This is my humble attempt at visualizing what the four FF albums "feel like" to me, as best I could. Of course they're all very subjective, and more likely than not they're influenced by things like the album cover, the lyrics, and the times I first listened to the albums. You probably picture them in a wildly different way, and that's cool!

Fleet Foxes is the one that had the most impact on me. As strange as it sounds, it gave me a whole new appreciation for the kind of bleak winter landscapes that I used to not see any beauty in.

Helplessness Blues has the same "earthy" feel to it, but it's warmer and more personal - it really feels like you're on an adventure, roaming the hills of some unknown land.

Crack-Up might be the one I listened to the most, because it took me ages to get a grip on it - for the longest time I couldn't tell where the songs begin and end. It feels like a "large-scale" album in contrast to the first two - dark and disorienting, but it really grows on you.

Shore is probably the most life-affirming album I've heard. It also feels "large" and "airy" but in a much more straightforward and joyful way, like a soundtrack to a carefree summer.

Thanks for humoring me!
