Sixth place is Moon & Antarctica - perhaps the decade we have most taste overlap I’m thinking

Album Rating: 5.0

Brother, Sister > Blackwater Park > Jane Doe > The Meadowlands > Devil and God. Wish I had a place for this but it isn't quite top 5 decade best. Top 10 I'd say.

Album Rating: 5.0

The 00s was a pretty amazing decade for music, lots of other top favs of mine were released then like Moon & Antarctica, ( ), Shadows of the Sun, Lift Your Skinny Fists, Bath, Kid A, The Mantle, Choirs of the Eye...

the national are the best boring band and this is their best boring album. i rate it 4.5 out of respect even though i haven't heard it since (*checks lastfm*) 2012

respect

forgot the meadowlands, that's the best indie rock of the decade

Album Rating: 5.0

Meadowlands is up there for me now too. Moon and Antarctica as well. 00s are prob my favorite decade.

70s and 90s are close, but yea 00s might be my favorite too.

Album Rating: 5.0

I don’t really know much 70s tbh. My musical knowledge kinda stops pre-90s lol. But I tend to feel the 00s were when the things I like most in music were most prominent.

Album Rating: 5.0

70s is where it's at, insane amount of creativity and unique ideas from bands across England and Germany especially

Album Rating: 4.0

90s are my fav but 00s next. Lateralus is my number one. Not sure about the others, I’d have to carefully comb through my ratings.



The back half of this does seem to be growing, especially Slow Show. I think you guys just hyped that song up so much I was expecting to have my mind blown or something lol.



As a whole album, this album is pretty restrained, subdued and quiet. I think that’s why it doesn’t reveal itself immediately. Definitely a big grower.

Album Rating: 5.0

The National will do you like that. They’re slow burners not instant stunners. I can think of very few songs of theirs that didn’t take at least 10 listens to fully hit, and some have taken upward of probably 50 over the course of years.

Think Bloodbuzz and maybe Geese were the only National songs that blew me away first time

Album Rating: 4.0

Slow burners tend to be the best albums when the dust settles. Same with movies.

Album Rating: 4.0

Secret Meeting, Mr November, Available and Slipping Husband all hit me immediately. Geese and Lucky You only took two or three listens. Looking for Astronauts took literally seven or eight listens, but now it’s one of my favorite National songs. The rest have definitely had to slowly grow on me through multiple listens and various moods.



Now keep in mind Boxer is the furthest I’ve gone. I have never heard these guys in my life (heard of them though) and I’m going through their entire discog chronologically. And I’m definitely taking my time with each album before moving on. Giving it time to grow and manifest.

Here’s the thing - you might think those songs have hit you already, but they haven’t actually yet. :D That’s how next level this band is! (I’m teasing a bit but this genuinely was the case for me - they may never get there for you but for me they’re that band that I only love more and more every time I listen to them, and songs that I loved really did take on a whole new level of meaning to me after literal years.)

‘00s are the weakest from the ‘70s on to the point I actually got less into music around 2006 to 2008



Think the ‘10s have been stronger overall
