Ditto (albeit in digital format).
 
 It's pretty good -- but it's not Alligator.

I'm going to wait a bit before deciding how it stacks up in comparison. It tooks months before I loved Alligator & my favorite song on there - Geese of Beverly Road - I did not initially like.
 
 Boxer is a beautiful & haunting record tho. Obviously influenced by their side project - the Clogs. The one immediate observation is the restraint. No explosions of emotion that have been the highlight of previous records.

 For whatever it's worth - Boxer now has an 89 on Meta:

i dont know if this album has been brought up or discussed on here, but it should be...the best new band out of the great white north.

i'm finding much delight in the new Dinosaur Jr. record.
 
 with the exception of track 4 which is kind of a stinker.

 Review by Jo-Ann Greene (AMG)
 Americana with attitude is the best way to describe the Avett Brothers' music, a sublime blend of folk, country, hillbilly, and blues, swirled through with pop, rock, and a touch of wry punk. The Avett Brothers pick their way through America's folk styles, and deliver them in ways you'd never expect, all wrapped around lyrics, sometimes wry, sometimes dead-serious, but all delivered with the band's signature intensity. A fabulous album from a band that just keeps getting better.
