The fact that Kevin has presumably still never heard Holocene is a travesty.

yeo
2022-04-03 12:03:02 +0000 UTCCan’t agree more. For Emma is brilliant and beautiful, but is the rather cliché emo singer-songwriter album. Bon Iver, Bon Iver is completely out of this world. So deep, layered and a transpersonal experience.
Nathan Mandjes
2022-04-02 19:08:43 +0000 UTCYES!! This one! It’s arguably the best live recording of Bon Iver on Youtube. NPR for the win.
Nathan Mandjes
2022-04-01 07:35:48 +0000 UTCThere is so much to discover and decipher about the band Bon Iver. And they are not easy listening albums. Great video guys.

Tanner Brown
2022-03-26 13:02:41 +0000 UTCwas screaming through the screen to put the lyrics away! bon ivers magic is something that unravels as u get to know it. also think the progression to this third album is super important in appreciating it as well. thanks for listening regardless x
Nat Dwelly
2022-03-24 15:33:44 +0000 UTCIm so in love with this album, saw them live shortly after it was released
Malakai
2022-03-23 16:09:23 +0000 UTCHonestly 22, a million is one of my favorite albums of all time. I understand some people don't like it cuz its so weird but its always kinda clicked w/ me.
Benjamin Gopoyan
2022-03-20 22:06:18 +0000 UTCI always imagined Ed Sheeran and Bon Iver duetting on 715 Creeks.

Kinsey Manno
2022-03-18 05:40:36 +0000 UTCDefinitely should check out his debut album
Tristan Brown
2022-03-18 03:17:19 +0000 UTC"Is that how it's supposed to sound?" encapsulates everyone's first listen of 22, A Million lol I remember reading that they recorded to tape, crumpled it up, wrote on it, etc and played it back for some tracks. Agree with others that the 2 earlier albums are much more first listen friendly and absolutely worth checking out.

smokey_vibez
2022-03-16 13:52:13 +0000 UTCWhile I love 22, A Million, I feel like his self-titled album still is Bon Iver's masterpiece and an album that's way easier to get into on first listen. Might be worth checking this on out!
Mathieu Dionne
2022-03-15 15:31:22 +0000 UTCThis a top 5 album for me, so I'm glad you guys did this one! Here's a great article that will give you a deeper appreciation of the sounds and how exactly they were made. It also gives some more background on the overall story of the album. https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/inside-track-bon-iver-22-a-million

2022-03-15 15:13:12 +0000 UTCHe didn’t he just said he didn’t want to go through the 45 minutes of research to google his name and then find something happened is all
Nick Ralston
2022-03-15 15:09:57 +0000 UTCAt least they did Phoebe that album rules
Fred
2022-03-15 08:07:42 +0000 UTCDefinitely not enough female artists, but olivia is on the track of what your dad might enjoy

Jayde Laws
2022-03-15 08:02:22 +0000 UTCI understand totally that this album is hard to digest, and if you want to try to understand it a little bit more I would go watch the renditions of these songs here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJNi7aRwUzU&t=2792s I think watching them live will help a little bit, I love Bon Iver and a major part of it is because Justin Vernon and the band are extremely talented and clearly care about their craft a lot.

Ethan Blart
2022-03-14 22:46:36 +0000 UTCI Love your content, i'd like you to listen to the two Joji's albums, or at least his second album "Nectar". You can see with that the fast and amazing musical evolution that he has had
Adrivarix
2022-03-14 20:49:16 +0000 UTCThis is a great interview/press conference he did when the album was released - might give more context to this album! https://youtu.be/eNqCVfC4oj4
Allie
2022-03-14 20:41:54 +0000 UTCjust subscribed and this was going to be one of my first requests. thank you
Zach Berry
2022-03-14 19:46:06 +0000 UTCWatching this video, this is exactly who I thought of, a good balance of experimental with beautiful vocals and instrumentation.
Tim P
2022-03-14 15:46:49 +0000 UTCWatching this video actually reminded me and honed in on what I loved about this album when I first listened to it. I'd love to hear your reaction to his debut album - his vocals are super raw and beautiful on that, and the album gives you context on his original musical style this is a great version of skinny love from that album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLOr_FrJJWA

2022-03-14 15:08:33 +0000 UTCHated this album on my first listen, but the more i listen to it the deeper i fall in love with it

Cameron Ackerman
2022-03-14 09:02:21 +0000 UTClooking forward to the rest of his discography if you guys are gonna do it. he's an amazing artist
Cameron Ackerman
2022-03-14 08:56:36 +0000 UTCalso "29 #strafford apts" is such a special song. happy you thought the same
Chives, the Band
2022-03-14 06:51:30 +0000 UTCnot an original comment at this point but needs to be said: go through the rest of Bon Iver's catalogue. Kevin will be blown away with For Emma and Bon Iver, Bon Iver. Btw- thanks for this. Love when y'all do a change of pace for albums like this.

