    Schizophrenic in its mellowness and straight out country guitar-outs. Probably the second best Neil Young album you'll hear this year.

    This album is absolutely outstanding. As with most albums that aren't about stupid pop rock, I highly recommend you read the lyrics as you listen along to get the full experience. This album is wonderfully diverse. From the rich, sorrowful lyrics of "Ticket Taker" to the creepy instrumentals of "Music Box" to the hardish rock of "The Horizon is a Beltway" The Low Anthem demonstrates it isn't another indie band singing about a bad break up. I highly recommend this album, you won't regret buying it.… Expand

    If you read Christian Hoard's 3-sentence review in RollingStone, you'll realize he may not have even listened to the whole album. I can't believe RS even paid him for such a lazy, slapdash effort.

    I own about 6,000 albums overall and this is one of my all time favs ever. Ben Knox Miller is a genius as are the others in this band. They are uber talented and everyone should know them and listen to them. They are truely a beacon in the night of an otherwise trashy music industry. Too bad shrimp has no clue who these guys are for they are not the Killers or Coldplay.

    Oh My God is this a Bob Dylan record?! A really good album, wears the influence of Electric Dylan clearly on the sleeve but there is also a touch of Tom Waits in there as well. If your into folk and are a fan of the aforementioned artists then you will really enjoy this one. It's not the most original record but the song writing is of a very high level lyrically and musically. Well worth investing your time and money in this one.… Expand

    There's a lot of ground covered here, of course, yet the band never loses sight of its destination, and those who can keep up are in for a tuneful journey.

    Somehow, though, it soars, the title track especially.

    Whether soft or loud, these 12 songs are exquisite.
