One of the best albums of the last decade
This is the only album I liked better than Radiohead's In Rainbows in 2007. Beyond brilliant. Excellent throughout.

Boxer is thoroughly enjoyable
The National's "Boxer" is an album like no other that I have heard. This fact, along with the superb quality of the songs, has ensured that "Boxer" remains high on my play list.
