Did I start with the right Fleet Foxes album?

Yes, the best one. Although, Crack-Up is trash but the self-titled is pretty good.

its execution. the songs the frontman performed live when he opened for Joanna Newsom sounded fine. the execution is just all over the place imo. the opener to the album is a perfect example. it tries to accompany three parts but just ends up sounding goofy and tryhard. at least to me.

No meme at all. Third of May is unironically a 10/10 though. The version he performed live was fine but the album version really knocks it out of the park. They really organized that song perfectly. The rest of the album is pretty hit or miss imo.

HB > SG EP > S/T > CU

Helplessness Blues is the best album to start with, though Crack-Up is probably their best. Self-titled is a lot of fun but it's not particularly profound or impactful.

I fucking love the album, but I can definitely see the criticism that it's overstuffed. The interludes between almost every song, how almost every one is composed of different movements, even the ton of themes running through it... I can see that being a little much for a lot of people. I had to listen to it like four or five times before I could digest all that the album had been stretched to accomodate.

HB>CU>FF=SG

I'm slightly biased because I listened to each record as it came out, but I think the self-titled is a better starting point.

Helplessness Blues is their best record though.

I agree 100% with this

HB has a few god-tier songs, but everything else is meh. s/t is the superior album.
Haven't listened to Crack-Up yet.
