I prefer Boxer and Alligator, seeing as this is much more quiet and atmospheric (and I liked the more rocking side of the National) - but the songs I've heard has had a great balance between those three, so I'm guessing it'll be somewhere between this and Boxer

I don't know if anything will be able to touch boxer for me. But this is definitely a bit more on the

rocking side than High violet (Graceless, Demons, Sea of Love) although it has no song as raw as Abel

or Mr. November. (Or Available, Murder Me Rachel)

Well, it sounds promising! I couldn't see them returning to songs like the ones you mention, and that's fine (although Alligator is my fav). They need to look forward!

yeah returning to mr. november or the screaming on Available would be kind of weird

although it was awesome.

Demons, Don't Swallow the Cap and Sea of Love are the once I've heard, and they rule

I thought Demons was the second best song off this year ( i didn't check Don't swallow the Cap and Sea of Love beforehand). Now I think it's about the 9th best song on the album. So yeah...

Yeah it's like the biggest song on the world.

Oh wait no.

That's Thrift shop. Followed by scream and shout.



But yeah it's pretty big, night prowler is right.

Thrift Shop has (kinda) stopped playing now (in DK), although it's still around.


And Scream & Shout is that britney song, right?

I've barely heard anyone talk about Daft Punk here. One person, I think, and that was about one of their previous albums.





Gonna try to get into TWFM song by song, starting with I Need My Girl
