Good review. I am still not fed up with the album and for once a thread that I started originally about Bon Iver got a few members into him. Rarely does that happen with my tastes lol.

It's not as heartfelt but check out Mount Eerie's 'No Flashlight' which has a few similar touches and Pitchfork rubbished it too and that for me is an endorsment :D
 
thanks! im gonna go look that up

i really need to get over to pitchfork, i find so may haters on the interwebz these days i must see for myself:)

I'm gonna download this shit first thing afterschool tomorrow and this review is pumpin me up for it.

Now that I've beat a bad pun to death, back to work.
 
they're all some of the best songs ever. if only he had more music than For emma, forever ago; blood bank; and "Brackett WI" from dark was the night: "The Park" Feist Cover. please tell me where to find more
