I had sorta written this album off (with the exception of "Louisiana") months ago but its really pretty good.

Dude's voice can still get on my nerves occasionally but overall, I'm a fan of the record.

Probably my biggest dissappointment in a while. Haven't listened since it came out but I thought it was terrible. Kill Yourself vocals.

i'm a big fan of this album. so many killer tracks (emma, get me a lemon, lost in boston, tenleytown, this job is killing me). i don't get the hating on his voice...i completely dig on it.

I'm a big fan of all the fans of this record.
Good people.
So, I should llike the record, too.
Of course, it could be a steaming pile of dung. But that's a chance I'll just have to take.

I love the Walkmen, the vocals, the whole package. That being said, this is my least favorite album of all their work.

I don't much like the Walkmen, the vocals, the whole package. That being said, this is my favorite album of all their work, but still will end up towards the bottom of my year-end list.
