The calibre of poster who has given them the seal says it all. Everyone else isn’t worth taking note of.

I never took much notice of these boys but they aren’t my cup of tea .

He doesn’t like the War on Drugs either.

Lovely fella offline though.

Innocent as they come.

New album released today, WoD fans. To largely positive reviews.

Pitchfork have given it 8.7. The Irish Times only 3 stars.

I shall give it a listen while driving down to @ChocolateMice stag tomorrow.

The Irish Times :roll_eyes:

I’m crying into my keyboard here — it’s a masterpiece.

Many people would give the same reaction about Pitchfork! Reviews mean nothing really if you love an album yourself.

No I always need the validation of a good review from a reputable source.

I’ve been listening to these chaps a bit lately based on recommendations here. I’m enjoying most of it (mainly the tunes with a Tom Petty, Josh Ritter, Bob Dylan vibe) and skip past the dirge (Springsteen type stuff).

Enjoying the new album. Great that the National’s new one is out next month too.
