It has the depth of the great records that use to be done without being depressing or even heavy. Moreover, Robin Pecknold's voice is just brilliant!Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635916071948126571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1552170199123016285.post-70219249501044914622011-11-16T22:43:59.954-08:002011-11-16T22:43:59.954-08:00Fleet Foxes are not the type of band that will ini...Fleet Foxes are not the type of band that will initially blow you away. Rather, their music has to be chipped away layer by layer before you feel like you have a grasp on it, which is a great thing for an album's longevity. From that standpoint, their music takes effort to enjoy. It has depth and cannot be taken at face value. While "Helplessness Blues" doesn't initially stand out as a classic album I think it has the potential to grow into an album that will stand the test of time and ultimately end up on a lot of "Best of 2011" lists.Italiahttp://dpurposeofruning.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
