days of brutalism
and

turns

 

If anything is boring it's that pitchfork review, it's the most predictable piece of writing I think I've ever read from them.

 

Been awhile since a record has had me wanting to post lyrics all over my socials like I’m 15 again

 

Yeah, this album is stunning.

 

Scott Devendorf Ranks the National's Seven Stormy Rock Records

 

they've become a caricature of themselves

 

tellingly the review doesn't mention "so far so fast" at all

 

There's a little bit of hell in everyone.

 

underwater you're almost free

 

I posted that in here but haven't listened yet, four more hoursssss

 

Damn was just about to post this!

I think I agree with his ranking which is rare

 

boxer is too low in his ranking imo (though typically musicians hate the records that were hard to make, i get it). still a great list

 

TWFM is my fave and then everything else from Alligator forward kinda shuffles around right under it

 

Watched the film today. Simply beautiful.

 

The cherry tree variant is disappointing, damn

 

I'll take a new mid-tempo National number directed at a character with a moderately memorable name every day for the rest of my life plz

 

Divorced Friend Excited to See The National

 

lmao

 

this is a personal attack

 

Honestly, you were the first person I thought of when I saw it.

 

I laughed at this whole thing, but I think the very last line about Iris getting very passive-aggressive was my favorite.

 

The Hard Times is nothing but consistently solid

 

I am constantly baffled by people thinking Alligator is this band's best record. Usually, I can see the argument for why people pick something as a band's best, even if I don't agree. But man, that album is such a distant fifth for me. Sixth after this new one.

 

I straight up hate the production on that record and it often kept from enjoying it like their other records.

 

That's one of the things I don't like about it. I also just don't think the songs are as good, with some (very) notable exceptions.
