BON IVER ARE SHIT

I've tried to give Bon Iver a chance and downloaded their album For Emma, Forever Ago (puniest, twee-as-fuck album name ever, perhaps) for a listen, but I can't see why on earth people like them. And this isn't your average NME reader, they actually got placed in the FACT top 100 songs of the year, which is generally pretty dependable. The main problem I have with the album is that every time I try to listen to it, I just forget I'm listening to music at all. It is so bland, so dull, so POINTLESS that i infact forget there is any music going on and am only snapped back into listening when BI finishes and Bonnie Prince Billy (decent modern folk for any Bon Iver fans out there wishing to jump ship) kicks in. I shant be swayed, and if I am, I hope someone gives me a good slap and some X-Ray Spex soundtrack-ed de-programming.
