"A surprising choice at number 1 perhaps, and whilst not many critics would even put it in their end of year list let alone above Fleet Foxes, I can't help the fact that it's my favourite album of 2008"
"I'm a fan of their earlier work rather than the stadium rock stuff but there's enough on here to keep me happy - "Closer", "Crawl", "Notion" especially"
"Slightly more experimental follow-up from the Strokes guitarist but plenty of songs hit the right spot, e.g. "Bargain of a Century", "The Boss Americana""
