Definitely The Walkmen's most full-bodied album and certainly their deepest. This is one of the most romantic albums crafted in recent memory. If I hear a song more sincere than "New Country" then I will have complete faith in where music is heading.
Eric C. gave it a9:
Though widely labeled as a much quieter and subtle album than fans of the Walkmen might be used to, this album is still immediately stunning. I'm not a huge Walkmen fan, but this cd just knocked me out. They may not be the most consisten band, but when they're at their best, well, they can stand comfortably next to the Arcade Fire or Shins or whichever other indie mega group you can think of. And they are at their best here, possibly at the best they've ever been.
Seth C gave it a10:
Their best record from start to finish. The rest of their records are also great, but this is the one that people twenty years from now will go to first.
Scott M gave it a4:
I really wanted to like this album because a buddy of mine recommended it, but after 5 or 6 listens I just don't get what the hype is all about. His Dylanesque voice annoys me and I'm a Dylan fan! There are a few songs that are decent but not enough for me to listen to it again.
Joel W. gave it a9:
Its fantastic. The lead sounds like Bob Dylan. The music is warm, relaxing and moody. Perhaps simply, comfortably atmospheric. It's good listening, and after the albums 12th subsequent whirl round the stereo, I'm still paying it due attention.
Scott C. gave it a9:
If you like this it would be awesome if you'd check out the podcasts I've started doing. We focus on bands like Walkmen... livingears. blogspot. com
Gary M. gave it a10:
This is their most accessible album to date, despite not having any song that sounds like "The Rat" but every song, from start to finish, is solid, and the songwriting, production, lyrics, and singing is better than any Walkmen album that came before and anything else I've heard this year or even in the past few years. I saw them live twice in L.A. and both nights were unbelievable. They seemed happier and friendlier than they did in shows I saw in the past.
