Fleet Foxes - s/t

[Moe_Syzlak]

So there seems to be a few albums that are more or less universally loved by the folks on this board. Of those, I'm curious as to what people like from those albums. I feel like I tend to prefer tracks that are among the less popular on any particular album. Anyway, I thought I would start with Fleet Foxes because that album has gotten a lot of praise here. If this proves successful, I will probably do this with other albums as well. If not... well, then I won't.

How the fuck do two LA shows sell out? HIPSTERS MUST DIE

[MrRain422]

How do you know that hipsters bought all the tickets? Because they have the same taste in music as you? In which case, you're probably a hipster too and don't even know it.

[junkiesmile]

Wow, looks like I'm right in with the majority. What a mindless conformist I am.

Oliver James needs way more love...

 

Ragged Wood too

[stickman]

I'm the only Quiet Houses vote? Also I think I voted wrong because I chose that as well as Blue Ridge Mountains. Was that not supposed to happen?

[Preferred B]

After seeing them this August, I couldn't get Oliver James out of my head for days.

[fineartoflife]

So is this album a must buy?

[tangara]

It's all about Tiger Mountain Peasant Song.

[stickman]

I love how (more or less) evenly distributed the song selections are.

[MrRain422]

Their two best songs are on the EP, FWIW.

[blindgonzo]

I choose Ragged Wood, but it was a really hard choice for me. i love the whole album!

my favourite song overall is Mykonos. I'm learning it on the guitar now too!

[MrRain422]

Yeah, Mykonos is my #1, followed by English House.

Have you ever been to a show in LA?

[MrRain422]

Yes.

[markosis]

You just answered your own question.

[MrRain422]

I don't get it.

[cooperissup3r]

i just love White Winter Hymnal.

[Guest Jules]

I picked this up at Charfucks the other day. I love it.

[solace]

seeing them twice tomorrow night

[keeprighton2]

Yeah, Mykonos is my #1, followed by English House.

 

 

Mykonos would be up there but for those who are not aware the second half of the song is a note for note ripoff of Neil Young's 'Ohio'

[Calexico]

Christ, I cannot get more than half way past this album without getting bored.

[Killer Whales]

Mykonos would be up there but for those who are not aware the second half of the song is a note for note ripoff of Neil Young's 'Ohio'

 

Yeah, I really don't think that's true at all.

 

I voted for He Doesn't Know Why based almost completely on the piano coda.

 

And while this is a really great album, the EP is much better, and the album could've really done without Heard Them Stirring. It's a pretty song and all, but the last thing this album needs more of is atmosphere, and this song doesn't provide much more than that.

[rareair]

love this album. last 2 songs are my current favorites.

[ryann7739]

Blue Ridge Mountains is wonderful.
