I'm quite partial to Karen too. Really you can't go wrong haha. They're such a good band.

Weird opinion: I think 'Baby, We'll Be Fine' is one of the best tracks here.
But yeah most of them are great; other favorites are Secret Meeting, Daughters of the Soho Riots, All the Wine, and The Geese of Beverly Road.

Geese, Daughters, Lit Up, Karen and All the Wine are A-grade National, the rest are ok
but those 5 songs alone = must hear

hard to find is a weird one in that i always enjoy it a lot but never take any long-term impression away. i guess it's maybe third best?

as opposed to making songs for grown ass men having a mid-life crisis because they just realised they peaked in high school

"I don’t like the attitude of those. I don’t like the person I was who wrote it. I don’t like what I was saying about life in that one. I was a dick and “Available” is a mean song and when I sing it I feel mean and it was real.”



^ v interesting quote from matt berninger about available that i just found three seconds ago. i do not have strong opinions on it

I remember he dissed Cardinal Song in the same interview : (



My faves from this are Daughters of the Soho Riots and the last three songs.
