5/5...? Come on! We surely have to be a little more cautious when we review something as being perfect (which 5/5 surely means?) when it has not even had a chance to settle in its place in music yet.

I think perfect scores should be reserved for albums that have obviously stood some sort of 'Test Of Time', which this album may or may not do.

I know it is merely opinion, but we don't want future generations looking at this thread thinking this is a masterpiece. Seriously.
I think people just get enthusiastic about things when they first come out. After a while things probably settle down. I tend to be more of a cautious personality and I don't like acclaiming something very early, but some are no doubt different.

I disagree, but I believe I have the right to do so. When you have listened to the album more times than you can count(more than 200 times in my case) then you can decide. I personally find this album to be a masterpiece.

This album grew on me a lot over the course of the year. I think it's wonderful and uplifting.

I don't think you need to listen to music that many times. It's not like it's really complex either. Those who have more tolerance for this kind of style will probably like it more than others, but I can't believe it to be the best at this kind of music.

Great album. It also grew on me over the last few months. He has a track titled Calgary so hopefully he'll come here someday.

While I really do enjoy Bon Iver, and even have a few songs of his on my iphone. I usually press the "next" button when it comes on. Unless I am just laying down and want to listen to something mellow.

Great album, I loved it after one listen only.

Great album. Worth a listen even if you're not into this style of music.
I wasn't but after a few spins, its definitely growing on me
