Agreed. "White Winter Hymnal" is good, though.

Xploding Plastix is where it's fucking at. Great album/band.

I agree with almost all of that, and will add this:

"Blue Ridge Mountains" by Fleet Foxes. Seriously, WWH is not even the best song on that album.

It's one of my least favourites on the album actually. And I don't say that to sound cool or whatever, cause usually I love the singles. But this one... I don't.

Blue Ridge Mountains or WWH? If you mean the former, then we have problems.

WWH is about my least favourite.

i also prefer Blue Ridge

WWH is great... but def far from the best song on the record

Oliver James, Ragged Wood, Your Protector, & He Doesn't Know Why i think are my faves

Orpheus · **Posted:** Tue Dec 16, 2008 8:03 pm

I hated that Cadence Weapon album.

I like both Blue Ridge and Your Protector better than WWH

Guys, Blue Ridge is the best song on that album, hands down.

If there's a better Fleet Foxes song than "White Winter Hymnal," it's "Mykonos"

Isles from the special edition is a cool b-side.

no love for sun rises?

that's one of my favs.

I love that Fleet Foxes album, but that definitely isn't the best song on it
