4.0 excellent | TheBalderdashMan | June 4th 11 | So it turns out that the National are such a great band that they can now just crap out a fantastic album with seemingly no effort at all. Still, it's a shame that no one-right up to the band itself-apparently had any faith in this material. As it is, the whole thing plays like Boxer's bonus disc, a slapped-together collection of demos, live cuts, rejected tracks, and apparently everything else that had never been released. This doesn't prevent nearly every song from being a revelation, but it doesn't add up to an album. Flaws and all, the Virginia EP is a treasure, but it's hard not to wonder how much more it could have been if anyone had tried to make it more than a quickie release of whatever the National still had lying around.
