    22, A Million is the third studio album by American indie folk band Bon Iver, released on September 30, 2016.[3] It was recorded in Justin Vernon's April Base studio in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and marked a shift in the band's sound, incorporating elements of electronic music and hip-hop production, and making extensive use of samples, synths, brass instruments and effects. Vernon has said that many of the sounds on the record were created and manipulated using a Teenage Engineering OP-1 synthesizer, along with software designed specially for the band by Chris Messina, dubbed the "Messina". On August 28, 2016, all but one of the ten tracks were made available after an error occurred on Apple Music in Denmark. The single that was meant to be available, "33 “GOD”", was the only song unavailable, until the day after, when the album was officially leaked in full following the single's international release, barely over a month before its official release date of September 30. Even after it was taken down in Denmark, low quality MP3s and zip files began circulating on the Internet.
    First premiered at Vernon's Eaux Claires Music Festival, the album debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200 and received widespread acclaim from critics, who praised its original sound and colorful lyricism. Several publications, including Pitchfork, Rolling Stone and The Guardian, listed 22, A Million as one of the best albums of 2016. It also received nominations for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Recording Package at the 2017 Grammy Awards. In 2019, Pitchfork and Rolling Stone included it in their list of best albums of the decade, at number 91 and 47, respectively.

Around 2018 ish i was super into Frank ocean’s blonde, tlop era kanye and stuff like that and i was desperately fiending for alternative type music that blended autotune, bassy production and what not, then somebody recommended this to me and I was instantly hooked, it was the perfect amount of weirdness I wanted

    29 Strafford APTS is my favorite Bon Iver song. It's the quintessential example of how much emotion a song can communicate simply by its soundscape alone. Ultimately that's what I think is the point of the whole record. Don't even have to know what the lyrics are or mean. Just beautiful like a piece of visual art

    this album really proves the human neurological ability to expect familiarity when listening to music, and when it isnt familiar, it doesnt stick to us whatsoever, and it's why when you re-listen to something again and like it more, its because you could expect what is coming. Your dad saying how it isnt connecting is exactly what most of us felt when we first listened to it, and when you listen again you can go in with trained ears and can connect to it more. It's why pop music is so easy to listen to, because your brain has a pretty good idea about what is coming next. Love this album, it's just extremely overwhelming in the first half. The calmness of the second half is what brought me back to listen to it again.

    My ex gf sat with me and listened to this when I got the vinyl. Part way through 33 GOD, she says "his lyrics don't make sense." I smiled. Later on, part way through 8 (circle), she was feeling every word. Vernon's lyrics don't make linear sense, but he finds evocative phrasing and ways to string together images that, as a whole, somehow makes *emotional* sense. This record in particular is a rewarding re-listen to find those moments.

    When your dad was talking about wanting to hear some of the more powerfully sung lyrics in Creeks, it's interestingly one of the songs that sound amazing live even if you wouldn't immediately think so b/c of the autotune/vocoder. The live recordings of his concert footage of Creeks consistently amazes me, you can hear the rawness of Justin's voice mixed with the more "artificiality" of the vocoder! Would definitely recommend listening to the NPR version!

    Really glad you guys uploaded this even though much of it Kevin didn't connect with. Also glad you made clear to him that this album purposely doesn't have relatable lyrics or easy access instrumental parts, so the disconnection is understandable. In the grand scheme of things, he liked more songs or more aspects of songs than I expected, because also for me it was tough to get into. Would love to hear you guys listen to For Emma, Forever Ago sometime in the future, or perhaps i,i or Bon Iver. Thanks for the video.

    I definitely didn't love this album the first time I heard it. But then I listened again, and again, and again, and soon I found myself crying to every song. It was very helpful for me to look up the meaning in his lyrics. His writing style is very similar to poetry, and you have to really break it down to understand. But he's speaking of things that everyone can relate to. Love, loss, faith, and life. This and I,I are my favorite albums of his

      Also, I highly recommend just listening to the whole album either by the ocean or on a hike. Anywhere in nature really. Its a truly religious and spiritual experience

    It’s amazing to be apart of watching Kevin experiencing all these gems that have been hidden from him. He definitely definitely deserves to listen to the masterpiece that is, Burial’s Untrue. I have probably all ready mentioned it in the comments on other videos, but I feel like it would be a shame if he never gets to experience it. Plus the record is turning 15 this year, so it would be a great time to do it now too. The video was fantastic as usual, I haven’t actually heard 22, A Million front to back before, so I guess it was as big of an experience for me.

    I’ve been waiting for this reaction because this is my favourite album of all time. I think it’ll be interesting to see what Kevin says about the first two albums in comparison to this one. I love this album for the reason that the lyrics can be so applied to anything and connect with it in entirely different ways so it’s interesting to see someone be completely put off by not automatically connecting to the lyrics, it’s awesome! Keep it up guys!

    I remember listening to this album for the first time and being blown away, immediately fell in love. What's genius, in my opinion, is that the lyrics are not independent from the music. They make much more "emotional" sense when coupled with the music. It's abstract art at its best.

