Out of interest, where did I say that my opinion was based on misguided expectations due to the reviews of others? Am I not allowed to form my own opinion and find it to be different to those of other people? Can I not question this?

All I wanted was to think for myself. Conformity is overrated.

I think the answer is to stop reading reviews…that way you won’t know that everyone thinks the albums are great, so your expectations won’t be so high and you’ll appreciate the albums for how good they really are.

Fleet Foxes are amazing. And i loved they’re live show. I have a feeling the next time i see them there will be more than the 40 people that were in attendance when i saw them last. Good for them!

Visually, I can see why you might compare Beach House to The Fiery Furnaces. I had the same thought when I saw them. Otherwise, I am with your mate on this one!

I thought that Fleet Foxes were on a whole different level when I saw them play and I recommend the experience highly. However, I am still a bit underconvinced about their recorded material relative to the huge accolades that it has garnered.

Do not get me wrong, I like the album and (especially the) EP a lot. However, for me, they belong to a clutch of albums that seem to be getting a bit more praise this year than I think that they might have gotten in other years.
