"This five-plus hour, 59 track Grateful Dead tribute album is a monument of living history - an image of their golden road branching out endlessly. Curated by Brooklyn indie-rock luminaries the National, it conspicuously slights the Dead's jam-band progeny to stake out more interesting claims and find richer connections".
"This epic compilation produced by the National's Bryce and Aaron Dessner serves as both a fine showcase of the Dead's iconic songs and a who's who of current indie rock".
