Fleet Foxes - Shore (September 22, 2020) Album • Page 6

Yeah I loved the Berman reference as well, so cool.

 

List of artists he pays tribute to in that song:

Richard Swift
John Prine
Bill Withers
Judee Sill (clearly was a huge influence on Robin early on.. his cover of Crayon Angels is incredible)
Elliot Smith
David Berman
Arthur Russell
Curtis Mayfield
Jimi Hendrix
Nick Drake
Otis Redding
Chris Bell
Tim or Jeff Buckley
Marvin Gaye

The song makes me super emotional. And he does such a great job weaving these references into the lyrics.

 

update: this may pass Helplessness Blues for me.

This thing is damn near perfect.

 

that vocal melody on "though I like summer light on youuu" absolutely melts me

 

Didn’t even connect the American Water line with Berman, damn.

 

Also I love this. But Crack-Up is still the one for me. Surprised it hasn’t grown on more people, I think it’s their masterpiece.

 

Can I Believe You is my fave so far

 

It was the first thing that popped into my head, but didn’t think it was actually connected to Berman till I read the Pitchfork review.

 

I also really love that he mentions The Hex. That album is so underrated.

 

I need to go back and revisit Crack-Up. I remember really liking it when it came out and listening to it quite a bit, but only parts of it have really stuck with me. This one is definitely more immediate though.

 

I never came around to Crack-Up, every time I listen to it I feel like I have to TRY really hard to find things I like about it, and by the time I get to the second half I'm exhausted from trying to find enjoyment that it just turns into background music. There's not much to grab onto, nothing I can remember about any of the songs after listening to the album.

 

that's kinda how I felt about that album. Listening to this one now and I like it but nothing's really doing that much for me.

 

Dang. I really love Crack Up. So many beautiful moments throughout.

 

Loved this Review: Fleet Foxes Are Still Experimental, More Accessible, & Always Beautiful On 'Shore'

 

Man I know some already mentioned it but this album is wild with headphones on

 

This fucking album. 10/10.

 

So in love with this part of the vocal melody in "Going-To-The-Sun Road"

 

Wish I loved this like everyone else...first few listens gave me very little tho sad to say. Will prolly try another time but there will always be the first three records!! Long live FF

 

The debut has some All Time Jams™ but I think this one might already be my second-favorite FF album

 

Unsure if it was mentioned, but there was a Spotify-exclusive vinyl pressing /1000 gold and smoke.

I wish we didn't have to sleuth this stuff out after they're all sold.

 

yeah this is an all-timer for me.. no doubt

and i still don't even think i've really scratched the surface yet

 

This thing is unreal

 

Welp, I've been a bit more conservative on preordering vinyl but I'm definitely picking this one up.

 

Love this.

 

This is so lovely at night
