Still, I find it hard to imagine how someone could not like "Lost in the World". That song is transcendent.

I'm in the Rangi camp so far. If there was a version with less auto tune and less bullshit I'd probably appreciate the song a bit more. It left me angry that I wasn't listening to Justin by himself so I'm now playing Bon Iver.

Maybe you guys should try "Power". You get to hear his production and composition at its best, and some of his most introspective and insightful lyrics. And it's autotune-free!

I think I'm on board with this too, I don't feel that there's any useful distinction you can draw between "Generation X" and "Generation Y" (which isn't to say people born during those periods are exactly the same, only that I don't think their differences can be neatly explained in generational terms).

I'm 100% with you guys. But I'm not a big fan of micro-labeling everything. Never have been.

That's such a gen x/y hybrid thing to say.
