this is just white noise. it’s like saying: “I like oranges, but my brother doesn’t.” who cares…do what you want to do and listen to whatever you want. spare us your opinion.

you suck! fleet foxes don’t play YOU’RE type of music, so stop listening to them and let someone else, who knows about their kind of music, write a review that is unbiased!

I have no idea about the buzz – I hadn't heard of FF until I saw a review on the AV Club. But I like the album, that's for sure.

Spot-on. I've been trying to get into both this and MMJ's “Evil Urges”, but neither are grabbing me.

I like the reverb on the vox, myself: it makes the group sound less like a rock band with harmonies, and more like a choir with instrumentation, if you get my meaning. Rather than backgrounding the vocals, I think it tends to spotlight themâ€”it's the sound of a small vocal ensemble in a big concert hall; the instrumentation, as good as it is, is definitely in a supporting role.

That's how it works in my ears, anywayâ€”and if anything it reinforces those Beach Boys comparisons. I heard somewhere that the Beach Boys were one of the first groups to record in a 16-track studioâ€”and their method was to bounce the instruments down to a single track, and use the other 15 for harmonies. A choir with instruments.
