    I love this album. Highlights for me are Fake Empire, Mistaken For Strangers, Slow Show, Apartment Story, and Gospel

    The whole thing just has a magical feel. They reallly hit the spot with the album & they are even better live!

    To think i saw them open for arcade fire last year. :D

    What a show!

    Ditto on all of that.

    Saw them open for Arcade Fire to a mostly uninterested crowd, but it was a really good performance and enough to get me interested in them. Since I've picked up Alligator(very good) and Boxer(one of my favorite albums to be released in the last few years). I then saw them headlining to a sold out crowd which was fantastic.

    Great band all-around, one of the top bands out right now IMO.

    The only weak spot on Boxer IMO is "Squalar Victoria" which is strange because it's the only song with a memorable hook, and I'm usually a sucker for good hooks. The drumming is fantastic and I have to blast the album whenever I hear it, even if there is no screaming.
