Title: Good for Hold Steady beginners
Review: Okay, I didn't really care for Hold Steady's previous album, "Separation Sundays." It had great lyrics, but the musical side was lackluster and the lyrics, though the saving grace, were often hard to decipher. "Boys and Girls in America" is, however, excellent. The lyrics maintain the same quality, and the musical end has improved drastically. If you've heard a little of the Hold Steady and don't get the appeal, check out this album. Or, if you're looking for a jump-off point, this is it. If you like this album, then you should look into "Separation Sundays," but I would advise going with this one first.
