Bon Iver – Bon Iver, Bon Iver

Beautiful music, really, really enjoyable. I bought the album based on a recommendation for cosy music albums and it was a good one.
Regarding the sound, yes the mastering may seem strange (especially on track one where guitars sound distorted like) but this is the way the music is supposed to sound. The dynamic range (DR) is about 13 (a good one) and the way the artist's voice and the instruments sound is fairly dynamic, given the music and the limitations of vinyl records. The way they are mixed may not please everyone though but that's another discussion.
The jacket is wonderfully made, a pleasure to hold and see. But the original inner sleeve is a horrible plain paper one, in total contrast with the beautiful jacket. The disc came out full of scuffing but after a good wet cleaning it proved to be very silent. Only a click here and there. Nothing to matter.
A strong recommendation for those who love this kind of music or want to discover something new and refreshing (like me).

My copy has so much surface noise it is unlistenable. What a shame too - this is the most well made gatefold I have ever seen! Very thick cardboard and the print quality is extremely high. Going to have to return it and possible seek another copy.

Super happy with this. It seems other versions of this have pressing issues. This version is clean as others have mentioned already on here. There is a lack of dynamics in the mastering but that’s just how the record is. This version has CM in the dead wax. Perhaps that is why there is more attention in the quality of the cut on this pressing.

Sounds good. The dynamics are not great, but it seems to be a mastering issue, as the digital version is similar. Good pressing!

way cleaner than the 2016 reissue. the other version i have has a ton of distortion on some tracks. this one seems good.
