RonJ.Jul 29, 2008I don't understand the hype. When I first played this album I turned the volume WAY down so no one else would hear it. It was pretty embarrassing. This sounds like something that should be playing as background music at a King Richard's fair.

JoeBlowJun 5, 2009Just another perfect example of the oldest misconception in the world, if everyone likes it that much, it must be good. Wrong. The way I see it, if everybody likes it that much, it probably means that it's suited for the masses, meaning, common, saturated ideas that are more than likely being done better elsewhere, not en-masse.

May 11, 2011Helplessness Blues is one of the few things reminding me that behind the liquor stores and condominiums is a little freedom and a lot of hope.

Throughout the album, the band sounds wise beyond its years, so it's not really that surprising that Fleet Foxes is such a satisfying, self-assured debut.

With their self-titled debut, Fleet Foxes have attained this and have delivered one of the best albums of the year.
