Sep 26, 2020Wonderful album. Combination of the complexity of Crack Up with the accessibility of their debut. Highly recommended.
-
Sep 24, 2020The album we’ve always known they were capable of. A modern classic, a reprieve in a time of chaos and strife that should only grow in relevance and fondness through the years.

Sep 25, 2020Exactly what I need at this point in the year, beautiful album with plenty of relistenable tracks (Can I believe you, Maestranza, Young Man's Game etc

Sep 24, 2020Album of the year. Confirms Fleet Foxes as one of the greatest bands of the last decades. A celebration of life in the face of death.

Sep 28, 2020A beautiful and appropriate release for the season, but also one I'll have in rotation well after Autumn ends.
More of a refinement of Crack-Up than an evolution for the group, but another timeless addition to the group's discography. -
Sep 22, 2020A great experience that I'll heard over and over again. Way ahead of its time!

Sep 23, 2020Stunning! This is an awesome album all the way through. I'm loved Robin Pecknold's incredible vocals and soaring melodies, they felt like a hug in these difficult times. I feel like it's a step up from crack up which I enjoyed but didn't love.

Sep 22, 2020Absolutely flawless. Rivals Helplessness Blues for the best Fleet Foxes album, and I can't think of any higher praise than that.

Sep 23, 2020Listen with headphones & find yourself in the organic rich layers of beauty. Honestly, the best album of 2020 and I will leave out “so far”.
Amazing work Robin -

Sep 23, 2020Doesn't seem as genuine, inventive or in the moment as their first two albums, no hooks or harmonies, vocals and lyrics are lost in the instruments, different production to their first two albums, ended up quite flat. Disappointed.

Oct 22, 2020It's true that this album is my least fav of the band's catalog, but it's still well worth your time, and still a showcase for their remarkable talents. There are some standout tracks like Quiet air that are at the same level as FF's all time greats, but a few that don't quite hit the heights the previous albums set as their standard.

Apr 27, 2021I have to say I have found this album very disappointing. The songs and melodies sound really labored. As if they had writers block in the studio. I still love Fleet Foxes but this is a NO for me.

Feb 5, 2021Fleet Foxes have a way of evolving in exactly the right direction with every release, and Shore is no exception. Great hooks, instrumentals, and everything else, through and through. I don't think any other musical release felt as magical as Shore's did with the livestreaming of its accompanying video. Always a pleasure.

Apr 8, 2021A soul-healing, whimsical journey that takes you down the path less-followed and sees you emerge a new man that has finally found peace within the struggle of human existence.
8.6/10 -
Aug 21, 2021This is one of the best albums of 2020 in my opinion. Flawless songwriting and recording.

Mar 30, 2022Life defining. Has changed me. Not perfect by any means but it speaks to my soul.
