Fleet Foxes- Montezuma

[Gunnerkelly]

It doesn't compare to the older stuff, mainly due to the weaker lyricism. But FF always produces good music. Hopefully their next effort will return to that more subtle style.

[originalsessions]

Montezuma was the 9th ruler of Tenochitlan, reigning from 1502 to 1520. He was killed during the initial stages of the Spanish conquest of Mexico, when Cortez fought to escape the Aztect capital.

[bonjourawr]

fleet foxes are truely magic live.

:)

[hockeymaster8102]

This album definitely puts a strong emphasis on growing older. Very very cool that somebody's thought about this ordeal as life is so short.

[PollishedPeople]

Oh man. Cant get enough them. Is it possible to OD on them? Cause if so imma be deaadd!

[dynomike1964]

This shitty econoemy is producing some great fucking music.

[thepumpdontwork]

@dynomike1964 great comment. Global desperation makes even the multi-million dollar artists fret and freak out about their investments and portfolios. But in the greater scheme of things IMHO Fleet Foxes are genuine Troubadours who would gladly prefer to write a good song than invest in gold.

[thepumpdontwork]

@dynomike1964 also shitty economy producing some fucking bad spelling.

[cameronroston]

@thepumpdontwork haha yeah both statements are completely true

[CalicoCats523]

@thepumpdontwork Also shitty economy producing some fucking dicks. He added one "e", which is more than likely a typo. Just shush and go to peace with this song playing.

[ossie29]

I do love this song, its also definitely the best on the album by far. The album's pleasant but I just wish there was some more guitar in there. Im a Neil Young fan, but a lot of the album is too much like Crosby, Stills and Nash... without Young, for me! Still better than most things out there though!

[lmismisimokntero]

MOCTEZUMA!



[sodiumaddict]

@lmismisimokntero Sir, you need to pay more attention.

[IceCreamAllTheTime]

for me this music is too peaceful and all sweet to be listened to, doesn't really fit into everyday life.

[hockeymaster8102]

@IceCreamAllTheTime how does this song not compare to everyday life? fucking listen to the words

[paperfeathers]

he's gotta be crazy

[MrMikes1991]

this is like the only good song on the cd...

[rozz02]

@MrMikes1991 are you crazy this is an amazing album

[MiloDC]

@MrMikes1991 This and Grown Ocean. (Seriously dude, listen to Grown Ocean, it is mighty.) But yeah, that's it. The rest of the album is pants.

[Fenderguitarist17]

@MiloDC Listen to purple shoes cover of grown ocean. OH MAN THAT IS MIGHTY.

[TheMistermuppet]

i like these guys, but i still love Ministry and Skinny Puppy

[terrybeaton]

I think a great peice of music will often sound a tiny bit strange upon the first few hearings. Your ear has to have a little time to adjust to the new colors and cadences. Each new Cat Stevens record was like that for me (waaay back when) and everything I've come to love since then first challenged my ear befor slowly ravishing it!

[Priiyyaa93]

@terrybeaton this is exactly the same for me. The songs that take me longer to first appreciate are the ones that have longevity for me.

[stethoscanomaly]

I agree. this is my fav fleet foxes album by a lot. sounds so much like the best parts of the Byrds. check out the byrds if you're into this.

[wbs0529]

Fleet foxes is my favorite band, and i realize it every time i listen to their music.

[r33mgiggles]

by far their best album.... fleet foxes really outdid their previous albums by a llm

[ChadOnTheNet]

unlike fleet foxes older stuff, I didn't like this album when I first listened to it. But after listening to it a few times I absolutely loved it. I don't think it beats their older stuff, blue ridge mountains still remains my fav song of theirs, but songs like sim sala bim and the plains/bitter dancer proved that fleet foxes are more than just a one-awesome-album band.

[estg3622]

@ChadOnTheNet Definitely blue ridge mountains is a song I'm never tired to listen to, I think my fav from them as well, and about their new album the more I listen to it the more I'm falling in love with it (jeje)

[jayholee]

This album is perfect

[trevorgarford]

so far this year ive been disappointed with all of my favourite north american bands. the Decemberists new album, only okay. The new Band of Horses album fuckin rubbish with its awful lyrics, and Fleet Foxes new one not near as good as the first two. Lets hope The Shins and Modest Mouse don;t let us down this year

[Zeplovr333]

@trevorgarford dude, you have got to be kidding. Helplessness Blues is, if anything, better than their first two albums combined.

[Joeysmith2]

@Zeplovr333 Helplessness Blues is their second album, they've only had one other.

[TheTinderBox0812]

@Joeysmith2 They Released an EP called Sun Giant, then a self titled album, and now Helplessness Blues.

[Zeplovr333]

@Joeysmith2 technically yes, but they released an EP in June of 2008 entitled Sun Giant. As far as I'm concerned it's an album, despite it only having 5 tracks. Mykonos is on there, after all.

[mygrandpappyisafrog]

@Zeplovr333 I heard ONE song from this album and knew this. They're others are by far works of incredible art but THIS here is something that words can not begin to describe.

[sam22ped]

@trevorgarford I hope you give this album another chance. Just musically they have grown fantastically and sound so much more proficient. Their style's changed, but I think that's a minute issue if one at all. Their lyrics are still meaningful if not more. They seem more honest, not that they weren't before, but I guess straightforward is the word I'm looking for. Overall, I think this is one of the most inspirational albums I have ever heard. Grown Ocean has to be one of my favorite songs now.

[wiegandmatt7]

wow... can hardly wait for the album to come out...
