    I'm a big fan of the Fleet Foxes and fell in love with their first album. I liked their second one, but it was not quite the same as their first record. After a couple of listens I must say I'm kind of dissapointed in Crack-up. The vocals and music sounds good, but there's not really a whole lot that excites me here and the songs are not as strong as in the previous two albums.

I hate to say it, but to a degree it gets a bit boring in the long run. I have waited so long for something new from the Fleet Foxes, and I wished they could come up with something better. Crack-Up doesn't have those great choruses from previous efforts and I'm longing for something that gives me a little more emotional arousal.… Expand

    Don't waste your time with this one, it's way too boring....I'm afraid these Canadians will never touch the beauty and perfection like they did with the first record....yes, we all waited so long for this album but the sad fact is - it's a flop

    Was hoping for more. Looking forward to this new album and after months of trying to get into it, it just doesn’t hook me.

    While it’s not short of irritating periods of pretension, it’s par for the course when beauty, indulgence and complexity are key ingredients in the melting pot.

    It is a record that tries to rise above the expectations created by the band’s past success. In doing so, it loses sight of where their past success came from.

    The whole album is a cabinet of curiosities to discover and decipher.
