Fleet Foxes Crack-Up

So far I can't tell if it is much better than the leak except that it doesn't have weird glitches at the song changes.

fuck this album and everyone involved in the making.

nu-males, come at me!

>>73393496
you're such a dirty little (You) slut.

>>73393465

>>73393465
Why is it hyphenated?

>>73393564
to attract nu-males

>paying for a Nu-male Foxes album

>>73393496
well my wife's son and i listened to it on the way to xer hormone treatment this morning and we both liked it. no member of the alt right internet hate machine can stop us from having a bond over this album.

if fleet foxes are nu-male core, what isnt nu-male core?

>>73393583

good thing I'm not a member of that

>>73393724
probably to be distinct from the essay. also Robin mentioned the initials "CU" also fit for the uni he went to.

>>73393722
grimes

AOTY. Kept Woman and On Another Ocean are two of their best songs ever.

>>73393781
So they think they're above F. Scott Fitzgerald? How will their nu-male fanbase take this?

>>73393887
oh man seeing you so thirsty for these (You)'s get's me so hard baby

>>73393831
I actually think Third of May is the best the album has to offer

This album makes everything Josh Tillman has done as FMJ look like fucking child's play.

>>73393917
FJM*

>>73393907
The title track is better than Third of May, imo.

I listen to this from months so how can IT be released today?

>>73393479

I've been listening to the leak for weeks. Should I delete it from my library and download the official album?

>>73393917
they're not even remotely comparable

>>73394145
you know he used to be in Fleet Foxes, right?

>>73394145
He was in the band, and his first album as FJM was called "Fear Fun" which is an alliteration for Fleet Foxes. He's just a salty, reactionary piece of shit that did too many methamphetamines. Robin is infinitely more talented, mature and collected as an individual.

9/10

starting from Third of May and ending with Crack-Up it's 10/10. prior to Third of May it's a little slow and meandering but when it gets there its fucking beautiful.

>>73393897
lol, that wasn't even me then. I do endorse that post though.

>>73393465
CD is losless wav?

>>73394315
t. nu-male

>>73394349
t. lonely faggot

>>73394347
Yes? That's how all CDs are.

>>73394355
>projecting this hard

Don't believe me that Fleet Foxes is nu-male music? Go to Instagram and search by tags fleetfoxes or crackup. click on some of the photos and check the user's page out. you tell me they're not nu-males. I dare you to even try. And I'm not talking about one example, I'm saying by and large.

>>73394430
it's really pathetic how hard you're trying

>>73394430
ooh baby I'm gonna fuckin cum if you keep begging for all these (You)'s

>>73394443
>how hard

>implying

wow

i guess you can be 31 years old but becoming a first-year university student will still make you sound exactly like one

>>73394430
Yeah but if they're numales why does it automatically make their music bad?

>>73394470
what the fuck does this even mean

>>73394482
please tell me that's not real

>>73394505

I can understand the caption he has saying his interviews have been to much about his life story before the album than the actual part of the making of the album so he wanted to provide better conext...but that still reads like a freshman English major thinking he's deep af. And this is coming from someone (me) who also majored in English.

/mu/ is the only place where I've ever seen vitriol towards Fleet Foxes. They're probably the most universally likeable band in existence, so leave it to /mu/ to hate them.

>>73394728
it's just 1 guy samefagging saying its music for numales, i like them.

>>73394772
I mean I've only said it in this thread. I saw someone else say it in the other thread and I thought it fit quite well. If they were a samefag or not, I'm not that anon so...no. I don't really like Crack-Up tbqh. Is it really that crazy for you guys to understand that others would not like it?

Hahahahahahah, actually sucking the cock of a dude who was bored and sprayed his money on an ivy league school can't be real. You seriously can't be this much of a loser.

>>73394641
Congratulations, you got it. That's literally all that Crack-Up is.

>>73395035
>Is it really that crazy for you guys to understand that others would not like it?
no, i dont mind if you dont like it, but it would be better to provide a reason why one doesnt like it rather than 'music for numales'

>>73395335
I'm someone else, so here you go. Crack-Up is the folk equivalent to modern prog music like Devin Townsend, Between the Buried and Me et al. It's overladden with instrumentation that (in my opinion) doesn't serve any purpose other than to broaden the palette even though there is reason to. To me it seems a lot of passages were written, played, recorded, etc. to be there for the sole reason of being there instead of serving a purpose.

And let's not get started on the lyrics. Yeah, yeah, I agree that Pecknold's gotten eloquent as fuck over the last years. But that doesn't mean his words instil any emotion. Like the IG pic that was posted above, a lot of what's going on in Crack-Up is referential, obstuse and confusing - but why? Because it reflects his own path? I guess so, but heavy emotional gut punches can be done so much simply, direct and empathatically.

To me Crack-Up is the defintion of "Less is more". I'm not argue that the album sounds bad - it doesn't. It's recorded beautifully, it sounds amazing, not going to lie. But what do I care if in the end all I'm gonna get is lush music? Stereogum actually said it best in their preview on the album: Crack-Up doesn't feel like the band talking to the listener but actually talking down to the listener from above. And really, fuck that.

There you go.

I almost fell asleep listening to this one. It was so boring compared to the previous albums. Disappointed.

>>73395470
>complaining about lyrics
back to /lit/ with you, this place is for music fans

>>73395623
Yes, music fans that jack off to the o greatest lyricist of all time, the Peckman.

>>73393465

thank you!!

>>73395470
fair enough

>>73394772
>nu-males can't handle the fact that their band is as mediocre as it gets and there are many people who are aware of that and as a result dislike them

Kys

dumb frogposter

>>73393465
Never listened to a Fleet Foxes album before but I just downloaded the new album through that link. Are they actually good or really boring shite for basic bitches?

>>73396494
they are gr8 m8

>>73396494
Listen to it and decide for yourself you fucking cuck

>>73393496
Go listen to Lorde, fag

>>73393496
I would take offense, but considering Robin has some theory under his belt which helps in composition, I give Fleet Foxes a pass, also they're from Seattle so I gotta love them

question, at the beginning of the opener, is Robin singing with a pitch shifted version of himself or is that a different person?

>>73394114
definitely because of the song transitions being so fucked up on the leak

>>73394482
Ah, big words and references to concepts I might not know, how obscure and pretentious.
