 Simply Amazing! November 4, 2008

I can't believe a group of guys in their early twenties created such a masterpiece from the starting gate. I got this album on the recommendation of a friend whose tastes I respect and can be quite honest in saying it through me for a loop the first couple of listens. It challenged me in ways I hadn't been challenged in a while and took me a bit of time to sink into it. It does and does not sound like many artists I've heard before which is a testament to a band distilling past influences while creating something completely their own.
I live in Seattle and had really been getting tired of the local scene here. All of the bands were beginning to sound like knock off's of Death Cab For Cutie or The Shins. While both are great bands, we didn't need twenty of them. Fleet Foxes have taken this city by storm and it will be interesting to see whether they can gain traction with the rest of the country. Part of me thinks they won't simply because they have a sound so wildly different than what is currently out there right now.
I would list favorite tracks on the album but it really seems pointless to me. The entire album feels seamless with each song complimenting the previous and next. It truly is a record that is best digested whole, in one sitting. Time will tell if they can build on this amazing debut, however, as young and ambitious as they are, I'm willing to bet they can.
Excellent Album!!! Buy It ASAP October 31, 2008

If you like Brian Wilson's later stuff (e.g. Pet Sounds, Surf's Up, Smile), Neil Young, The Band, CSNY or any of those legendary folks, than you will LOVE this album. I almost lost my faith in pop/rock and was about to limit my listening entirely to classical and soundtracks/scores until I came upon this album.
Fleet Foxes, Wilco, Ray Lamontagne are the REAL indie musicians that you all should be checking out (well...Wilco is pretty big these days...but you get my drift). Death Cab ain't beans to the Fleet Foxes. Its not often that you get young guys who can sing 4-5 part harmonies, write good lyrics with strong compositions and can do this LIVE without all the vocal processors and BS. Definitely check em out...you won't be disappointed.
Totally Awesome!!! October 27, 2008

I first heard their, "White Winter Hymnal" on Fordham University's radio station, WFUV, about a month ago and was hooked ever since. My favorite is, "Your Protector," but the whole CD rox.
Best I've heard lately October 25, 2008

Fleet Foxes deliver a sound and lyrics that are complex and completely listenable. Great harmonies along with a musical styling that sets them apart from most of todays music. Just a great, great album.

This CD has some really good tracks and some really boring ones. However, if you are into light listening music, I hear this is the 2008 light listening album to have besides of course Viva La Vida.
