    This collection of thirty songs has some of my most treasured memories attached to them, I shan't talk about the songs from their debut here, as I've already reviewed it (it's amazing). First off the songs from Sun Giant are brilliant, and were a tantalising taste of what was to come when they released it way back in 2008, 'Mykonos' and 'Drops in the RIver' being the two standout tracks inThis collection of thirty songs has some of my most treasured memories attached to them, I shan't talk about the songs from their debut here, as I've already reviewed it (it's amazing). First off the songs from Sun Giant are brilliant, and were a tantalising taste of what was to come when they released it way back in 2008, 'Mykonos' and 'Drops in the RIver' being the two standout tracks in my opinion. For the songs I hadn't heard before, most of them were incredibly enjoyable, and those that I didn't instantly love were still pleasant enough that I wouldn't skip them. But yes, overall this is an amazing collection of amazing songs from an amazing band, and I highly encourage people to give it a listen.… Expand

    The thought processes of this band are etched on Pecknold's frail voice, but the development as a whole is something to truly marvel in.

    The recordings here are ideal for longtime fans, whose only gripe might be paying for material that they already own. But this is not a big problem when you consider just how many rare tracks you get for your buck.

    The b-sides disc is, like most sets of this sort, an interesting collection of odds and sods, but the inclusion of traditional English folk standards, “Silver Dagger” and “False Knight on the Road” offers a true insight into their initial inspiration and the folk finesse they aspired to. A book of photos and lyrics is interesting but offers little in the way of liner notes or a narrative. Still, as part of this tidy package, it ought to help inspire Fleet Foxes fans to dig in deeper.
