as you've done your utmost to remind us since the dawn of time, the real ones stick for a reason
so nearly catchy enough not to be trite

You had to use Crack-Up as an example :-( album's one of my go-to folk escapes and remains one of my hardest ever 5/5's
But I definitely agree with the main sentiment. Some stuff I'm convinced is amazing, then a couple months later, I couldn't care less.
I think it might speak to Johnny's point about distinctive voices. Sometimes something sounds incredible upon initial inspection, but a piece's ability to entrench itself in a unique space usually takes a while to determine.

I’m actually listening to it now Sow. It’s lovely innit but serves absolutely no purpose from one song to the next.
Folk commodity

how is this any different in that regard beyond a few obvious overtones of 90s/late 80s nostalgia

I would suggest that it offers up an opportunity to anchor itself to a perfect place in time whether it be a night out, round a friends gaff, on holiday because of the soundscape offered up by tunes like Delicious Things, Feeling Myself and what have you. It can soundtrack a period. I drove around the Peak District listening to this when it came out and always think about it.
Fleet Floxes accompanied me on holiday in 2017. It’s the only reason I thought about it because me holiday snaps flashed up yesterday. Absolute fodder.

Fleet Foxes were great at Field Day last year, that sticks with me and got me listening to the latest one a fair bit
You’re right though, in terms of ‘songs you can remember/hum from memory’ it probably goes 6 from the debut, 2 from the follow up and can’t recall anything from the other two outside of listening to them at the time

The perfect place in time is my argument for Crack-Up. I spent two weeks during the summer of 2017 in a cabin in the woods at least a 45 minutes away from the nearest small town. I had that album playing a lot and the atmosphere it painted was absolutely perfect. Now, I have to listen to it any time I go camping, hiking, etc.

Sowing, yeah, it's kind of how I rate new albums now almost - they either carve out a 'listening niche' for themselves or they'll fade.

Yep, that's basically it, Zak hit the nail on the head with his rationale. I have different albums for different activities/places/feelings, and those are the ones that have stood the test of time. In reality a lot of my 5's are almost like "legacy classics", because maybe at a certain point in time they did have a permanent space carved out in my life, but that space no longer applies? I always wonder if I should bump them down to a 4.5, but then again, is it the album's fault that I outgrew it? *falls into rabbit hole of trying to rationalize ratings*

Funnily enough I reckon this would sound amazing in them same wooden cabin circumstances sow.
Not a soul around blasting The Last Man on Earth. Yep I’m definitely having some of that.

Bumped me rating.
Give it 20yrs I reckon this could be an absolute classic.

if an album is contingent on filling a space in your life that it cannot fill, then it is not a classic
if an album can fill the same space at different points in your life, or different spaces at different points in your life, then it is probably a classic
if an album does not need to be inserted into the immediate circumstances of your life to be a classic, then it is a classic

Nah it’s not as disposable as the usual. There is an air of sentimentality to these tunes that is timeless.

The usual wankers but the tunes cannot be knocked. Ignore the opening of Feeling Myself and wait for it to kick in, if you’re in the right frame of mind it will get ya.
