Mr. November is structured like a repetitive radio pop song. I still love it regardless, but it only really works because its a closer. That said, its the perfect closer.

quality points



anyway i dont see how it only works as a closer, its probably their best standalone song outside the context of an album along with Availablle, those two are my go-to jams

You think you're like Tennessee Williams, you wait for the click but it doesn't kick in?

Lol

Seriously though, so many love it but it might be my least favorite song on their big four.

The lyrics on "City Middle" are some of my favorites from Matt, and I adore the way the song gradually builds emotion without really building any volume at all. Super subtle, perfectly executed.



My least favorite song on their big four would have to be either "Looking for Astronauts" or "Squalor Victoria." They both have some quality Berninger lyrics (though nary a National song doesn't) and the drumming in the latter is very strong, but otherwise both tunes kinda just glide in one ear and out the other for me.
