Free Music Notes for For Emma, Forever Ago
Free Music Review: Can't Let Go
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm afraid to listen to this record too much as I don't ever want it's brilliance to dim. Best thing I've heard in quite a while. Let's see, Feist was the last artist that moved me like this, not that Bon Iver is anything like that and he'll probably never be over played in trendy boutique, but there's something so deep and soulful in the plaintive whisperings on this record. Mostly it's quiet, mostly it's bone chillingly beautiful. I actually bought it with Neil Young's Live at Massey Hall, and they somehow speak to each other with a sidelong glance to Vashti Bunyan's Lookaftering. Take a chance on this like I did, you won't be disappointed. I hope to hear more from Bon Iver!Free Music Review: Quiet, Sleepy, Refelctive

I love this album. I first heard it in a little speakeasy bar in Chicago and I fell in love with it. It's great for those mornings when you're just waking up and you want to sit down with a cup of coffee and stare out of the window at the freshly fallen snow. It's perfect even for those lazy Sundays where it seems all too appropriate to make blueberry pancakes at 4pm-- you know, just because.
It's a great Wintery album with a hint of Spring towards the end. It's peaceful but yet it pulls at you from somewhere deep within, making you want you swoon with him. It is a musical diary of a heartbroken man.
And it is glorious.
Free Music Review: A Year's Worth Of Hidden Gems - A Lifetime Of Enjoyment
Hit: 5 Stars
Truely a hidden gem of perfection disguised in confusion that finds itself free and ready to breathe... I highly suggest this to anyone.
Anyone who knows music, the ones who actually listen to music...
You might be dead if.... you miss this opportunity
I met a heroin addict who said he LOVED Peter Pan the movie...
He would love this too!! - get it? got it? good...
You Won't be disappointed either!
of course if you are here, it's most likely a genuine interest already.
As no one in radioland has been priviledged enough to hear Bon Iver.
IT'S LIKE AN OIL PAINTING !!
Free Music Review: Bad French, Wonderful Music
Hit: 5 Stars
As a debut album, this is one of the good ones. It is without a doubt, one of the best albums(CD's but pretentious) of 2008. It clearly encompasses a personal sadness without overly blunt lyrics, and with beautiful tunes that make puppy dogs weep. It's very much on the quiet side, but some of the tracks (For Emma) use volume to highlight their vibrant nature, or to strengthen impact(Skinny Love). I know this sounds a little artsy, but trust me, this music is great, enjoyable, sad, stirring, and a sure sign of more good music to come. If you don't know who Bon Iver is, don't worry. This music will make you a fan.Free Music Review: Great, just great........

I listen for tone that elicits a core emotional response and, for me, this is one of those rare popular recordings that has it in spades. The falsetto layered vocals often obscure the lyrics which, strangely, I frequently prefer. The full experience of this music is thrilling with an authentic yearning that doesn't require the often shabby symbols of well enunciated lyrics. Do you find that the human voice can often musically convey more when only bordering on intelligibility?
This is a unique album with a wonderful sound that just might set off some mental fireworks for you as it did for me.
