Aug 31, 2022Brilliant writing, thoughtful arrangement and production, and a plethora of fresh ideas executed at the highest level. It is the complete package.

Jul 8, 2022I can't describe the feeling I felt listening to this album the first time. It's on of those LP's that are so good it discouraged me from making music knowing I could never reach that level.

Apr 8, 2021A complex and abstract record that creates meaning in how the words and sounds feel, rather than exactly what they say. Vernon's take on purpose of religion is refreshing.

Jul 20, 2020This is truly Bon Iver's best release, no exceptions. It did take a long time to grow on me, admittedly. But 4 years after its release I feel like I can see it for what it really is. It's borders on indecipherable—but when you finally do make sense of the record, it's their most satisfying release to date

Feb 9, 2020Ele tentou mas conseguiu fazer um conjunto de músicas que doem o ouvido as vezes, distorções são boas quando você usa elas com sabedoria, e Bon Iver não usou tão bem, esse album tem músicas muito boas mas como uma obra completa ele peca demais.

Aug 11, 2019An amorphous clump of electronic navel gazing, it is so vague as to barely suggest any points. It seems more interested in complex overly long musical passages than telling a story or something worthwhile

Apr 10, 2017So strong and beautifully constructed. What at first seems like a random displaying of concepts and sounds turns out to be one of the most peculiar masterpieces of all time. The sense of “22, A Million” is something hidden, something that our ears has yet to discover when we first start listening.

Mar 29, 2017A emoção retirada de momentos harmoniosos já seria impressionante levando em conta a sonoridade que o Bon Iver vinha trazendo em seus álbuns anteriores, mas dessa vez eles soaram muito mais emocionantes trazendo músicas mais desconstruídas.

Mar 6, 2017É o primeiro trabalho do Bon Iver que escuto, e suas músicas simplesmente penetraram na minha cabeça, parece que estou participando de um ritual do qual não quero sair. A começar pela capa do álbum que veio carregada de simbologismo assim como suas músicas. Uma obra de arte.

Feb 28, 2017I was pretty underwhelmed with this record. It seems to me that Justin is trying to borrow from glitch electronic artists like Proem and Thom Yorke in order to cover up the fact that the record is full of unfinished ideas. I'm glad he's trying to go somewhere different sonically but I want it to be more honest and less artificial in use.

Jan 23, 2017Bon Iver continues to grow and experiment greatly in all his albums. This album is a superb progression of where I'd expect his music to go, but it's way too short.

Dec 1, 2016With more electronic and experimental sides, Bon Iver still delivered a very solid record. Underneath it all, it's still the same feeling that was conveyed in both For Emma and BI, BI. Justin Vernon has truly reinvented his music and it's a triumph.

MagnetNov 16, 2016Vernon's gorgeous falsetto and vice grip on melody hold it all together beautifully. [No. 137, p.52]

Nov 3, 2016While some may sneer at the glitches and production tricks that pepper the record, thinking them mere gimmicks, those who stick around long enough will be rewarded by a string of mature, thoughtful songs emerging from their concealment, gradually revealing a little more of themselves with each play.

Oct 14, 2016Vernon is in no rush to clear up any of this--to harden ideas about himself or his art--on 22, a Million, which represents an even bigger leap than Bon Iver’s previous record.
