You & Me was probably the most perfect record I heard this year. It stayed in my stereo the longest, even after ripping it onto the computer and was the only record of the year I bought on both vinyl and CD. It was soft and moody while still managing to rock with seeming reckless abandon, yet The Walkmen had control the entire time. They showed bits and pieces of some classy influences and in doing so, put together the soundtrack to this recent fall/winter, and the most solid album of the year. –Kyle Rother
