Honest opinion November 3, 2008
Monty (UK)
After catching a track on last.fm and locating and putting the album in my amazon wishlist I got around to ordering it for myself, as no one else seems to do it for me :-(
I have given this a good listen a few times and I can honestly say that I think the album is great and the tunes are still going around in my head.

Yep you can reference My Morning Jacket, America.......its just an ok album. I can see how some have engaged this if its their first foray into the world of alt.country/americana/folk its inoffensive. You can put it on and the next thing you know 40 odd minutes have past and you have not been engaged at all.
The production is poor, too much reverb and a just a bit lyrically bland. They have potential so if they suffer second album syndrome they will disappear without trace but i do think they can do something so much better so come on lads do yourself a favour.
Foxes Tick all the Right Boxes October 13, 2008
Man Without a Soul (London)
It took me one listen to realize this debut is an absolute certified classic - the album has a purity of sound and spirit that makes it totally unique in 2008. In fact if you were looking for a debut album with similar qualities I'd have to go as far back to 1983 when REM released 'Murmur' - but of course Fleet Foxes will have their work cut out living up to the impact that band has had.
Although I may feel slightly uncomfortable comparing a fledgling band to an established institution like REM what I don't feel at all uncomfortable about is proclaiming this a near certainty to take the title of my favourite album of 2008. In fact I'd bet my very soul on it!
Restores my faith in harmony vocals October 3, 2008

My music tastes usually have to include talented musical playing ability i.e.Porcupine Tree, Keith Jarrett, Jimi Hendrix, Weather Report etc so it unusual for me to rave about an album based on singing and harmony vocals but the Fleet Foxes have given me an album that I have not enjoyed so much for years. I dont do a bundle on singers apart from Jeff Buckley,Thom Yorke, early Neil Young and Lowell George but the phrasing of the vocals on these delightful songs really hit the spot. Could be too mellow for some but on further and repeated listening it is ever so rewarding. Im raving to my friends(those with musical taste) so much about the Fleet Foxes that I feel the need to write my first ever review. Buy this album now.
