That's as may be but they are no Take That.sand dusky wrote:I am suprised..........It's not a million miles away from what Midlake were doing. It may not be up tempo but I can't see what is lightweight about it. On the contrary, the vocals are some of if not the most rich and luscious vocals i have ever heard......and what's more amazing is they sing better live.calexico wrote:I tried with that Fleet Foxes album, I sure did. Certainly some of it is lovely and has some great tunes but it is very lightweight and tends to drag on a bit for me. It needs some oomph, a tad one paced for me.

My top CD of 2008 is...
Ben Nichols - Last Pale Light in the West.
www.luceromusic.com
I know that the site says that it won't be out until early 2009, but it has shipped already, cause I have it.

Any proof of this?Bill Carson wrote:Teh Rube wrote:Funny how an album that may not even come out this year and no one has heard any tracks from can be album of the year.
I doubt it'll be better than this:
Oh please. Even the guy who worked on that album said Ready For the Flood blows it away.

I have not been fortunate enough. And actually, I have not been familiar with him long enough to have had the chance. But, I will be the first to buy a ticket for his next St. Louis show...Lakefork wrote:Mr. Hoops:
Have you seen Bon Iver live?
Incredible.
They were so good that people actually shut the hell up and paid attention at the show I was at (Canopy Club in Champaign, IL).
