The Music Rag One Sentence Review: Justin Vernon went to go live alone in a cabin in Wisconsin for three months after life threw him a couple of curveballs, and this album of astoundingly beautiful and personal songs was what came out of it.
Best moments: “Flume” and “Re: Stacks” are quite pretty, but “Skinny Love” and more electric “For Emma” are the album’s more pop-friendly highlights.
