| I'm basically in love with this album, and just about everything on it. I personally feel The Flaming Lips have never done better, and I'm hard pressed to think they will ever do better again. This is easily the best $8 I've ever spent. I think this is what music should be; an album that builds on itself and gives you a full sonic experience. The gorgeous melodies, the booming distorted bass, the thundering, yet somewhat subtle drums, the spacey keyboard interludes all interweave to create something I've never even come close to hearing. The Lips have made some astoundingly good music in the past and that is what fascinates me about this album is how ridiculously good it is, considering their very strong discography prior to this. I can't recommend this enough to everyone out there, even though I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. An album in every sense of the word, and a throw back to the Pink Floyd structured albums of the 70's. |

Only gone through this once (just couldn't help myself, but definitely will be purchasing it 9/22). I was blown away. It's an album that has a lot going on. Each song is dense and layered, often with distorted guitar and Jesse Lacey's frightful scream drifting in the background, but a part like this is often followed with a soft chilling lyrical melody. Way too soon to begin comparing this to the rest of the discography, seeing as TDAGARIM is possibly my favorite album ever made, this has/had a lot to live up to. I'm glad I've already accepted the fact that it's different, and I loved every second. A very edgy early Nirvana/Modest Mouse approach, with a ton of their own genius of course. Great stuff, can't wait to fall in love with this.
I have now gone through countless times, in due time I can see this album meaning as much to me as the Devil & God...sooo good. |

| Justin Vernon Self Record |
| I was originally weary of the track list when I first got this, but after cruising through consistently amazing songs, my worries were rid. 'The Whippgrass' is honestly one of the best Bon Iver/Justin Vernon songs in his whole discography. 'Pier 39' is another contender for that very title, and it's only track two! The album does get a little long in points, and the falsetto background vocals in 'Above The Code' could be described in no other way, than annoying. But some of his most intense songs dwell on this album, as 'Sides' and 'Ring Out' for an amazing one-two punch late in the album, both revolving around religion and Justin's despair and confusion on the topic. Both songs find his voice mimicking a passionate yell by their end, and his vocals are with such melodic conviction that it could warm even the chilliest of hearts. Some of the recordings are sub-par, but that just adds to the intimacy of the record as a whole. 'How Many?' is another dizzying highlight worth mentioning, complete with a subtle, yet respectable guitar solo at the end. Overall an amazing listen, and definitely recommended for a snowy evening to cure those winter blues. Oh and the album's called 'Self Record', I feel like kind of a schmuck "digging" the wrong album title, but oh well, I'm too lazy to add the correct title in the database at the moment. Get this! |
