Album #8


Bon Iver's "For Emma, Forever Ago"

Says Pitchfork Media: "It's as if he's trying to inhabit the in-between spaces separating musical expression and private rumination, exposing his regrets without relinquishing them. His emotional exorcism proves even more intense for being so tentative."

Says Rolling Stone: "This album is a quiet marvel — just the sound of a sad guitar boy locking himself up in a cabin deep in the woods."

Says The A.V. Club: "The power is in how these songs sound rather than what the opaque lyrics don't quite spell out, perhaps because some things are just too tough to say."

Says I: "Top 10 Album of the Year!"
