Loved it.

Before The National were big and musically increible, they had to work for it; and this album is what helped them grow to success in the music world. I love this album; it has a lot of brilliant tracks that will keep "someone with taste," addicted. The bands early efforts were not created and released in vain; they have more than the potential to be heard. So, purchase this baby, sit down, sip some whiskey, and let the beauty of this work of art take you for a ride.

This band is my new drug.

@Robert Marchione: I just bought this and I don't think you understand The National. The screaming on "Slipping Husband" & "Murder Me Rachael" helps convey the frustration the characters are feeling. Coming from Matt B., it doesn't sound forced or gratuitous. I've been discovering their albums backwards and I've never been displeased w the screams. "Abel" and "Mr. November" are amazing, cathartic and great driving songs. If you've loved The National's other stuff, this WON'T disappoint.

Jump on it...

The National bandwagon, that is. Boxer is by far their best album, but this is my second favorite. If you like to get your cry on, this is a good place to start.
