    8.5, definately stronger than BSS's last album. Great album, alot better overall than their debut which was a bit out there and slow (with a few really really good songs). Arts and Crafts for the most part can't miss.

    Richer and wilder than his first album, still a little too repetitive as you reach the end of the experience. Some of the songs create very cinematic atmospheres, like a weird and hypnotic roadmovie soundtrack.

    Some great beats and interesting instrumentation, but overall few songs have either teeth or heart.

    Though the songs here are so much crisper and more exciting, they don't sacrifice the easygoing looseness of Apostle's Folkloric Feel debut.

    Where Folkloric Feel opted for cobwebby murk, National Anthem of Nowhere dovetails in bright, tidy corners. It's at once straight-laced and funky in the way that only indie rock can be.

    An album that is warm and inviting without being overpowering and rich and varied enough to warrant repeated listening.
