I don't get how people can rave about Fleet Foxes. seriously just absolutely boring, drab, drawn out echo-y "folk" music if you can call it that. There are so many bands that do this way better (Bon Iver, Rural Alberta Advantage, Volcano Choir) and I don't even like 2 out of those three.
They are literally the 1% milk of bands -- yeah it exists but theres no real justification for it
What's yours?
Congrats on not liking a thing

I never got into Helplessness Blues but their debut has everything I could ask for in a modern folk record– great songwriting, instrumentation, harmonies, and production.
Tiger Mountain Peasant Song and The Shrine / An Argument are good songs. Else than that, I agree. They can be really boring.
I drink 1%

It's just that second album. The first and the ep were great.
>thinking Rural Alberta Advantage is even remotely similar to Bon Iver or Fleet Foxes
Rural Alberta Advantage is a watered-down TWIABPAIANLATD at best
Older Bon Iver is watered-down Fleet Foxes for the most part
also fuck you 1% milk is the best lmao

What the fuck is that abbreviation.

the world is a beautiful place & i am no longer afraid to die, most people just use TWIABP
imagine thinking Bon Iver, especially after their last record, do anything better than Fleet Foxes
Wtf 1% milk owns
This thread is proof that /mu/ is retarded. You're looking at the AOTD.
why do you guys do this with every new release?
every single time an artist releases a new album, a thousand threads spawn on "OMG THIS BAND SUX," and there's never any actual discussion about it.
God the average age on this board has to be less than 15 now. Are you guys really that bored that you have to make threads just to be obnoxious? Go play video games or hang out with your friends or something. Holy shit.

can you imagine the thought process behind this
>come to music discussion board
>see insightful music discussion
>see praised artist
>be contrarian and talk shit about praised artist without explanation
and no, >>73396503, just calling music "boring" and "drab" isn't discussion, you chav
I actually agree with you in regards to Helplessness Blues but their first album is great. Lots of great textures and harmonies that they got rid of on HB in exchange for poetic singer-songwriter shit.
First FF album actually packs a lot of lunch. Seeing Pecknold talk down his earlier lyrics compared to his new "you guys heard about these books, eh?" lyrics is such a self own.

fun fact: this is how tame impala was meme'd to death
>>73396567
Completely agree with this 100% you're absolutely right, very smart man here not falling for shallow lyricism
I think thy their first album sucks compared to Helplessness Blues.
Complaints about HB are justified though but I like it anyways.
>>73401328
I don't get it either, this "fuck it, it's a 5" tier shiposting.
