The National - Sleep Well Beast (September 8, 2017) Album • Page 15

Was skeptical about how much I'd like this record but I think I'm officially back in after skimming that P4K livestream

 

There's nothing more I'd want than seeing this now lol

 

Full Glasto set up on the BBC iPlayer now. Think I'm going to skip the new tracks - seems they played quite a few.

 

There's a very compelling argument to be made that The Nationals b-sides and non album tracks are some of the best in the business currently

 

correct

 

Am glad we're on the same page daddy-o

Boxer has probably my favorite b-sides

 

their b-sides are better than a lot of band's album tracks. just a very, very special band. and yeah, I agree with you on that for sure.

 

Radiohead very easily has my favorite b-sides but goddamn if The National's aren't spectacular as well.

 

I'm kind of a lapsed The National fan. I got into them around Alligator and remember Boxer and High Violet coming out and just being absolutely blown away, but Trouble Will Find Me didn't do anything for me at all. I bought it and remember trying to listen to it but I'm not sure I ever made it all the way through.

These new songs all sound really good but holy shit does Turtleneck sound amazing.

 

so you haven't heard Pink Rabbits then? damn

 

I don't think I have heard "Pink Rabbits" but I'm gonna try to give TWFM another listen later today if I can find the time.

 

Graceless will fuck you up

 

Trouble Will Find Me is, by far, my favorite release from this band. I think it's Matt's best work, lyrically. This album just fucks me up

 

It looks like the pitchfork video got taken down. Anyone know where I might be able to listen to the new tracks?

 

Slipped.

Carry on.

 

paypal me 50 bucks

 

35. Take it or leave it.

 

I'm ded

 

guilty party is on itunes/Apple Music

 

it is gorgeous and stunning and why did anyone doubt that this album would be anything less than stellar?

 

Maaaaan. This song is like exactly what I wished they'd go for after TWFM. Like spot on. Damn.

 

Yep. It's perfect.

Fuck this album is gonna be their best ever huh

 

Structurally this song reminds me a lot of Start a War. I think that they're making the album announcements and releasing singles at midnight seems to be leading us to associate this record with late night listening as well. TSODITD was a song I like more, but I could see this growing on me as well. I just hope there are a handful of more upbeat tracks, felt like a lot of piano-driven ballads were played at the Paris show.

 

I like Guilty Party a lot more now. studio version is perfect
