I love this album, particularly The Shrine/ An Argument. I don't really see why people are getting so into this Fleet Foxes/ Mumford and Sons debate. I never thought of comparing the two. Why do they even have to be compared?

[charcharbinx]

I am a proud fan of both Fleet Foxes and Mumford and Sons....deal with it world :D

Who gives a shit about the genre, the influences, the authenticity of their roots? They're just making some fucking music, and all that matters is that it sounds good and feels good.

@mise91 Because people feel the need to start up debates about how they both have similar style of music. In my opinion, there is not really a need to compare, I think of bands with same style as completely different bands and feel.. Just listen to the band and enjoy the talent in the harmonies and how they make the music flow throughout the album. You can take what you want from a band and I think everybody seems to like that comparison

FUN FACT: Battery Kinzie is a concrete Endicott Period Battery located on Fort Worden, Jefferson County, Washington. Named in G.O. 245, 13 Dec 1909, for Brigadier General David Hunter Kinzie, a U.S. Civil War veteran who died in 1904. The Battery was begun in Jun 1908, completed in 1910 and transfered to the Coastal Artillery for use 10 Jan 1912 at a total cost of $207,832.50. The guns were dismounted in 1944 toward the end of World War II.

This song has a Everly Brothers feel to it.

Please... just enjoy music, no matter what, no one cares if you like or dislike Mumford & Sons, I love both FF and M&S, but you don't care, because you shouldn't.

Moral of the story; Just enjoy whatever you freaking want to.

(Also this song is so crazy good I can barely believe it)

@dsf429 and I know I made a few grammar mistakes there. Sorry.

@dsf429 Neither of them are truly folk though. Their just young white kids who pick up acoustic instrument and sell this image of "Men in old fashioned clothes with beards" You can't revive a musical genre that never left in the first place. Folk has always been around, it's just never been popular since the 60's. Folk is about chronicling you times, not oblique lyrics that relate to the woods and stereotypical folk shit. FF are still a good act though, but their not folk, their folk influenced.

@mise91 Because they are both folk revivalist. Fleet Foxes is much better in my opinion though.
