What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

GRIZZLY BEAR "veckatimest" cd,2009.

another let down recommendation by Corey, that makes it around three duds this year from him. lets hope 2012 is better in terms of his choices for me!
anyway, these guys got rave reviews for this album when released, placed in almost every end of year "best of" lists all over the world,Grammy nominations etc etc...
but none of that means nothing if you dont like it, and i most certainly do not like it!
lots of experimental sounds here mixed with harmonies, guess the harmonies come pretty close to Fleet Foxes in parts, but they are not enough to save this one from the do not like rating.
MH warned me about these guys as he got one of their albums after featuring on end of year best of lists and was also disapointed with them.
maybe overtime this may grow on me as a 'background' album but certainly not as one to sit and listen to.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
