Greta Van Fleet - From The Fires (November 10, 2017) Album • Page 2

Also, yeah, album's not bad. Terrible title, but it's as solid as the EPs.

 

They’re a super talented group, and I enjoy the classic feel to their jams — but I feel like a majority of comments I’ve seen elsewhere are either “they ape Zeppelin” or “they’re here to save rock & roll!” No middle ground, either one opinion or the other.

Will listen to the new LP later today, but hope people don’t put too much pressure on them. Would like to see how GVF develops over the next few years.

 

I turned this off about halfway through. These guys, as good as they are, just don't do a whole lot for me. Which is saying something, because classic rock is right up my wheelhouse. Hopefully it'll click later.

 

I dig it.
Seeing them live pushed them over the edge for me. Super talented for how young they are

 

incredible

 

Loved, "From The Fires", don't love the new record at all.

 

you guys know Led Zeppelin already has tons of albums to listen to right

 

Led Zeppelin also stole like half their music lol and the rest is just Robert Plant talking about Lord Of The Rings

 

And they play shows all the time, too.

 

God damn, that Pitchfork article is brutal. It's like Connor4Real getting that turd emoji out of five.

 

I’d rather see Robert Plants lame ass solo project live than this band

 

This album is a lot of fun.

The unnecessary hate for this band is not.

That Pitchfork review was an embarrassment and I like Jeremy and usually respect his opinions on music.

 

cool, listen to albert lee instead. or sonny williamson. or blind willie mctell. or son house. or leadbelly.

you don’t have to pull for a third-generation derivative band by claiming the band they’re ripping off also ripped off other people lol. you really don’t.

 

I have literally never heard a Greta song lol

 

I’d maybe get it if the pop music landscape was being littered with 70s revival bands, but they’re a fun one off that might spark a couple more similar bands in the next couple years who try to play off GVF’s success.

 

Or listen to Greta Van Fleet if you like Greta Van Fleet.

 

The review sucks both in terms of writing and overall message

 

I really don't even like the album that much. But the review is embarrassing all around.

 

Let's not forget, it's their debut album. Led Zeppelin's debut was primarily covers and re-arrangements of existing blues and folk songs, and most bands' debut albums sound a lot like their influences. This one admittedly moreso than others, but still, they're obviously talented and deserve a chance to continue to develop.

 

Also of all the bad indie rock bands that site reviews, THIS is the one they call out for a lack of technical skill, lol

 

Agreed. The whole tone of it reeks of the worst of Pitchfork condescension.

 

Yeah I mean fuck this band, but that review is garbage

 

you can listen to them if you want. plenty of people listen to awful music willingly all the time!

 

reviewer sounds like he feels personally attacked because a band is doing a very good copy of led zeppelin

 

this is hardly the first time this has happened. people got pissed at owl city for being a derivative of the fucking postal service lol. why do y’all act like this shit isn’t constantly happening
