Band of Horses had everything but a sweet spot. Critics said that
Everything All The Time and
Cease To Begin were far too emotional to be effective "alternative folk" albums and they said that
Infinite Arms lacked enough emotion to be a great "alternative folk" album. Even though Band of Horses had created three of the 21st centuries best songs, have created two great albums, and have become one of the more popular acts in their genre, critics made it sound like they couldn't do anything right. No matter what BOH did the critical hypocrisy sounding their releases would always stop them from being recognized for what they really are: one of the more consistent indie folks acts of our generation.
