_nliketheletter Cardinal directions never felt more sacred than when hearing these riffs. The rustle of decades worth of sagebrush and wheatfields leading lines towards the future. Favorite track: Have You Stopped to Notice.

Genie Boots This album easily takes me to nature and into past experiences in the rockies and in Yellowstone. It pushes me to seek Gods creation out. Favorite track: More I See.

jacobsetser Best album of 2018 thus far!

paintermomm ethereal, dreamy, thought provoking, sensitive, introspective, delightful dessert for the mind. Favorite track: Have You Stopped to Notice.

Lori Koslosky Don’t want to say too much 😜. Just listen, your ears will thank you, it’s like a lavender pillow for your heart to rest for a minute (as long as you aren’t allergic to lavender-in that case it’s not like lavender but more like a hypoallergenic pillow for your heart to rest upon for a minute.). Seriously, thank you Mr. S. Carey.

about

'Hundred Acres' finds Carey at his most confident, mature, and grounded, writing the strongest songs of his career. At its core, the album is a poetic treatise on what is truly necessary in life, a surprisingly utilitarian art project that underscores the power of enduring. Carey challenges himself and the listener to strive for a near-utopian ideal of returning to a simpler way of life, and loving those around you, to heal personal wounds.

Carey employed a smaller, more focused scale of instrumentation on 'Hundred Acres', centered around guitar, synths, pedal steel, strings, drums and percussion, with his soothing vocals front and center -- more distinct than ever. In effect, the album’s production echoes its underlying message: the beauty in simplicity. Relying on more traditional song structures instead of the Steve Reich-ian repetitions of his past work, a new balance is struck that creates something unique. The result is a collection of poetic yet clear-eyed songs that both stand brightly on their own and tightly weave together to create a powerful album.

about

S. Carey Eau Claire, Wisconsin

S. Carey’s chosen musical expression is a hugely beatific, restorative panorama of beauty - perfect given how landscape and the wonder of nature inspire much of Carey’s imagery. Like a weathered mountain range changing shadow form and color, or the ebb and flow of a river’s current, his music is simultaneously restful and rhythmic, complex and simple, and always evolving. ... more

This is undoubtedly my single favorite album of all time. It feels like such a perfect culmination of all the themes and ideas Fleet Foxes has been working with since 2008. It answers many of the questions found on both Helplessness Blues and Crack-Up, and represents an incredible maturation and growth in Robin Pecknold's perspective. Their other albums are certainly masterpieces, but this, in my opinion, is their magnum opus. I doubt it will be recognized as such in its time. isaiah_stuart