  • @mairtintorpey

    This reminds me how i felt when i heard this album for the first time. I didn't quite 'get it'. If you haven't seen it already. I highly recommend watching Bon Iver's live concert on the NPR Music channel. It features live versions of a lot of the songs on this album. It made me absolutely fall in love with Bon Iver and really helped me appreciate this album and them as artists a whole lot more. It is one of my favorite videos and I still watch it pretty much every month.

  • @calebsivyer
    @calebsivyer 2 года назад +3

    In a world of instant, tailored gratification - or the promise that everything of value should give instantaneous and comforting pleasure - it's refreshing to encounter a piece of art that takes time and patience and a spirit of generosity to appreciate. It asks something of us with no promise of pleasure but it gives back to us if we can listen and wait.

    First listened when it was released and wrote it off as being weird for 5 years, then listened to full album start to finish while falling asleep - haven’t stopped listening since.
    The first time you listen you compare to other more standard song structures and techniques so it seems strange, but then when you “get” that this is something different, and that’s part of why it’s good, you can’t stop listening.
    Great vid guys 👍

  • @rachelcornwell5218

    Personal favorite album of mine, but it definitely makes more sense in the context of the rest of bon iver’s discography. To see him go from acoustic albums to this and to see Kanye’s influence throughout his musical arc is fascinating in itself. The poetry took me a bunch of listens to digest and find meaning in but the more you listen, the more it makes sense. Fun to see Kevin’s first reaction since I forgot that I wasn’t in love with the album on the first listen either!

    When I initially listened to this album I only really liked 33 god and Stanford apartments because I was coming in with for Emma expectations. It took a while but now I love every song. I think the mastery of this album is that you are able to feel such a connection to the beautiful music in absence of coherent lyrics that makes sense. It’s a testament to the production that bon iver doesn’t need lyrics that make sense in order to convey the feeling he is trying to communicate

  • @extra2739
    @extra2739 Год назад +3

    I LOVE this album, it has the Bon Iver vocals that we all know and love but with a somehow a vastly different sound. I LOVE when artists experiment with cool new sounds and I think that this album is a perfect example of that. I still think that you should do an episode with some of justin vernon's other work. I think that for Emma or Bon Iver Bon Iver are able to be more easily digested on the first listen.

  • @rickentee
    @rickentee 2 года назад +8

    Only a few tracks into the vid but I had to come to the comments just to share how much I love this album and love 715 - Creeks. That song is one of those tracks that never fails to make me so emotional. That kind of feeling where you don’t quite cry but are just flooded with emotion you can feel welling up in your chest. The vocals, melody and vocal modulation are just so powerful.
    Also totally understand why Kevin isn’t vibing with this record so far. It was THE most inaccessible Bon Iver album for me, didn’t like it when it first came out. Took me a while to come around but now I truly love it.

  • @hellraise22
    @hellraise22 2 года назад +1

    Oh man, this is one of those albums in my head that I always wanted a reaction for. This album took me around 20 listens to really grasp it, because I wasn't expecting the random structures and vocoder. Seeing your dad be both confused and in awe at the same time was my reaction the first few listens. I'm really excited to see your dad react to their other albums. Even more-so than that would be seeing his reaction to that Illinoise LP in the background. Keep up the content, it's good stuff.

    this is one of my favorite albums of all time. It was the only thing that got me through a terrible first year of college before I ended up having to drop out due to mental health stuff. now I'm graduating finally and it holds such a dear place in my heart. a lot of nostalgia watching you two listen. I relate to dad, I am a BIG lyric person. this album, however, is one of the few that I relate musicality and sonically to. so good.

  • @TheCyberHawk1
    @TheCyberHawk1 2 года назад +13

    This album for me is the musical embodiment of going through a deppressive episode. You start out fine (not great) with 22, and you slowly cycle down to your lowest point in Moon Water and then you make it through Moon Water and transition into 8 and it feels like a healing process is beginning. Then in the middle of 8 you sort of emerge reborn. You've learned and grown and you feel a sense of direction moving forward.

  • @charloulaurin

    I'm suprised you started bon iver with this album! clearly their most experimental. I would've tought Emma Forever Ago would be a great start to bon iver. but fun fact this album is my favorite of their discography. hearing about your father not liking the autotune much, i think he would like their self titled album or emma forever ago. you clearly have to make him react to one of those!

Bon Iver took a real left turn from their sophmore album, and I think they managed to create a sound thats never been done before. This is really an album you have to listen to multiple times in order to fully appreciate every element. Definitely check out some of their older work too, cuz theres lots of neat stuff.

    Y'all Gotta listen to the new Dijon album. He is doing a lot in the way of how he mixes his tracks, and how he records them. He is also a bit of a disciple of Bon Iver's. The new album is called absolutely. There is also a live version of some of the tracks up on his youtube channel in the form of a short film, which I think may have been inspired by the Film called The Waltz which was directed by Martin Scorssesse and is a film display the last performance of The Band, who are another one of Dijon's influences.
