I quite liked the combination of blue rock and psych/prog rock, but I didn't think it really meshed. All the songs were one genre or the other, but never really both.

Favorite Song: Waiting for the Sun

A really simple album production wise. It's nice to hear but is pretty one note. However, my girlfriend liked a few songs from it, so that's neat

Favorite Song: Needle of Death

Pretty safe and standard, but not everything needs to be groundbreaking. He has a great voice. Excellent music to just kinda chill out to, especially late at night.

Favorite Song: Babylon

I appreciated how different this album was from a lot of the rest of the stuff on here. The vibrato was a bit annoying, but only at a few moments.

Favorite Songs: Fistful of Love

Honestly more rock than funk at times, but it's still very funky. The opening tracks are the strongest by far, with the album not really living up to the promise of those two songs. A great way to start the day

Favorite Songs: Maggot Brain, Can You Get to That

It came and it went. I love this type of stuff usually, but this album just didn't do it for me. Gave it two listens, but nothing stuck

Favorite Songs: Fade Away

Had to give this two listens to get it. I really like the vibe and some of the songs on here are great, but I just don't think I love it as much as I want to

Favorite Songs: Running Up That Hill, Waking the Witch

I got it a little more than other Jam Bands I've listened to, and there are some great moments, but it's just background noise for a lot of it.

Favorite Song: You Don't Love Me, The Whipping Post

Cool sound, and I really liked it at the start, but this album is pretty one-note. Maybe I just didn't listen hard enough, but nothing really changes or develops throughout the album.

Had to come back to this several times. This album has slowly grown from a 3 to a 5 for me. I just can't stop coming back to it every few months.

Favorite Song: Station to Station

FragileYes

Rated 8/10

A really strong opening song for an album. It's between a 3 and a 4, but I really love the beginning. We'll see how my feelings change over time

Favorite Song: Roundabout

Some great Synth Pop to start my day. Nothing too exceptional beyond the title track, but the energy of the album is fantastic

Favorite Songs: Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), Love is a Stranger

I had heard several of these songs before and was pretty excited to listen to this album. Unfortunately, I had really already heard all the songs worth listening to. Fleet Foxes just have this wonderful sound that kind of washes over you. Not as excellent as I hoped, but still a great album

Favorite Songs: White Winter Hymnal, Ragged Wood, Blue Ridge Mountains
