Love these guys.
Touted as being 'new folk', well, I guess new as in they are young and 'current' - aside from that, it's really beautiful music.
Get a real cultural buzz from these guys, deep stirring in the soul. Classic.

One of the new folk bands, not as good as the old ones. But a big hype arround them. Not my taste!

My hate for this tune and this band is growing to the point that I want to stick an ice pick in my ears. Oh wait... I can just turn the volume down.

I agree Proclivities. I agree! This is far less pop and more 'earthy'. I am far over thirty years of age and like this. Contrast given...my son who's 16 yrs. old LOVES this band. It's refreshing to hear a band create a tune that evolves and changes within a few minutes in a logical, musical way. Much of this music was so prevalent throughout the 70s and is very rare these days. Just my thoughts. |

Because that's what they remind me of and I can't like it.

Interesting. I'm old enough. I remember. I like that song. :). And speaking of old, high-pitched voices, I like Neil Young also. Oh well… |

I get where you are going with that and for the most part I can see where you come from... but I'm really not sure if I'd classify The Decemberists as nu-folk.
Come to think about it, I'm not sure how I'd classify them.
I know how but this is a family forum.  |

First Fleet Foxes song that didn't make me want to throw the speakers across the room. Glad someone is sifting thru the dross to find gems like this.

I bought this album, so far it has not overwhelmed me. I will continue to listen to it, because it has a lot of good qualities, I just hope it will grow on me .

Throughout this album it's like they're constantly searching for some form of complexity but can't find it... I don't know, i get lost in some songs and then it loses its charm. But that's happened to me before and after a couple of more listens i really like it, so who knows...
This one on its own however; 8
So, i listened to this album a bunch of times now and it still comes by now and then. All in all i really love it! I don't think this is the best song on it though, but the complexity which bothered me at first, is one of the things i love about it now. It's surprising and unpredictable, so yeah, i love it! |

Those harmonies also remind me of Simon and Garfunkel. The people who claim this band has no talent remind me of the people who say that Neko Case can't sing. They are so obviously wrong that it's hard to wrap your head around it.  |
