'System' is the best song on the album, partly due to that, but also the fact that the chorus suits Matt's vocals so much, definitely one of their best choruses

Album is such a massive step backwards from TWFM, but it’s still miles better than the shit they’re putting out now

I'm just glad we're still getting bangers like Rylan, Light Years, Tropic Morning News, Smoke Detector etc

Nah it's been a 3.9 for as long as I can recall



Might've been a 4 the year of its release but avg's generally drop after the initial hype wave

I still really love Alligator and Boxer, but I prefer this and High Violet more nowadays. TWFM is amazing too of course. What a band man.

I don’t jam The National often these days, but whenever I feel like it, this is the album I return to. It may not be their best, but has a very interesting vibe overall.

Agreed. This and HV are their peak IMO, and the ones I return to most.
