The National - I Am Easy To Find (May 17, 2019) Album • Page 61

Matt Berninger solo album is getting closer

 

Can’t wait

 

This would be hands down the best National record:

You Had Your Soul With You
Quiet Light
Oblivians
The Pull of You
I Am Easy to Find
Where is Her Head
Not in Kansas
So Far, So Fast
Rylan
Light Years

 

Hm, going to give this a whirl. Might prefer Hey Rosey in there to Not in Kansas, though.

 

I think it might be the best National record the way it is tbh

 

It’s got too many songs i skip as is, like 5 or 6.

 

I cannot cosign a tracklist that excludes "Hairpin Turns", y'all wild

 

Hairpin Turns is fantastic. Not in Kansas is not.

 

I do like Hairpin Turns quite a bit.

 

Not In Kansas is fucking awesome. I want the longer version with like 27 more verses haha. That's the only song though where I kinda wish it was just Matt singing and not the other people.

Also:

1. You Had Your Soul With You
2. Quiet Light
3. Roman Holiday
4. Rylan
5. The Pull of You
6. Hey Rosey
7. I Am Easy To Find
8. Where Is Her Head
9. Not In Kansas
10. Hairpin Turns
11. Oblivions
12. So Far So Fast

 

Oblivions is top 3 on this

 

The other voices in Not In Kansas are the best part smh

 

Any reshuffle that doesn’t include Light Years is invalid, sorry, I don’t make the rules

 

okay yeah this is legit

 

I really love Not in Kansas but the alt-right opium part almost wrecks the whole song for me. It’s a shade too corny for me.

 

How many times has this thread done a revised tracklist of this album?

 

It’s true

 

It’s one of their weaker records. Mainly because their discography is so great. But this record isn’t better than Boxer, Alligator, High Violet, Sleep Well Beast or Trouble Will Find Me. It’s just not, and that’s ok. It’s got some great songs and it could have used some trimming. I agree with that tracklist posted earlier in the thread. Cut 3-4 songs and this thing is much leaner and more focused. I’d cut “So Far So Fast” and put in “Hairpin Turns”. 10 tracks, I think the instrumentals in this case are unnecessary bloat.

1. You Had Your Soul With You
2. Quiet Light
3. Oblivion’s
4. The Pull of You
5. I Am Easy to Find
6. Not in Kansas
7. Where is Her Head
8. Hairpin Turns
9. Rylan
10. Light Years

 

probably my least favorite since the first two

 

This is their second or third best record and those who think otherwise are jamokes clinging onto their memories of their younger selves

i'm joking but i'm not

 

This record is maximal-ist National, they turned everything up to 11 and then some, but that's why I love it.

 

I think this is an absolutely incredible album, but I don't think it is their best. It absolutely keeps their streak of masterpieces going though.

What are the chances we hear some of the more "rocking out" songs that didn't make the cut at some point.....???

 

I love it but skip songs when I listen to it.

 

I don’t think I agree at all lol, altho I still love it
