I decided to buy the physical copy of this album before a road trip I took from Utah to the coast of Oregon, with a handful of other albums because I don’t have an auxiliary port in my shitty car. I put this album in after getting to the Dalles on the Columbia river while just getting done smoking a bowl.
The emotions that this LP stirred inside of me blew my mind. It was such a pleasant experience driving that beautiful route and listening to such a great album. Especially when On Another Ocean came on. The random and odd sounding melodies in the first 2 minutes of the track really threw me off and I was about to change the song, then the song finally came together and it was a such a powerful moment for some reason. it caused me to tear up. I’m happy you enjoyed this album like I did but I would give it atleast a 9 but then again you weren’t in my state of being the first time I listened to it 🙂
someone donate some contacts or some duct tape 😀

No, no, no. I should see Memphis deserves more listens because it’s become one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard ❤
Love this album its like prog folk lol
Hey Anthony really love your reviews, it inspired me to listen to new things and even start my own project: Crimson Tears from a Dream. Maybe you will review it someday. Who knows…
You should do a follow up review. I’ve listened to this album so many times I’ve lost count and I keep finding more in it. Good job on this initial listen review though!
Anthony Fantano will you review Mr Bungle? I know you’ve heard of them from your faith no more reviews, and I think it’s something your audience will appreciate. I understand that you are probably totally occupied by all the new albums coming out, but I think considering how inescapable it’s influence on avant-garde metal is its a good contender for classics week. It’s certainly not related to fleet foxes, but through the comments I’ve parsed that your audience appreciates originality as well as humor, and thats exactly the audience Mr bungle is meant for.
Either way I respect your hustle
This wasn’t even the best record that came out this day.
So glad this album has arrived! Fleet Foxes are amazing.
Looking for albums similar to this one! Not necessarily folk, but rather artists who can toe the line between ambient/experimental music with lots of layers and textures while still retaining a strong melodic component throughout. Any recommendations?
This album makes me happy and sad at the same time. And I have no complaints. Drown me in your melancholy filled joyous experiments Fleet Foxes. I love it.
While I expect it to be stylistically different, is it dense in a Springsteen-cum-War On Drugs way?
Can you get glasses that don’t constantly fall down your nose, or perhaps consider washing that oily head of yours? Geezus that’s annoying. Forget it. I can’t stand watching this guy’s horn rimmed glasses in 2017 anymore.
YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FLEET FOXES. PINCHE PELÓN.
Didn’t think I’d like it more than the debut, but wow, I was wrong.
This album is the bomb.com
Sun Giant: 8.8
Fleet Foxes: 9.1
Helplessness Blues: 9.3
Crack-Up: 9.7
The band that just gets better.
lmao fourth time i watched this review
This record is a goddamn masterpiece.
Fantana again with ALL the adjectives
You need to do the new Rolo Tomassi album, it is crazy good.
Please get your glasses adjusted.
This deserves a strong 9
oh hell yes. i can’t stop listening to it
I love this album more and more. In my top 5 albums of 2017.
Awesome review. I love the album.
The album SUCKS. I listened to it the first time today. Nope. The first album was a masterpiece. They got lucky.
You really HAVE to do something about the glasses. It’s insane how any times you have to adjust!
Nailed it! Fantastic review. Agree with all you said. Love Fleet Foxes. Literally yelled, “Yessss!” when you mentioned “Helplessness Blues” was your 2011 album of the year.
Ur a fraud, the yellow flanel means 10-10. Ur such a tease. Ur a fraud.
Kept Woman is such a beautiful song it’s unlike any other musical experience
have fleet foxes ever done anything bad?
You’re getting better and better at making the viewer understand an album and song structures and themes without relying on any music. I know it’s no easy feat so thumbs up my friend.
