I almost never care about the singer's voice in rock music, except when they constantly use a lame falsetto like this guy. Nearly unlistenable for me.

Gaaaaaack! I do not get the love for this dude/band. Then again, I may be an acquired taste as well.  |

This caused a nasty flashback to Tiny Tim tiptoeing through the tulips. Ugh.

Promising beginning but quickly turns into a bloodless bore. This is the equivalent of sonic Unisom.

Having the PRECISE same reaction I had the first day I heard Talking Heads (how the hell can I remember that from 30 years ago but can't find my glasses? WTF?) Eerie, high-concept, good musicianship. Don't comprehend this at all—must stretch brain to hear. That's good. 7.

A little bit, but not as complex or interesting to my ears. |

Funny spoof of Bon Iver on SNL last weekend — towards the end of the Beyonce skit — "...oh no, Bon Iver put himself to sleep...!"  |

Very happy that they won some Grammys. The appearance on SNL was very good too.

Really, really like this album. If you have not heard it in its entirety, I recommend taking a listen. Received a Grammy for Best New Artist and one for Best Alternative Album this past weekend.  |

Perhaps Justin just sings this way. He's pretty talented. But it's not all to my taste either I have to agree there. |
