• Walk On By from between Friends (1968) and 20/20 (1969)
"My favorite [album] is Friends. It seems to fit the way I live better - it's simple and I can hear it any time without having to get into some mood." - Brian Wilson, Rolling Stone, 1970
"I have got fatter and happier, but I really haven't matured all that much." - Brian Wilson, Disc and Music Echo, June 1969
supported by 4 fans who also own “Keep My Skill Different”
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
