So I'm just about to go to the shops as I love 'Sometime Around Midnight' and I'm in the mood for a new album. But a quick glance of the press reviews show very mixed. Pitchfork gave it 1.6!  A lot of reviewers say it seems to be a carbon copy of the Arcade Fire. Mind you, Muse were said to be a carbon copy of Radiohead and I love them (and they are not). Anyone else got it?  |

I will be getting it when I get a new student card for my 10% off, hopefully tomorrow!  I love 'Sometime Around Midnight' and the previous single 'Gasoline' was good too. I don't take too much note of reviews (unless they're all spectacularly bad), especially Pitchfork. Fleet Foxes album of 2008? Ha! |

I have got the record and seen them live , the album is patchy but no more so than many albums it has maybe 4 strong tracks and the rest is pretty filler, 'Gasoline' is not typical of them i'd try to hear some of the other tracks first, id give it 6.5/10

Yup, I'm staying away from this after the Pitchfork rating. It's also got 58 on metacritic... ouch.

HMV delivered the album early so I listened to it a couple times over the weekend and loved it.
