May 20, 201115 yr nice! good to hear that after you haven't been this optimistic to get some.. :) It's also thanks to you. If you hadn't mentioned the new tour dates, I probably wouldn't have known until way after the ticket sale
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. but but remember viva la vida or death and all his friends! it is also more like a full body of work and they released 6 singles!!!:) okay okay i didn't mean to compare bon iver, bon iver to coldplay.. :rolleyes: It's also thanks to you. If you hadn't mentioned the new tour dates, I probably wouldn't have known until way after the ticket sale I didn't know that Bon Iver is well known in public and that so many people would queue to get tickets for them! Thats even more nice then! =)
May 20, 201115 yr disappointed at the lack of reaction. so i'll just talk to myself. a lot of the emotion that defined For Emma seems to have been replaced with a heavier focus on experimentation. it is clearly much more of a full band effort than the debut so it doesn't feel as personal but it does give a fuller sound. the closing track Beth/Rest is probably one of the best songs i have heard this year. a cracking end to the album. 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. I do more like your first impression :thumbsup:
May 20, 201115 yr I didn't know that Bon Iver is well known in public and that so many people would queue to get tickets for them! Thats even more nice then! =) They are here in Belgium. It sold out in 20mins ! When the doors of the ticketshop opened, there wer 50 people queing. I was first in line :cool: So cool to walk past them with my tickets in hand
May 21, 201115 yr wow you're really patient! i couldn't resist! found something for passing the time!.. >>bon iver cover songs
May 23, 201115 yr Almost through my first listen. You can hear he's been influenced by playing with Ryan Olson.
June 4, 201115 yr love the new album, it's on constant repeat in this household. love especially Towers, Perth, Holoscene.. I really can't say I dig Beth though.
June 5, 201115 yr i actually sat and down listened to the album with my undivided attention (something i very very rarely do) and it was a really nice experience. it may not have the same emotion as For Emma but it has this wonderful warmth to it that really wasn't there on the debut. the songs are well structured and very well produced. aside from that unfortunate closing track there is hardly a weak moment on it. it's hard not to compare this to their debut but when you do, it's much easier to appreciate.
June 14, 201115 yr this man confuses me. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYgPge9uziA]YouTube - Bon Iver on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon[/ame]
June 14, 201115 yr Confuses your sexuality? ^^ Can I weep at how flawless and godly he is? Is weeping for Justin acceptable?
June 15, 201115 yr I love the video for Calgary. I don't really understand it, but I don't really understand the song either so I guess it works!
June 15, 201115 yr this man confuses me. YouTube - Bon Iver on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Whaaaaa...
June 15, 201115 yr http://www.scdistribution.com/boniver/ I so want to preorder the LP catalog bundle.
June 20, 201115 yr Woah, he got like 9.5 from Pitchfork. That's like, the highest score they have given this year.
June 21, 201115 yr wow thats an incredible score for Bon Iver. i wouldnt score it that high. at the moment it is sitting on a solid 8.5 to 9 for me. that last track is really whats stopping me giving it anymore than that.
June 21, 201115 yr He was on The Colbert Report last night!

June 21, 201115 yr i feel this album is a bit overrated. anyone agree? in the sense that it is getting scores like 9.5. i agree with you. i still think it is a brilliant record. beautifully crafted and demands patience and attention.