CFH
2022-03-14 05:53:13 +0000 UTCI think he needs to listen to For Emma or Bon Iver, Bon Iver to understand what a musical talent Justin is. Or at least listen to his AIR Studios Jagjaguwar Session version of Wash.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di4sQKy_VI4
Ron LaFlamme
2022-03-14 02:52:13 +0000 UTCif you want to give Bon Iver I would suggest listening to this live performance of 22, A Million plus other stuff but it really shows the emotion of the album. Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJNi7aRwUzU&t=2797s&ab_channel=NPRMusic
Jamie Bekins
2022-03-13 22:39:47 +0000 UTCBlood Bank would be a cool patreon only as far as Bon Iver goes
Zachar T
2022-03-13 22:33:18 +0000 UTCWhy did he say Sufjan also has allegations? He doesn’t have any that I could find
Fred
2022-03-13 22:27:57 +0000 UTCThank you for covering this album!! 🥲 Took time to grow on me too, but became one of my favorites! Lyrics seem to have a lot of references that only make sense to him, but music & ways he sings is what made me connect emotionally to it. It reminds me of struggling with anxiety & how frustrating/confusing that can be, but then having little moments where you see the beauty in people/the world - like all of those feelings happening at once. Ugh, I love it! Highly suggest this NPR concert for the live versions: https://youtu.be/YJNi7aRwUzU. No worries if it’s just not your cup of tea though!! 🤗
Allie
2022-03-13 22:08:48 +0000 UTCGod, this album is the closest thing I’ve seen to perfection.
Dre
2022-03-13 21:19:24 +0000 UTCThis content is really good for my mental health tbh. Please take a puff and do a Kurt Vile record.
Zachar T
2022-03-13 19:15:15 +0000 UTCYou guys should check out James Blake!! His 2019 album is great with some awesome features!
Zoë
2022-03-13 17:39:58 +0000 UTCany brockhampton album!
slow chaz
2022-03-13 17:19:22 +0000 UTCI really hope you end up checking out For Emma, Forever Ago aswell, i really think you'd like it!
Whoops
2022-03-13 17:00:10 +0000 UTCI think he would connect a lot more with for emma on first listen. Hoping you do a reaction to for emma soon, I LOVE that record.
Jackerco
2022-03-13 16:08:26 +0000 UTCHi! Would love to see you react to Black Messiah by D'Angelo
erick guerrero
2022-03-13 14:59:04 +0000 UTCWould love a Sigur Ros reaction from you guys. Like BlockchainV said, Agaetis Byrjun is usually seen as their best album, but Takk... is my favorite together with Med Sud i Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust. They're a band that sing in Icelandic, but for Takk... they combined Icelandic with a lot of non-language existing of very cool melodies, which they called Hopelandic. I feel like you both would really like Sigur Ros, would be a really cool reaction.
Koen
2022-03-13 11:55:07 +0000 UTCBit of a weird entry point for Bon Iver tbh. Feel like he would love For Emma and his self titled, but this is kind of like starting listening to Kanye at Yeezus.
Nick
2022-03-13 11:20:10 +0000 UTCTakk... is my favourite Sigur Ros album - I can't recommend it enough.
yellowflannel
2022-03-13 10:42:35 +0000 UTCDamn, I just heard that both Mark Kozelek's Benji and Sufjan Stevens were mentioned in the video, hope we will see reaction to them in the future :) Also heard the Sigur Rós discussion - some of their albums are god tier and I highly recommend checking them out. Ágætis byrjun and ( ) are great but my personal favourite of theirs is Takk...

