The National - First Two Pages... & Laugh Track Album • Page 41

controversial take but ok

 

Tropic Morning News reminds me of Ben Howard for some reason. Got New Order Tshirt on repeat though. Love this band.

 

New songs are decent, prob an improvement on the last album but not too hard (IMO).

Feel like the trio of Boxer-HV-TWFM is going to be hard to ever beat or get close to again. And it was so good that it's hard to let go of the band even though the last couple haven't done much for me.

 

Name a band who has had a better nonconsecutive run than Sad Songs > Alligator > Boxer > TWFM > SWB > IAETF. You can’t.

^ That’s why I trust them on whatever chill vibe party they’ve cooked up on FTPoF.

 

Radiohead

 

It was a rhetorical question asshole.

 

Man, if I could...

 

The fact you included IAETF and not HV is just insane

 

HV brought in the Bloodbuzz Boyz into the fandom and they’ve run amok, trying to sully the reputation of every record that has come after it. Even if HV was a great record, it wouldn’t be worth that cost.

 

That's their shtick apparently. Also bold putting IAETF in there.

 

Ugh I know. It is easy to find in this thread sorry

 

Nope

 

Radiohead's run is better for sure

 

I love both bands but cmon Radiohead is better.

 

I mean I think there’s definitely an argument to be made if people prefer The National’s run? They are both two of the best bands out there and are both incredibly consistent.

 

Quick, someone rank every Radiohead & The National album.

(I’d do it, but I don’t care about either band’s full discography, sorry.)

In Rainbows >

 

Sad Songs at the top is wild

 

In rainbows at the bottom is criminal.

 

That list looks like album titles thrown into a randomizer.

 

King of Limbs is a significantly better Radiohead record than most people give it credit for

 

Radiohead

 

I'd rank it ahead of HTTT
