This record feels like a natural development from their first release, but at the same time a big leap forward. I think the songwriting's better -- definitely more melodic -- and the sound is way lusher, sweeter, and clearer. (Always helps to have Jarvis Taveniere on board.) There's a greater variety of textures, too, including lovely strings on Trust and a more dissonant, mysterious vibe on Hour of the Wolf. Besides those two, Disco and River's Edge are my other favorites. Joe Madden
It's Fleet Foxes' tightest and most direct record yet. It's an example of veterans of their craft producing some absolutely beautiful soundscapes. bamdumtss

dude I swear to god this is like greatness incarnate, every song is so good, the entire album is perfect to me which is always hard to find, an album that has nothing but bangers Livin Loose is an awesome start, Slide is so good, I like the story for why he is whispering too, you lost me there is the best I believe because it is where the story of the album comes in full blast bringing Make it forever and making it better, all together that's a 10! saintyork
