I like Crack-Up more than this.

I like this but I've spent the least time with it out of any FF album. I feel like if I put in more effort with this I might like it better than Shore, but C-U and HB are #1 and #2, respectively.
Edit: Also just realized with this post that I don't have a single FF album rated less than a 4.5 lmao

HB > Crack-Up > Shore > Self-titled for me. I like them all, though. It's always a treat to hear their music.

I like their baroque pop sound much more, and hate it when they get too proggy.

We have the opposite impression, which is quite cool. I do like their pop stuff too but it's their proggy stuff that often comes out as being my favourite songs of theirs.

i think they have a quite dark, gloomy vibe that's somehow sunny and bright at the same time, and that balance shines more when the song structures remain simple, so the listener can emphasize and pay attention to the emotional core of the song. The proggier ones just dont hit that spot for me and they're also not that interesting. There's much better prog folk out there, def.

I don't think all of their songs strive for that balance, personally. Much of the work on Crack-Up is very much gloomy and wallowing. I would say Helplessness Blues is probably best at rendering rather gloomy songs about existentialism and want in an otherwise bright melodies. (Save the odd outlier like 'The Shrine/ An Argument').
Shore on the other hand, I think that's their most lyrically uplifting record. I like that one, too. I mean, I like all of their records but I enjoy the cinematic expanse of their prog-folk most of all.

All their stuff rules but I also prefer when they get proggy/ambitious.

it's a different vibe, definitely. And i get that part of their schtick is being this "beach boys meet yes" kinda inherently dual, complex music, but there's these things that shine through their simpler songs that's just right in my eyes, and is lost in the too complex.

He says “mornion light” at least 7 times on this album

damn I really wish I had gotten the memo on this album like 15 years ago. Really can't stop listening to this lately. The combination of Robin's vox, the guitar tones/leads, and heavy reverb is just a match made in heaven.

SERIOUSLY THO. Every note comes together so beautifully in that song. So many super memorable melodies. Makes me want to be camping somewhere up along Lake Superior and far away from my work computer. I often feel that way though. heh.

Stop paying taxes. Move to the woods. Become food for the skinwalkers. Beautiful.

Even if everything they did afterwards is better, this is still excellent, especially the first half and Blue Ridge Mountains.

Every time I want to listen to White Winter Hymnal or Ragged Wood I feel like I'm getting advertised an "all-new 2015 Toyota with 0% APR financing."
Good album though.

Nahh, older lord huron makes me feel that way but not FF. I mean yeah the intro to WWH is a little silly but I think it's more tongue in cheek than people admit
