i liked twfm enough when it came out but it doesn't have nearly enough staying power

No way is this better. There are a few tracks that are just ok and one that is absolutely cringeworthy (Sugar Wife). There is some gold on here though.

Had a phase where this was my favourite National. It's pretty inconsistent, though it does have some of their best songs. Available especially is incredible.

This album has three major highlights in Cardinal Song, Availiable, and Lucky You, but nothing else here ever makes me want to go back to it.

Fall asleep with strangers' wives

The wild wives of unknown men

Good for you, youve just become

Just another one of them

Probably won't happen, but it just might be their Kid A given what I've heard about how they've been experimenting with electronics.
