Fleet Foxes

[meatyparson]

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

[robith]

Yep they are pap. Typical, The Guardian says they are cool so everyone creams themselves.

[srvman]

they are shit and everyone who disagrees is wrong wrong wrong and is obviously a moron.....

i kid

they are just abit too high up the pyramid...i thought theyd be received better on the other stage

I agree, but not based on the fact that they aren't any good...it all depends on the kind of music you like. Me, I love "americana" for want of a better term....Giant Sand, Midlake, Sufjan, Band of Horses, My Morning Jacket etc etc...all some of my favourite bands/artists and I hear bits of all of them in Fleet Foxes. As exponents of this genre, they are superb, but if none of the above are your bag then you probably won't get Fleet Foxes either. I'm quite surprised as to the level of "mainsteam" success they seem to be getting though, seems primarily to be based on critical acclaim, then people listen to them and think, "Oh, not what I was expecting...I don't like them". So, Pyramid is a strange slot for them. I'd prefer to see them indoors, and the acoustic tent has the best sound so I'd plump for there!...

[robith]

we were directly asked by the person who started the thread

[The Nal]

Not a massive fan but the album has grown on me (a little bit). Still wont be going to see them though. Ill be Park based when they’re on.

[meatyparson]

Yes, and it was a response to his original postualtion.

Why even make a thread? There are loads of bands playing that I can't stand, I just get on with it innit.

[cowmadiddy]

I'm definitely from your school of thought here. Sufjan Stevens, Band of Horses and Fleet Foxes are some of my absolute faves (i'll have to check out Giant Sand too).

I was expecting them to be headlining The Park, but i'll watch them anywhere and imagine thousands of others will and will thoroughly enjoy them. They're not on late, it'll be a nice summery (hopefully) day and i think they'll be very well received.

I find threads like this quite strange. I'm bang up for advertising my enjoyment of a band, but if you're pretty much indifferent to someone i wonder what the point of instigating a debate about them is?

[robith]

Maybe like myself he thought he was the only person who thought FF were tripe ? Now he knows hes not alone

[srvman]

ive said this many a time....

what exactly do people think a forum is for?

to debate, dislike, like, argue, chat...

i hate it when people say why bash this artist....why not...thats why we have a forum....

if people stopped making stupid threads then people stop visiting then site loses advertising....eventually might even close....

its the bloody internet anyway people are allowed to say fleet floxes are boring c**ts, even if they arent....(they are though)...anyway, i dont know if anyone would agree with this?

[IRISHMANC]

Loved Mykonos. the album is shite.

fodder for "art school" types who want to sound interesting when expressing their taste in music.

The critics would never agree because they are generally of this type too but the Kasabian and Doves albums knock the absolute shit out of the Fleet Foxes album

[Chazeboy]

I really dont mind them, but i think they may be a little lost on the Pyramid

[meatyparson]

Why would that bother anyone though? For instance, and with no disrespect meant, I honestly could not care less what you like. I like what I like and that's the only person my tastes have to answer to. Who cares what other people think?

[Petewasbristol]

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.

[meatyparson]

Ok. cool, I'm going to make a thread about every single band I hate at Glasto and post the,. That cool with you yeah

[Wooderson]

Yes, that cultural trend setting behemoth that is The Guardian

Never mind that they got top reviews on DiS, Pitchfork, in Mojo, Word, hell pretty much blanket across the music press on and offline.

Yes, all the Guardian's fault.

Typical, I don't like something so everyone else must have been brainwashed because I'm independent and cool

[IRISHMANC]

How can you even compare the three?

It's like saying Reign in Blood knocks the shit out of Song of Love and Hate

Art school types. Get over yourself. What are you then, straight up salt of the earth "'AVE IT"

[srvman]

[Fezler69]

don't get me started on Paul McCartney

[srvman]

can we get back to the subject of how everyone hates this band....please some focus :L

[serginhowardinho]

Not at all, just not a scenster with the opinion that a band is crap when it becomes popular and a band that the broadsheets champion and sell very little units are amazing. Not knocking anyones musical taste, just gets a bit annoying when living in the North and you hear posh Southern ever so green students banging on about how much Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver and Regina Spector are tooootalllly changing the world when they could barely name a Hendrix, Stone Roses or Doors song.
