I miss him.

review of this album: http://www.tinymixtapes.com/Grizzly-Bear,8935

but does anyone else feel like it doesn't deserve the 9s it's getting? I see it as a 7.

but does anyone else hate the production?

I'm not saying he's wrong, but to make such negative criticism after hearing only half the album only once on a bad sound set up is a bit absurd. The voice in this piece bugged the hell out of me, as this guy seems like a pretentious hipster who just doesn't want to see Florence succeed because the NME likes her. Keep in mind, I'm not really a fan of her either, but the piece just really bothered me.

this album is up there with the classic album Glassworks. It's a more mature and complex album than his last and it is amazing to listen to all the way through.

Phosphorescent is great and Can I Sleep In Your Arms is beautiful.

I really enjoy Beirut, but it's tough because I know Zach Condon is so full of himself.

it's true.

Coney Island, set up a guitar, keyboard, and drum and jam in the almost empty boardwalk in front of the water.

does drownedinsound not give scores anymore or can I just not see it on my browser?

it's not trying to be a deep epic masterpiece - it's just plain fun.

but yes, Bowerbirds are great.

any release date?

cowcow. 8 or 9.

I've seen the Shout Out Louds twice and they are hit or miss. The first time I saw them it was basically the performance you just described and the second time they were amazing. at least Lykke Li was great.

I've had this ep for more than a year and still quite enjoy it from time to time, although the album is much better.

and Jeff Tweedy is a genius?! I almost wonder if this guy is joking.

I'd definitely say an 8.

them personally. ex. I dislike Oasis because of their arrogance.

getting more and more like Pitchfork. i.e. if the reviewer doesn't like the band (or their image or popularity) personally, they'll give them a shit rating.

well written, just a couple factual errors. I personally don't agree, that's all.

and 8 probably, maybe even a 9. It's a great record. There are a couple errors in this review, "as if turning his near-death experience (he was given his last rites after a bout of double pneumonia, don’t forget) into a wry reference is perfectly normal." He has stated many times the album was mostly done before his hospitalization and that it did not really influence this record. just sayin'

yep.
