I’m here for all the people getting to hear the singles for the first time! I can’t get over how much I love Nothing Revealed / Everything Denied
"Yeah I Know", "Shiny Collarbone" and "Having No Head" are the three biggest misses for me I think. All three have stuff I really like happening but don't really come together how id like as full songs.
I keep hearing: “I’d like to meet myself, and swap clothes” Part hits so hard though. “Paying for their wealth with their mental health,” is a heartbreaking lyric.
not sure if there any other fans of The Midnight but Yeah I Know sounds like one of their songs, at least musically and i love it
So, is it a given they will repackage ABIIOR and NOACF together? I could preorder the vinyl but I wouldn't mind waiting for a potential rerelease
tell me if I'm dreaming here but I'm convinced they were spinning James Blake's CMYK a lot while they were making some of this
FIRST OF ALL, there is no self titled - it's called Bon Iver, Bon Iver - second of all, nahhhhh lol. At a time I agreed with you - but the insane amount of sampling, vocoder and effects he uses on 22AM sets it ahead for me. It blends Bon Iver with just enough hip hop/r&b/pop elements where it speaks to all of my favorite genres directly. With the type of music I listen to these days, 22 A Million is a much more exciting listen. I don't find myself returning to BI, BI as much anymore. Justin's just gotten so much more experimental than that and that's what I want from him - that Kanye influence.
It's just my short hand way of referring to that one, hahah. Also, it's directly those sampling/vocoder/effects that turns me off that album. But that's the beauty of music; it hits certain people hard, and turns away others.
