First National I heard, blew me right the fuck away

All the Wine and About Today are the best songs ever

All the songs unique to this release are top tier National, not counting the closer because for all intents and purposes it's not even a National song. Though that song is quite beautiful in and of itself.

Still I don't understand why they didn't just cap it at "About Today" because that feels like a perfect closer, chances are when I listen to this in the future I'll just jam the first 5 songs because they feel much more like a cohesive unit.

Yea I think of the last two tracks as bonus tracks, first 5 are the actual body of the EP

Is it acceptable to rate it for just the first 5 then? Because if so this is probably a 4.5

Starting to think I might enjoy this more than Alligator on the whole; remove Murder Me Rachael and it'd be a slam dunk.

this EP has a lot of nice small touches though.. the piano on cherry tree, and all of dolled-up is a little off-kilter in a great way.. About Today is schmaltzy as all shit though.. one of their worse songs..

Alligator is a mid-range 4.5 for me, this is a low 4.5 and overall it's just a really great short dose of National greatness. Even the last song, though it's not even really a National song, is pretty great imo. But tracks 1-5 are all pretty perfect tbh.
