THE WALKMEN I'm late in reviewing this, meaning that everyone who's heard anyhting about this cd has already heard that Hamilton Leithauser sounds like Dylan on this record, and it's unmistakably evident only seconds into opener, "Louisiana." Now that I've got the Dylan thing out of the way, I can go head and say that this is their third really good record. Like all Walkmen albums, there is an slight imbalance between good songs and really great ones, but it doesn't bother me in the least bit, with the Walkmen traveling into new territory with no fear. It's exactly that fearlessness that helps them pull off such songs as "All The Hands And The Cook," and the incredibly fast moving "This Job is Killing Me," which sounds a bit like Bad Religion or the Descendents. standout tracks: "Emma, Get Me a Lemon" and "Brandy Alexander" |
