this and boxer are their best in large part due to bryan devendorf getting the spotlight often

I’d say this and Trouble Will Find Me are their best.

in a weird turn of events, city middle might be my favourite national song after about a week of listening.

still second to the once-in-a-generation Time Isn't On My Side mind you

From a songwriting perspective Karen is for sure one of their weirdest. Modulating from G to C minor to B flat is bonkers

Yeah one of the weirder ones musically, along with I Should Live In Salt

Salt threw me so much at first and was one of the reasons it took me so long to get into TWFM but once it hit it HIT.

Salt is a ballsy opening track on an album with songs like Demons, Cap, and Graceless

i want to say lit up might make a better opener for this but secret meeting exists and is great in that spot so

@YoYo, it was SO weird hearing Matt sing in that higher register when TWFM first dropped. Not to mention the 17/8 or whatever the fuck time signature.

At first I thought the time signature was just the Dessner brothers flexing their musical education but now I think it actually works somehow

Yeah I love it now. I guess it’s probably actually an alternating 9-8 or 4-5-4-4 or something like that

TWFM took like 5 years to grow on me, think that's why it's my favorite of theirs

Every song on this album is just stunning
