Can I just say that this album is absolutely sublime. I've been listening to it over and over for days. I need a way to relax after a stressful day at work, to be ushered into reflection, contemplation. Take your Madonna (can she go away now, please?), your Gnarls Barkley, your Lil' Wayne, what have you. All I ever ask for is an album where I don't have to skip any tracks with beauty, a melodic pop sensibility (well, sometimes), and some substance or depth. There are precious few that hit on all cylinders. Bon Iver does it in spades. Although just for the sake of fairness to alternate points of view, Karla asked me to turn it off because it makes her anxious. Too slow, I guess. Ah, well, different strokes. But seriously, listening to this album is enough to make me believe in common grace if I didn't already. Something Keats said comes to mind...
