The Walkmen remind me a lot of The National. not in tone, but in songwriting approach.

Album Rating: 5.0

Never listened to The Walkmen, am I missing out?

Album Rating: 4.0

The way I'd describe it is every common criticism thrown at The National (dull, boring, same-y, dreary, nothing new indie, etc) make more sense being levelled at The Walkmen.



I don't dislike them and they have some good tunes here and there - but overall they remind me how The National are something more than a meat and potatoes millennial indie act.



I wouldn't put them on the Interpol sorta level either. Bit below that. Classic 3/5 band.

Album Rating: 4.0

It doesn't help that I find the singer's voice almost as unpleasant to listen to as the dude from Cold War Kids a lot of the time.

Album Rating: 5.0

Doof is an idiot



Boney listen to the last three Walkman records

Album Rating: 4.0

Prepare to be very bored Boney. Just spun the one I hadn't heard before, the debut. It's a 3/5.



I also played the 'Spotify Top 5 Most Played' tunes as a refresher...a less remarkable selection you'd be hard pressed to find.



Workmanlike millennial indie.

Walkmen is like the best indie band that people dont even know about

Album Rating: 4.0

But in the internet age everyone knows every band that's released six damn albums and get reviewed highly on Pitchfork, they just never sparked much interest.

Album Rating: 5.0

Oh damn klap, you reviewed all of the last three Walkmen records at a 4.5. This is some serious klapcore we're talking about here.

Doof I see they have Spoon as a "similar band" so perhaps they'd be a case like that where we disagree.

Album Rating: 4.0

I prefer the Spoon singer's voice but they do also bring the 'raspy'.



Like I said, 3 out of 5 band, following my RYM rating system that makes them 'very good'. They're good, maybe very good at times. Nothing more than that for me though.

Album Rating: 5.0

I'll give "You & Me" a spin for the sake of having an opinion, that seems to be the highest rated of those last three.

Album Rating: 5.0

Spoon and The Walkmen arent all that much alike. Dont trust the similar artists section on this site.



You & Me or Bows + Arrows are probably the best places to start.

Album Rating: 4.0

The vocals are the most similar part of the two bands...and even they're not all that similar.

Album Rating: 5.0

Listening to You & Me... First track sounds more like Grizzly Bear than any of the other comparisons I've seen.

Album Rating: 5.0

album is ridiculous

Album Rating: 5.0

You and me is my favorite by them, Canadian Girl is bliss

Album Rating: 5.0

Y&M is probably my favorite too. B+A is real close.

Album Rating: 5.0

the run from you & me thru heaven is GOAT

Album Rating: 5.0
