Crack-Up

Another great fleet foxes album.

Crack Up is like listening to a car wreck. This is not good!!!!!

My ears liked it... a lot

I love the Fleet Foxes and really don't want to knock them. Robin Pecknold is a great singer & song writer...I can only speak for my personal opinion but compared their other albums this one is just kind of so so. I appreciate the creativity on this one guys but there is just not one song on here that really "stands" out on here. When I hear songs like "Blue Ridge Mountains" or "Grown Ocean" I want to play it over & over but this album I'm not going to lie I'm probably going to set aside & probably play once in a great while. It's a great growth album, a listener can appreciate that but it's just not the best....If I was just starting to listen to them & had never heard any of their other stuff I would probably be asking what the big deal about this band is...just wish it didn't all feel like filler. But hey it's new Fleet Foxes, yayyy for their return, finally!

fleet fox's music is life-changing. my parents used to play their first album for me on the cassette when i was younger, and the sunny guitar chords and pastoral imagery are comforting in a familiar, innocent way. tiger mountain peasant song will always be an immediate fall back for me - robin sings about loss in a way that one can't help but relate to. when i became older, and started branching out, i stumbled upon helplessness blues - and although i feared a divergence from the narrative quality of their first album, i was rewarded with the new, wandering sound in spades. crack up feels like the end of a journey. there is strife and difficulty - the tracks, my favorite being kept woman, are all haunting and lovely in their noise and their stillness. it takes a sharp ear to pick out how genius this album is, and it takes the journey through ff's discography to understand and appreciate it as a body of work

There are few, if any, songwriters I trust as much as Robin Pecknold. The music comes first with these guys, and it's nice to know you can count on them to have their priorities straight even after a long time away.

Fleet Foxes come back from their hiatus and it seems this album was more for Robin than reaching out to their beloved fans. Kept Woman, parts of Crack-Up and the beginning of Third of May really bring back the nostaglia of what kept fans waiting for soo long. I believe their next hinted album will be better.

Hands down the best album of 2017!!!! This is a masterpiece!

Oh my sweet beautiful lovely goodness!!! Beautiful in a way that escapes words.

That is the only way to describe this album! Wasn't crazy about it at first, but after seeing them live I was blown away and now love all of these songs!
