Hopes: Depois de dois marcos como, Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me Is Gone(2002), e essencialmente, Bows + Arrows(2004), espera-se que a banda tenha esquecido o último album, A Hundred Miles Off (2006), e retome aos procedimentos dos dois primeiros, num misto de confidência, fúria, grandiosidade, teatrialidade, sensibilidade e inspiração rock.

The Walkmen words: "This album is the culmination of a rigorous two-year process endured as the band struggled to split time between Philadelphia and New York, usually riding buses five days a week to commute between their two rehearsal spaces.

Hopes: Depois de uma estreia auspiciosa, com Almost Kill Me (2004), seguido de um registo mais polido, mas não menos excitante como Separation Sunday(2005), espera-se que os Hold Steady, e após o lançamento de Boys and Girls in America(2006), vinguem com o seu rock clássico inundado em pianos, feito em pubs e garagens, na voz confusa e nasal de Craig Finn.
Hold Steady words: "I believe it captures a band hitting their creative peak, as well as enjoying each other's creativity and company."
