"I'm dying for Brian to hear stereo. I want so much for him to hear with both ears, because of all people, he would love it." - Carl Wilson, Crawdaddy, July 1976
"We've become more handsome, erudite, intelligent... creative... modest." - Mike Love (upon beings asked how the group had changed over the years), 1981

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
