This is undoubtedly my single favorite album of all time. It feels like such a perfect culmination of all the themes and ideas Fleet Foxes has been working with since 2008. It answers many of the questions found on both Helplessness Blues and Crack-Up, and represents an incredible maturation and growth in Robin Pecknold's perspective. Their other albums are certainly masterpieces, but this, in my opinion, is their magnum opus. I doubt it will be recognized as such in its time. isaiah_stuart
Keeps up the real good songwriting they've been doing ever since Kintsugi; has all the best elements of the band, great melodies and choruses, but they're also more mature now. Every album Death Cab seem to dig in deeper to the elements the initial albums were experimenting with, bringing it all together. Wolfwatching Music
