The Walkmen - A Hundred Miles Off

As usual with the Walkmen, a couple of killer songs (most notably album bookends "Louisiana" and "Another One Goes By") and a handful of other good ones, and the balance fairly indistinct. (Also, I never noticed before how much the singer sounds like Bob Dylan sometimes.) I like their sense of drama, and at their best they can be genuinely exciting, but somehow these guys have never really taken with me.
