I've read a few reviews on the album and they have been mixed. a positive one in the nytimes, and a negative one in the Post.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I think it is a very very good album. Not quite as good as Boxer, but I really love some of these songs. Long live the National!
Pitchfork gave it an 8.7, by contrast they gave Boxer an 8.6. I don't think there's any doubt that it's a terrific record and anyone who really appreciates the band knows you can't really write a fair review until you've listen to the record for about a month.
