Album Rating: 4.0

They were so freaking good live. Need a Friend and I'm the Man to Be were especially incredible.

Paul is Alive has settled as my favourite

This grew off me, but is still good. Paul is Alive is my favorite here.

Paul is Alive is kinda boring

Album Rating: 3.5

The whole album is kinda boring, but I just love the beat and swaying rhythm on that track. Return to the Moon and Silent Ivy Hotel are both pretty great.

Album Rating: 3.0

Return to the Moon, I'm The Man To Be, No Time to Crank the Sun are all spectacular imo

idk why but i have a feeling that i wouldn't dig this too much

Album Rating: 3.5

Imagine The National if they tried to be poppier. Slightly more fun than the usual National, but lacking that sense of deeper purpose.

as i imagined

Album Rating: 3.5

Yeah, you'd 2.5 it because you're always slightly more negative (realistic) than me.

Album Rating: 3.0

Nothing is spectacular here, Crank is my second favourite but I liked the stripped down live performance better than the studio version.



The opening to Paul is Alive is the only time in the album I really anticipate the rest of a song

Album Rating: 3.0

Yeah this wore off really fast, but I still like most of the tracks.

My mom got this CD for me for my 21st birthday a few days ago knowing how big of a The National nut I am, excited to jam.

lots of great stuff on here. love that the instrumentation is pretty stripped down. really adds to the charm this has.
