The National - I Am Easy To Find (May 17, 2019) Album • Page 41

Hairpin Turns is far better than I ever appreciated when it was a pre-release. I think it’s in competition for the best song on here.

 

i can do favs by album

Lucky You

Sleep Well Beast
I Am Easy to Find

 

Also I’m not familiar with Eve Owens at all. Does she sound as incredible on everything else as she does on Where Is Her Head?

 

god i love rylan so much

 

The album is growing on me. Rylan is definitely the best track.

 

We all love the album so I think we can all collectively admit Underwater can go.

 

Idk but it provided closure on a confusing Instagram post from last year of Aaron and Clive Owen in their studio so I’m thankful

 

I am so in love with this album. May end up being my favorite of theirs.

Every time I hear Not in Kansas I think of this song.

 

That version of Sleep All Summer is one of the best covers I’ve ever heard.

 

That record also rules hard.

 

I've gotten to the point with this album where I feel like every song on it could bring me to tears lol

 

Nah

 

Listened to this again today, and all the nuances/textures are starting to take hold. Love all the guest vocals, and what they add to the album.

Also Spotify put on I’ll Still Destroy You after, and though I don’t go back to SWB that often it still is a great album. That song is great especially

 

I should listen to SVE

 

I don’t need any of the interludes tbh

 

The interludes make up approximately 2.5 minutes on a 64 minute record. Does anyone really care?

I see an alternate universe where Underwater doesn’t exist and people complain that Rylan into Light Years is too jarring.

 

Even after watching the film I'd still axe Dust Swirls first, which really functions like an interlude but is just longer

 

I think honestly Dust Swirls works as an album intro but might be too jarring. I prefer YHYSWY blowing the fucking doors off as an opener, because it really just GOES IN.

Do you want someone to remind you tomorrow? ;)

 

"Rylan" into "Light Years" is actually really great. I think I like it more than having "Underwater" in there.

 

Here's a massive banner image on the 4AD website for y'all to use as a wallpaper or whatever, you're welcome

 

Quoting a line from an Ohio band to make a point about feeling out-of-place in NYC...I see what you did there, Matt

 

Have you not?

 

No sadly

 

Sharon Van Etten’s latest album is one of my favourite albums of the year so far

 

Seventeen has still not been dethroned as SOTY
