Haha, yes those are the most ridiculous/pretentious song titles ever.
I am really torn on 22, A million. Bon Iver, Bon Iver is one of my favourite albums ever and I was really looking forward to the follow up. I does have some great songs however I am having issues with the electronic influence and the use of auto-tune. Justin Vernon has one of the best voices in music, I have no idea why he needs to change it. Maybe he has been spending too much time with Kanye?
Note I also disliked Kid A when it first came out as that was a departure from previous work that introduced electronic elements. After a few years I eventually came to appreciate what a brilliant piece of music/art it was and now rank it as my favourite album ever.
