is growing on me. They improved a bit and I love how they made those cracking and pushing sounds combined with ambient elements! It is perfect for chillaxing!!! And I agree with Justin that "It's definitely the part where you pick up your joint and re-light it." :wacko: It is definately an album I can always listen to without getting bored.
May 18, 201115 yr I've just bought tickets to see him live in November in Leeds! He's just announced a UK Tour. :D
May 18, 201115 yr Oh that's a long time until then.. But have fun in November! :) Hopefully I will be able to see them in November too (in Hamburg or Berlin)! :D
May 18, 201115 yr Ha ! thanks for saying that they announced new dates! Hopefully I'll get a ticket but I doubt it

May 18, 201115 yr Author I would get tickets to the Bristol show (closest to me) but it's at the Colston Hall which isn't the best for his type of music, there is no-way it will be the old-church I saw him in. *downloads album*
May 18, 201115 yr why not? just be the first to buy one^^ just check every day if they are available already or contact the station that sells the tickets and ask when they are gonna sell the bon iver one's!.. then you will be safe.. ;) well it's quite a small venue (about 2000 people) but a lot of people want tickets and I never get lucky. I contacted the venue and hopefully I can but a ticket at the ticketshop rather than online

May 19, 201115 yr So I listened to it last night, and a bit more today. His choice of timbres throughout most of the album is awesome, as is the way in which he blurs the line between folk and pop (shown in his use of low vocals). That said, I was dissapointed by the closing stretch. Wash. comes off a bit contrived, with the repeating piano and sentimental vocals, its just not particularly interesting, despite the usual tricks. While Calgary and Beth suffer (imho) from the use of outdated atmospherics and pop sensibilities. It may have worked for Peter Gabriel, but the keyboards and accompanying instruments in Beth especially reminds of poorly produced eric clapton pop songs. The cheesiness just makes both songs emotionally inaccessible to me, which is a pity because he seems to be pouring a lot into the vocals. Perth, Holocene, and Michicant are great tracks though, and its cool to see him stretch beyond the basic acoustic guitar and keyboards of for emma.
May 19, 201115 yr Yep I'm listening to Beth and it is disgusting. What the fuck was he/they thinking. JESUS CHRIST THIS IS AWFUL oh god I'm serious. why would anyone do this wtf wtf wtf
May 19, 201115 yr it's really weird. i absolutely loved Beth the first time i heard it. then i listened again and i really hate it. i was thinking why the hell have they written a 80s power ballad.
May 19, 201115 yr I was listening and beth comes on and im just like wtf is this? Doesn't really fit in at all.
May 19, 201115 yr it's really weird. i absolutely loved Beth the first time i heard it. then i listened again and i really hate it. i was thinking why the hell have they written a 80s power ballad. it's funny because you really hyped it for me. So I was getting ready for an explosion of awesomeness during the last few songs, and then it comes on and I'm like :blank:
May 20, 201115 yr BUYA! Got some tix ya'll. I had to wait at the venue 1h and 50 mins in advance but totally worth it! Watching past 45 people with my tickets :p
May 20, 201115 yr it's funny because you really hyped it for me. So I was getting ready for an explosion of awesomeness during the last few songs, and then it comes on and I'm like :blank: haha sorry. even i surprised myself. i was away from the computer when it was playing and i was listening thinking man this sounds terrible can't wait til it gets to Beth. then i get back to my computer and i see......it was Beth :laugh3: maybe i was in a lame ballad mood on wednesday morning when i first heard it.
May 20, 201115 yr BUYA! Got some tix ya'll. I had to wait at the venue 1h and 50 mins in advance but totally worth it! Watching past 45 people with my tickets :p nice! good to hear that after you haven't been this optimistic to get some.. :)
May 20, 201115 yr The new album seems to be more like a full body of work, as opposed to an album with very different songs which could be singles.
