Sleeping volcanoes
Under our heathen shambala
Ready to blow molten shale
Any minute
Help me Armageddon!
Help me to be calm
Help me Armageddon!
And I’ll help you with your song
We’re the refugees
Drifting your trees
Our the shadow never sleeps
All over the world
All over the world
Little boys and girls
Don’t forget the old ones too
Someday that might be you
We’re all over the world
Thank you to the authentic fake
Our true enigmatic uncle
Welcome to coo coo land!
Home of the fake
Help us Armageddon!
And we’ll help you every day
Help us Armageddon!
And we’ll help you in every way
In Babylon
Though you wake up and find us gone
Our beat goes on and on
We’re all over the world
We’re all over the world
Don’t forget the elders
Someday there might be helter-skelter
All over the world
Until the next world
The third world
Or the next world war
Class war all over the world
We’re all over the world
We’re all over the world
We’re over it!

Maybe the best thing David ever did, which makes me extremely sad. A Jews record in all but name, but more direct in its lyricism without losing that indescribable feeling, that beauty and sorrow and lighthearted sarcasm all rolled into one profound set of lyrics that are David Berman. Not to mention the band playing on the record is probably the best Berman ever recorded with. Rest in Peace DCB. jack_thorn16
An earthy yet somewhat chilly record about life, death, and reconnection, the latest from LOMA experiments with a turn towards the gloomy. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 16, 2024

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