2022-03-13 04:03:46 +0000 UTCOh, and now we need a "Sour" reaction 😂
Lukas Spieß
2022-03-13 03:18:14 +0000 UTCThis album really grew on me over several listens after it came out. I definitely feel like it benefits from listening all the way through, without interruptions. For me, it really builds an atmosphere that I love
Lukas Spieß
2022-03-13 03:17:33 +0000 UTCHey buddy I was thinking as a side episode you could show your dad the Kanye and Charlamagne tha God interview history! Love from Ireland
Jake Bradley
2022-03-13 02:47:15 +0000 UTCI'll echo everyone else here saying that For Emma, Forever Ago would also be a great listen.
nick
2022-03-13 02:28:49 +0000 UTCUsed to listen to this album almost every night to get to sleep, it's so beautiful and calming
jeff smith
2022-03-13 01:01:37 +0000 UTCI think Kevin would like this a lot more if he just closed his eyes and listened to the whole album. It really just washes over you as all you can do is focus on the tiny details in the production. It's that exact experience that made this one of my favourite albums of all time
jeff smith
2022-03-13 00:59:56 +0000 UTCBon Iver's lyrics are definitely abstract. At least for me, it is more about the feelings evoked than the lyrical content. I'm confident this album will grow on you. Thanks for the great video!
Graham Herceg
2022-03-13 00:54:01 +0000 UTCI feel like knowing the progression in Bon Ivers sound is important to get into this album. For Emma, Forever Ago is one of only a few albums I think is perfect so would love a reaction of that.
Gabriel Macdonald
2022-03-13 00:35:26 +0000 UTCMy favourite album ever, so happy to see you guys listen to it!!
Ben Martin
2022-03-13 00:30:45 +0000 UTCPlease react to the self titled album it’s also incredible and I think you would like it more on first listen!!!!
Natalie Slusser
2022-03-12 23:57:49 +0000 UTCGreat stuff guys!! I feel like kevin would enjoy bon iver, bon iver a lot based on this reaction. And if you can look past Mark Kozelek being a piece of shit then you must do Sun Kil Moon’s Ghosts of the Great Highway! The best ”modern” alternative/folk album ever made! (Carry me ohio & Duk koo kim are 11/10 songs)
Onni Tulensalo
2022-03-12 23:41:17 +0000 UTCdefinitely think they would've been better off starting off with For Emma or the self-titled. IMO they're way more accessible on first listen
johnlec
2022-03-12 22:39:26 +0000 UTCThis didn’t stick on first listen either but I’ve really grown to love certain songs and the album as a whole. Please listen to a Sufjan album!! Musically and lyrically beautiful
Uma McGuire
2022-03-12 22:29:48 +0000 UTCThis old bastard doesn’t understand anything! Why doesn’t he grow a beard and use autotune!
RINGER 13
2022-03-12 22:29:23 +0000 UTCdefinitely not one to read the lyrics to. thatll throw anyone off.
Kevin Purcell
2022-03-12 22:20:45 +0000 UTCNapping to bon iver music is one of my favorite passed times
Mitchell Hunt
2022-03-12 22:07:58 +0000 UTCDear Connor. For the love of god, you have to listen to Sigur ros - Takk... I'm not exaggerating, when I say that it's better than sex. I'm sure you'll love it. Thanks for the video, your dad and you once again saving my day. Peace and love.
BOOM
2022-03-12 22:01:10 +0000 UTCAlso really agree with Connor that Bon Iver’s discography in total is really not about the lyrics - the earlier two albums a little more, but it’s more about the emotion in his voice and how he portrays it in his music
Megan Glynn
2022-03-12 22:00:38 +0000 UTCoh my god he hated it i'm devastated
Big Dog
2022-03-12 21:58:53 +0000 UTCAgree with other comments that this is a really hard introduction to Bon Iver! Self-titled and i,i show off Justin’s vocals and emotive music - and I think Kevin would really really enjoy! Loved this reaction.
Megan Glynn
2022-03-12 21:58:13 +0000 UTCBon Iver-Bon Iver is his best imo tbh. Raw and emotional. But 22 Million is also a good listen
Teemu
2022-03-12 21:56:37 +0000 UTCLove that your issue with a father-son bath episode was the risk of electrocution.
Taylor "Armac" Quenneville
2022-03-12 21:44:47 +0000 UTCTokyo is still my favorite version of all time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIi3XT2i0qI
Nick
2022-03-12 21:33:56 +0000 UTCThis album gets better as time goes, but in my mind, it's partially amazing because of the background and prior discography that builds into this
Mitchell Hunt
2022-03-12 21:33:45 +0000 UTCThe album is definitely better on a 2nd or 3rd listen. Didn't resonate with me either on the first listen.
Matthew Korsak
2022-03-12 20:53:47 +0000 UTCI was so excited for this one. 715 creeks is one of my favorite songs ever
Big Dog
2022-03-12 20:50:55 +0000 UTCKevin!! You absolutely need to listen to 715 Creeks on this show! https://youtu.be/qc-r8d3beZU 22:20 in! Amazing, we can hear is voice more
Simon Brissette
2022-03-12 20:42:39 +0000 UTCAgreed! My favorite album of all time
Nick
2022-03-12 20:37:37 +0000 UTCMy favorite artist of all time and my 5th favorite album of all time (Self titled is first) Kevin, I think you would really resonate more with the self titled album. More traditional song structures and it's all Justin's normal voice. 22, a million was a really experimental album and it took a few listens for most people to get into it. The self titled record is a lot more approachable.
Nick
2022-03-12 20:36:57 +0000 UTCBeen wearing my tour t-shirt from this album all day, it's a sign to drop everything immediately!
John Brown
2022-03-12 20:33:53 +0000 UTCYes! Completely different than 22, A Million
Daq
2022-03-12 20:24:14 +0000 UTCI think Kevin would like for Emma, forever ago a lot! It’s completely different than this. Gotta check it out sometime
