    I'm really feeling the King Krule tracks.

    asenseabsurd, you just described why i liked crooks and lovers more - it was more interesting and experimental despite being less cohesive than csfly. though i think the few standout tracks on csfly are better, i just see it as a more boring dance album. i like king krule, but a lot of the other vocals are either distracting or just plain meh. god damn, made to stray and sullen ground, though....

    CSFLY is such a step up from Crooks & Lovers. C&L was so hit or miss and such a mess but this release is so much more cohesive.

    to me C&L felt like a bunch of ideas about what "post-dubstep mount kimbie" was "supposed" to sound like all thrown together. It felt incredibly hit-or-miss. Don't get me wrong, songs like 'before I move off' and 'field' are incredible, but as a whole it just didn't have much of a punch. More form for show than feeling and substance. The Maybes EP captured my heart. Probably my favorit EP of all time. I was severely disappointed with the direction C&L took. Cold Springs runs back to the vibes of Maybes EP for me. The vocals might be weird at points - I don't like some of them - but they all feel cohesive to the emotional thrust of the album. I don't think I will listen to many of the tracks out of album context, but in that context they are beautiful. It is my album of the year at this point.

    I like it too. But "C&L" is the better album. "CSFLY" sounds like a completely different band.

    Wow didn't expect such a negative reaction to this album. I love King Krule's vocals, all the tracks on here are quality so far, I think it fits really nicely into their discography.

    I hope the instrumental or dub version of Cold Spring Fault Less Youth will be released. The vocal tracks in it are pretty annoying.

    Home Recording is horrible, the vocals just don't go with the song at all.

    The thing that made Crooks & Lovers great was that is was so unique, a trailblazer. Cold Spring Fault Less Youth wouldn't have been anything special (or done it justice) if it was Crooks & Lovers II. I think this is the right direction for Mount Kimbie. Also, King Krule is fucking amazing.

    Pretty neat album, and I love King Krule. Can't wait for that dude to drop his album.
