The National - Sleep Well Beast (September 8, 2017) Album • Page 64

Ugh They’re still playing the two weakest tracks from SWB that i think kinda suck the energy out of the show...Walk It Back and Born To Beg

 

Damn I love both of those songs. Could see how it would affect the live show though

 

Northside 2018

Hmmmm

 

this is a different festival, songkick matched it a northside in denmark

 

I am very into Born To Beg, but Walk It Back is still probably my least favorite song on the album.

Still good tho

 

I haven’t been particularly drawn back to this :(

 

If only gets better with time for me.

 

During the daytime it’s my second or third favorite of their albums, but at night time it blows everything else out of the water

 

This could be cool. I'd be interested to hear how the whole album sounds performed a decade later.

Damn does Matt look young in that pic

 

Dammit I’m gonna pay way too much for this on ebay

 

I don't think it will be too hard to come across. It's out of 4000.

 

My 2 favorite bands are coming to my city. I'm freaking out

MO POP FESTIVAL

 

If they're playing P4kfest this year I'm 100% going. Its driving me nuts that they're revealing the lineup over the course of three weeks its so obnoxious.

 

The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking that the National has to be headlining one of the days of P4K

 

I really think it would make sense considering they're in Detroit (WOOOO!!) the following weekend.

 

I haven't listened to this since it came out I really need to get familiar

 

That's exactly what I'm banking on. I've never seen Tame Impala so just the two of them would be enough to sell me on flying out there.

 

Dawg

 

It didn't hit with me as immediately as some of their other albums, but it's well worth it. Now it's got some of my favorite National songs on it.

 

Day I die is already one of my favorites by them but I haven't given the whole album a thorough examination yet for some reason, I really need to considering how important all their albums are to me

 

Matt's lyrical style really changed my perspective on how I view lyrics and what I expect out of them, he really raised the bar for me in that regard and caused me to push my comprehension skills to a new level

 

Guilty Party is that song. Maybe my favorite the band has ever written.

 

Guilty Party is so damn good.

I saw them three times after the album was released and was pleasantly surprised that they played a lot of the newer stuff. Guess that helped my appreciation a bit.

 

Guilty party is my easy favorite
