    what a waste of wood

    I still listen to this constantly honestly. Tied with High Violet for my 2nd favorite after TWFM.

    I've gained a new appreciation for Alligator recently. The Geese of Beverly Road found its way into my top 10 favorite songs by them. Mr. November too of course

    Any of the last six could be my favorite on a different day. This is one the best late night albums i know of. It goes from in the pack to my favorite depending on the time of day lol

    If I had to pick one without naming any other contenders, I'll probably go with England.

    Alligator sounds great and I will not stand for any discourse about it

    Yah Alligator’s production is part of its charm, don’t want it to sound like Boxer

    Definitely in my top 5. One of their best hooks for sure.

    So excited to see them live. I saw them at the first Eaux Claires but I was just a very casual fan at that point.

    I can't tell you how many times I had to look at that post and thought to myself "What the fuck is PSN? That's not a National album."

    Anyway, About Today is my favorite song

    City Middle is another really great choice and was my favorite for a long time when I used to be super into Alligator.

    It's impossible to choose.

    Some of the correct answers include Day I Die, Wasp Nest and Ada.

    hey you lil piss baby

    Sad Songs - Cardinal Song
    Alligator - Secret Meeting
    Boxer - Fake Empire (but Squalor Victoria live)
    High Violet - Terrible Love
    Trouble Will Find Me - I Should Live in Salt
    Sleep Well Beast - Guilty Party

    Band writes a hell of an opener, I guess.
