I find these guys boring due to the fact I can see no difference between them and every other folky band found on Sub Pop records.

Agreed.

Perhaps the real sentiment in the original post is that they just don't like folky music.

Their vocal harmonies set them apart IMO.

As similar as bands can sound they usually play different songs. Fleet Foxes have some nice songs.

I won't say they aren't nice songs, but album of the year songs? Hardly. It's almost as bad as when Sufjan's Michigan had the world crazy. It was an easy listening record.

I've just been introduced to them, and I have to say I like them quite a bit. I grew up with my dad listening to CSN&Y, and these guys are similar. They brings back memories.

Sooooo.... anyone else besides me really, really like Helplessness Blues? It took a few listens for it to click with me, but man, what a killer album.

Anyone else digging? Or not?
