Thank God nobody knows who this band is. I saw them play live and they are exciting. I have actually listened to the band since High/Low and really dug that album. The Promixity Effect was a damn good album and you could tell that they were starting to find their sound. And then came Let Go and what a masterpiece. I look forward to hearing from these guys in the future for sure. If they even had a publicst, they would sell millions of records. But they don't and the masses just don't get it. But we do and we are lucky for that. "Paper Boats" is the best cd ender ever. Bar none.… Expand

Mid-year contender for album of the year...every track is solid.

The kind of CD that all of the sudden you hear deadening silence, and realize that you just listened to the whole thing...

a true desert island disc

Wow, Rob Mitchum really doesn't know what he talking about. I have been a huge fan since "High/Low" and this is by far the best CD that Nada Surf has put out, and one of the best albums I have ever heard. Period. Their new one is good, too, but "Let Go" just can't be topped.

I couldn't believe someone gave this album a bad review. How does rob mitchum stay employed? If I were that bad at my job, I'd be donating sperm and blood for a living. Anyway, soaring vocals, perfectly layered harmonies, and melodies that are run circles around the bands these guys (unfairly) get compared to (Weezer? These guys are writing the stuff weezer wishes they could write).

One of my favorite records. I've been spinning it off and on for nearly two years, and its sweet exuberance hasn't worn thin yet. Buy it, treasure it, tell your friends—this is an unsung classic.

Beautiful record. Pitchfork can suck a dick for all I care.

near perfect. one of the best CDs in a long time

Definitely one of the best album this year

what a beautiful album. blonde on blonde is my favorite song, but barely. rob mitchum from pitchfork is a complete moron, look up his other reviews for more proof. Stylus is trying too hard to be pitchfork.

Poop, but wonderfully entertaining poop. Listening is enjoyable, and even fun!!!

This is one of my favorite records despite the fact that High/Low and the Karmic Ep are two of the most god awful pieces of garbage that i have ever heard. You need this album now!

Pitchfork is the most superficial music review site that has ever existed.

the best cd by the best band ever.... sorry to sound like a little MTV baby, but its true

I'm not a huge nada surf fan. In fact, I stumbled onto this album by accident, but it grabbed me, pulled me in, and made me fall in love with it. Pop songs that truly captivate, rather than just pass the time.

Awesome record. Can't get enough of it. By the way, the guys at Pitchfork.com wouldn't know good rock records if they stroked their cocks for 'em.

Rob Mitchem, what a friggin DB. Does he even write for PF anymore?

This is my favorite album. A masterpiece it is. I suspect that those critical reviewers (Mojo, Blender) just didn't listen long enough. Just because a record doesn't sound like something "new" on first listen, doesn't make it any less valuable. "Let Go" may not be the first "Alternative Pop/Rock" record, but that doesn't mean it isn't the best. P.S. "Pitchfork" are just a bunch of hipster-doofuses. Do they like anything that doesn't sound like it was recorded in a garage (not that recording in a garage is bad).… Expand

amazing album. the best album i've ever heard. don't ever stop listening to it, for it just gets better and better and better.

the best album ever.

this album has done it for me. it never has let me down. i can just let go.

I'm making this post in May 2006 to say -- WOW, Nada Surf has really held up their end of the bargain. This album is amazing and they've kept the pace with each successive release. I can only pray that Pitchfork is looking back on their short-sighted, downright obnoxious review from 3 years ago and realizes what total idiots they are. Long live Nada Surf!

"Well son", I said. This is my favourite album of all time"...
