I like it, except for the dog barking.

Downloading the new one now... pretty bummed it took me until a few weeks ago to listen to For Emma Forever Ago. That's some quality shit

^ I should stop lying. I never downloaded it. I bought it straight up from guess-where the other day.
It's great stuff. I like the evolved sound. No obvious standouts like Skinny Love, Wolves or Stacks, but great all the way through. I think Perth, WA, Aus is my favourite track. Holocene is the shit too. And I love Beth/Rest because it legitimately sounds like an 80s song.
So two from two for Mr Vernon. Plus he gets a few sick cunt points for working with Kanye.

Which reminds me, they were talking about Kanye possibly featuring on a Bon Iver song... can you imagine how poorly that would have fitted on this album?
I don't know why, but I haven't listened to the new one much at all. Maybe it's the lack of obvious standouts, but I just never find myself wanting to give it a listen. Probably only listened to it 4 times or so, and nothing from it has really stuck with me. That happens sometimes, I guess.

I have had this same experience with it, exactly.
It's like what LM said about The Antlers. It kind of becomes background music. Always pleasant and creating a nice vibe, yet I'm detached while it's on.

I find myself turning to it frequently, but I couldn't tell you how a single song goes w/o hearing it.

I'm actually the opposite in that that is closer to how I feel about For Emma. I think a fuller band sound helps this record, even if it dips a bit in the middle.
I also love love love the off-kilter drumming (its there on Wolves too). Reminded me of Phil Selway on Videotape and King of Limbs at first, but it sounds great here.

Here's hoping it's just a break. I still reminisce every other day about their live show.
When I first saw the link on p4k I only read Bon Iver "Winding Down" and I got all excited thinking it was a new song

That other band of his really sucked. I see no reason why Bon Iver shouldn't be his primary creative source. The band is too popular? Grow from that. Become a more well-rounded songwriter.
If he's suggesting he wants to quit music entirely lololol he'll be back

I don't think I can name anything Bon Iver have done that has been sub-standard.

I absolutely do not get why Cobbler loves this band SO much, but I do like them and am looking forward to this new album. Packaging sounds super cool. Hopefully it blows my mind and forces me to buy the vinyl.

Looks like a new album is on the horizon. 
I got hooked on these guys from all things the tv show "Chuck". "Creature Fear" popped up and I really liked it, so I found out what the song was and looked these guys up. Very glad I did. I've actually found 3-4 great bands through "Chuck". The show featured some great music.
