I'll add myself to the Astronauts & Mr. November are the amongst the worst cuts crew

Also that Friend of Mine might take the cake

pretty much everything else is golden, well at least 'rather good' anyway

I agree with whomever (i think it was roberstona but too lazy to go back and look) said the verses of 'Mr. November' are fire but the chorus is kinda wank (paraphrasing).

That's also a reasonable enough verdict, the chorus is certainly the most unsatisfactory part of that song.

Could never really get into this one, High Violet has always been my fave National.

This band went right up its arse and became the only band in existence where it feels like you’re being spoken down to.

Even U2 don’t quite manage that one, they’re just cunts.

album has no superfluous tracks, hard to really rate anything worst as there's nothing one would cut here

Zak, did you watch the Woodstock '99 documentary? Most yank event ever, total chaos, sort of the 'end of a generation'



I remember some of the reporting at the time but never really added all of it together



I never realised the site was actually a military airbase, classic

Take all your reasons and take them away, to the middle of nowhere and on your way home, throw from your window your record collection.

Literally nothing about this album is good. Instrumentation is the best part, but the vocalist is right up there with cake for being one of the most uninteresting and boring vocalists I've ever heard.
