Bon Iver - 22, A Million (September 30, 2016) Album • Page 41

Plus the second song legit sounds like the next evolutionary stage of "Black Skinhead"

 

I just can't stand reading shit like "Justin spent too much time with Kanye, this sucks!"

I feel like JV is what influenced Kanye to make Yeezus. Not the other way around. Obviously Kanye still has some influence tho

 

true

 

A lot of people are saying this album is difficult to get into for him, but it seems to be resonating with me quicker than any of his other stuff. I'm into this one more than I was any of the others on first listen (except for maybe Blood Bank, but that was after the For Emma obsession came over me).

Third listen, and every one is better than the last somehow. Can't wait to get home and immerse myself in the vinyl, flipping through the lyric booklet. Not a lot of records you want to do that with nowadays.

 

this is definitely an album of "moments". just leaves my jaw open as so many different spots throughout the album.

hell, "8 (circle)" has about five of them itself.

 

when Yeezus came out everyone said Death Grips made Kanye do a sound like Yeezus lol

 

Yeah well people who think death grips invented industrial rap need to do some soul searching on their entire existence

 

definitely not

 

yeah i think it was silly too, theyre really not very similar. i just remember everyone comparing Yeezus to Death Grips, just because it was kind of abrasive.

 

Not the record as a whole. But you don't think Kanye took anything from Justin?

 

i mean, justin's on it so i'm sure he had input, but that record is definitely not a direct product of their relationship at all imo

 

yeah i feel like that was the record that kanye wanted to make. i'm sure without justin the album still exists in a similar sound.

 

i think Strafford just passed Circles for my current favorite on this album. i just LOVE the locals. does anyone know exactly which vocal is S.Carey? cause the vocal at the end that gets cracky is Justin with some sort of effect yeah? - whoevers vocal that is, is BEAUTIFUL

 

i dont think Yeezus sounds like Bon Iver and I don't think Bon Iver sounds like Yeezus, minus the songs they collab.

i do think however that JV has influenced Kanye as an artist in general, and vice versa.

 

I definitely think there's a mutual influence from their collaboration

 

@ChiliTacos

did you see that the same guy that recorded this years set also had recorded last years? hearing "89" in relatively quality is blowing my mind.

I'll have to say that I won't question Justin's artistic decisions, but "89" is the GOAT. Wonder why he scrapped it.

 

nah i didn't see that. have a link?

 

oh tight, somebody stole my vinyl right off my doorstep

great news
fuck you Dearborn Heights, MI

fuck yeah man, Jagjaguwar is a fucking treasure.

 

This is the greatest album I've heard in a long time. I consider myself a Bon Iver fan but nowhere near to the extent of most people I've seen discuss them on the site, but this album blindsided me and blew me away.

 

I need to listen to this again now that it's out officially and in good quality.

 

Damn, this is really really good
