zak, I like how they've slowly won you over a bit more with each subsequent release

Bowled me over with the new one.

A Hero’s Death was the one that made me take notice and realise they definitely offered something different.

Agreed, that one was a big step up - the debut was basically just a starting showcase for what Chatten could offer as a vocalist and lyricist.



Still a quality debut looking back.

Going back to the previous one now and the power hits you straight away, what a thick sound...



The new one might be the album to help me put the previous one back up to a 5....and I don't mean that as an insult to it. I was always wondering where the band might peak in appeal for me.



EDIT: yeah, the previous one definitely a 5, meaty

Can’t shake the feeling ‘In the Modern World’ is the best The National song since at least SWB

That's not a bad shout (even if I love a good chunk of IAETF)

Bloomsday used to irk me but I've really come around to it. It's got a certain 7pm while raining out vibe to it that's kind of beautiful

will be a 2020s classic in the same way that AM is a 2010s classic - very "i was there" album that long since fell out of rotation
