Hailing from Frankenmuth, Michigan, Greta Van Fleet has captured the attention of rock fans everywhere. Their sound resembles that of the greatest rock bands of the 70s and 80s, namely Led Zeppelin. They bring a modern twist to a classic style of rock that many of our parents grew up on. From the incredible vocal performance that Josh Kiszka consistently provides, to the long instrumental stretches filled with commanding guitar and drum solos, Greta Van Fleet never ceases to put their all into every song. Watch to see Helaman’s reaction to your newest favorite rock band!

You will like this album more after a few more listens.
One of the things they love, and that’s the beauty of their writing, you come up with your own interpretation of the songs, and it’s always right !
Great background info and explanations of the lyrics & themes of the album. This is my favorite album! Their most recent album Starcatcher is amazing as well
Your analysis was fair and honest. I agree with others that their music grows on you as you listen a few times. There is a lot of nuance and great musicianship in this album.
I have a lot of GVF songs on my Clone Hero (knock off of GH) including The Weight of Dreams 🤘🏼
