Sweet Album - [26 Mar 2009]
Short and sweet, just the way to make a great album. Blood Bank is a great title track and good enough to enjoy over and over again.

A Reach Into the Future and an Appreciation for the Path Taken - [18 Mar 2009]
Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago was one of 2008's biggest critical darlings. On that album, Mr. Vernon kept things at their absolute most basic. He recorded in solitude on what he described as "a very light set-up" with the intent of distributing the...

Should be 2.5 stars, really, for a half-good release. - [27 Feb 2009]
"Emma" was my favorite album of 2008, so I was very excited about this EP. I should mention, before I get further into it, that I am not one of those people who don't want artists to change or evolve; but I do think the evolution should be for the better...

Fan-tastic follow-up - [21 Feb 2009]
Fans of Bon Iver's "For Emma" album will enjoy this LP as a great follow-up to the album. The musicality & themes of "Blood Bank" are close cousins of his first, but with this small group he takes a few surprising, successful risks that hopefully,...

Not what I expected. - [03 Feb 2009]
I absolutely fell in love with For Emma, and I had high hopes for Bon Iver's follow up. However I was entirely disappointed with this. I really tried to like it...but the overall sound just doesn't gel with me.

You're Going to Have to Try Harder - [23 Jan 2009]
Wow, dude, talk about flame on/flame off. If Mr. Bon Iver is going to be an artist of much longevity he is going to have to try much harder than this. The title track is the only worthwhile thing here, and it is plagued by such awful, convoluted lyrics...

Lovely! - [23 Jan 2009]
"For Emma, Forever Ago" was one of my favorite albums of 2008 and this little EP is a great way to kick off 2009. I'm always a bit worried that a great first album will be followed by one filled with lesser tracks, as if the artist sunk his best work ...

What the? - [22 Jan 2009]
You know Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap? That's what Woods is, except without the fuzz, so it sounds more like new Kanye. Strictly Ok for an EP, but just like the other reviewer said, there is no replicating For Emma. Which I don't Mr. Vernon is trying ...
