actually I don't mind the first part and really don't like the last half of it, although not nearly as much as I used to lol

Yeah he talked about how they'd been working on new music and i got so excited and then he said that shit

the dude can write lyrics and melodies, but from the interviews i've seen, it seems like he kinda just bumbles around for the rest of the process haha i mean i'm sure they have a routine worked out by now, but it was always kind of a thing that Matt didn't really... do music haha

the ending of This is the Last Time is by far my favorite moment in a National song, it's breathtaking

it's one of the few moments where they have that much stuff overlapping i feel, it's really striking

yeah it's their darkest for sure. High Violet is sad too but it also has a lot of hope. it ends on a note of hope. this one ends with "if i tried, you'd probably be hard to find" haha. and i know, right? i had to laugh at it

HV has a lot of destructive imagery but i don't think it's as sad as this or Boxer for that matter

didn't know Sharon was on this either actually, that's cool. I knew she was on Think You Can Wait but that song is a major bore

yes you should Tyler.



i guess all their albums are kinda sad, which for me just makes it even more meaningful when they get that hope in there
