good review.
I only have Boxer by this band, and I completely agree with your comment that sitting through it can get boring, though there are great songs on it.
I plan to get some more stuff of this band, this could be among it.

You should proofread your reviews to make sure all the sentences make sense (noun+predicate, etc etc.). Nothing's blatantly misspelled, just sometimes the sentences are jumbled and could be smoothed out for a much easier read. You focus entirely on the lyrics, which I respect since the National has some great lyrics and I personally have the hardest time listening to and analyzing lyrics. But mentioning how the rest of the band sounds would be nice.
I'm going to see these guys on Thursday, I am very excited.

My other review is horrible in that sense but I gotta learn. And the show was good. Fortunately I saw them perform with a violin, cello, flute, bass clarinet, bassoon, trombone, two trumpets and a piano. Sufjan also came on for a song. Good solid performance. I'm also in high school so I'm no writing wiz.

The show was amazing, no flute bassoon, second trumpet or Sufjan though... They played my favorite two songs right in the beginning so the rest of the show was anit-climactic, but still very good. I think high school is where you start becoming a "writing wiz."

This is worth it just for "Cherry Tree" and "All Dolled Up In Straps" alone. Two of my favorite National tunes

This is pretty great... doesn't really hold up to their last three full lengths, but, it is The National so it rules

I hate to be blatant but how could you write this review without at least mentioning "About Today"? It doesn't have to be your favorite song on the album, it could even be your least favorite, but the song is a favorite of The National's fans, and at least should be mentioned.
Though Good review

This just might be my favorite National. Every song makes me emotional...which sucks because the whole thing is depressing. But it still takes a special album to have that kind of sway over my mood.

About Today is their most depressing song. I just can't.

EP rules, this review sucks

"About Today" and "Start A War" were so ridiculously perfect in Warrior.
