Bon Iver's Acclaimed Album "For Emma, Forever Ago"

Luca: L’album è indiscutibilmente bello, ma questa stampa o in particolar modo il vinile che ho ricevuto si sente piuttosto male. Nonostante sia nuovo presenta molti rumori da usura e in generale il suono non è definito e dinamico come dovrebbe essere.

Ben: I bought this as a gift for a friend. Made an excellent present that they really loved. Everything came very nicely packaged and seemed solid. The only thing to mention is it didn’t seem to be a “fancy” vinyl in anyway. I collect vinyls and sometimes they send a bunch of extras. This vinyl seemed to just be the record and a plain black one at that. Nothing wrong with that, just something to note.

Emanuele Fagundes Schaadt: O disco é perfeito, veio com uma falha em Team, mas pouco perceptível. Entrega rápida, veio bem embalado e atendeu todas as minhas expectativas.

Eider Blanco: It was a gift for a friend and she loved it. It came in perfect state and a day before it was supposed too, also the cover and vinyl are so pretty. It has good listening quality and it looks good if you want to hang it in your wall too.

Amazon Customer: It played well. No damages to the body of the vinyl. An awesome album and a good price to boot.

L. Morley: I’ve had the same issues with the vinyl pressing as many other reviews, so I’m adding my two cents just so others will know that quality control is not an isolated issue. The record is slightly warped, the center hole is not properly cut (or maybe it’s just the sticker getting in the way?), and there are some small sound issues. If you’re able to get past that, it’s still the same lovely album it’s always been.

Gianluca: "For emma forever ago" chi non ha sentito perlomeno parlare di questo album...
L'album trappola di Justin Vernon, ma una trappola per se stesso, la tagliola che in parte gli ha tagliato la carriera. L'album con cui ha dovuto fare i conti ad ogni sua uscita, tra confronti che l'hanno sempre visto uscire sconfitto.
Quando questo album è uscito nel 2008 non si parlava d'altro.... di questo album si sapeva tutto, la genesi completa. Come, dove, perchè è nato.... fatto curioso per un personaggio che fino a quel momento era un perfetto sconosciuto....
Eppure, di qua è di la dell' Oceano, tutti a incensare questo album. Le recensioni a riguardo più che un'analisi su un disco sembravano tesine di psicologia e di sociologia. Vernon isolato in una baita a riflettere sulla sua vita e a leccarsi le ferite era diventato il nuovo eroe romantico e "for Emma forever ago" il suo testamento spirituale. Sarà....
Ora io di cantautori più intensi, lirici e profondi di lui ho avuto modo di incrociarne parecchi... sparo li tre nomi per non annoiare nessuno ma l'elenco è lunghino... Micah P Hinson, Chris Bathgate, Elvis Perkins... per par condicio tre nomi femminili e allora dico...

William Steele: Like no doubt thousands of young guys and girls during the late 00's, I got my heart broken to the soundtrack of Bon Iver. I was an undergraduate at university, and as Nick Hornby in High Fidelity observed, it was hard to tell what came first - was I miserable because I loved Bon Iver, or did I love Bon Iver because I was miserable? Did my enjoyment of the album instil in me a subconscious desire to experience the same things Justin Vernon sang about, draped in eerie harmonies, clicks and scrapes, to run the same gamut of emotions, or was it simply catharsis with the pain that he sings so vividly and almost tangibly about that drew me in closer to the warm tones? Regardless, the album For Emma, Forever Ago brings back powerful, if unrefined, emotions. The peculiar flavour of heartbreak, with its delicate, absolute and all-consuming awfulness and despair is a memory that I think we can all remember or at least empathise with. And it's at its most beautiful in songs like Skinny Love, re:stacks and Blindsided, (and Beach Baby from the LP, Blood Bank) songs of anger, mourning, shock, pain, loss, sadness, and ultimately, by the end of the album, acceptance and redemption. It's an...
