Rerelease des 2003er-Debutalbums der von Ohio nach New York übergesiedelten Band. Der Boston phoenix schrieb: A self-assured, well-written debut from a band who get just about everything right. The National understand that the best rock is built on tension carved from contradictory impulses: simplicity and sophistication; decadence and decorum; primal urge and cerebral reflection. *Brassland
