Fleet Foxes

[cowmadiddy]

OK maybe I don't get it, and everyone else is entitled to their own opinion, but I've listened to their album and my opinion is that they are DULL!, I can't think of anything I want to do less than waste my time boring myself to death over their drivel.

However they obviously have a big following and so they must be striking a chord with plenty of people so I'll finish this the same way I started by saying I just don't get it.

The Streets would've been better in their slot

[jimbo b]

yes

[gemstarrr]

yeah i don't understand it either :/

i bought the album expecting it to be amazing and yeah there are a couple of nice songs, but nothing really interesting. live i just don't think they'd be very entertaining.

maybe i'm missing something!

great musicians, great voices, great songs. If they are not your thing then fair enough. But I don't see why, especially compared to a good half of the Pyramid lineup, they have less of a right to be there.

And believe it or not, they existed before the Guardian decided they were amazing, and a lot of us thought they were fantastic back then too.

[meatyparson]

Remember last year going to watch Goldfrapp, bored the arse off me, Fleet foxes remind me of them, very airy fairy type music.

Will be steering well clear of their set thats for sure, in fact will hardly be at the Pyramid at all this year maybe only Blur.

[Wooderson]

I love the record. Really looking forward to it. Four part harmonies are rare in today's new bands.

I think they could be one of the highlights. This isnt Reading people.

So I can admire their technical skill, and like the album in an 'on in the background' type way, and even went to see them live.

But they just don't stir my soul. I find them weirdly unmoving considering the amount of emotion the lead singer puts into it live.

It feels a bit ersatz, as if its an exercise in trying to create a particular sound.

But only opinions.

[srevell]

ummmmmmmm hows about NO?! theyre ruddy awesome. very sweet band, i couldnt imagine not liking them.

atlhough each to their own etc etc and all that jazz...

[Breeze]

Never heard of them.

[meatyparson]

Never heard of them.

[fumps]

I tried to geting into them....but i just felt the same. really dull

[bombfrog]

My girlfriend seems to think they are called the Flying Foxes. This amuses me.

The Band?

I listened to the album because I loved Mykonos. Was fairly disappointed.

[theleedslads]

Yeah! overrated and boring!

[robith]

No I really like them.

But do continue to spend your time articulating how you don't like a band. I mean it's not like you're wasting time that could be spent on, oh, say, finding stuff you do like.

There's so much amazing music in the world, why waste your energy talking about the stuff you don't like? Unless you're directly asked of course, would probably be rude not to say it then.

Don't like? Just file under "don't like" in brain and then move on

[flobberlobberlo]

Couldn't agree more - I have them a chance, but no, in my opinion they are pretty terrible.

[guyfawkes]

They are good musicians but their music is pretty boring in my opinion, see also florence and the machine. Ive seen her live aswell, i just do not get the hype around her.

[bouncing beetle]

I like Fleet Foxes but I won't be going to see them for two reasons, firstly I have my doubts as to whether they will come over well on the Pyramid, they are much more a late night tented band IMO. I can only assume they have been put there due to their current popularity.

Secondly they clash with Lamb and nothing will keep me away from theose cute little furry ones.
