Your point? Like I said before, vocal-driven albums are embarassing. Especially for someone like The National, who released Alligator and Boxer, which had some of the coolest instrumental parts ever.

Decided to relisten to a random song from the album - Slipped. And guess what? I already feel like it's one of their least lushed-out/inspired/well-structured songs ever. Primitively written and sleep-inducing. Not in a good way. I guess now I remember why I disliked this album in the first place. Where's my Mistaken for Strangers or Abel at? Goddangit.



Gonna give a couple more songs one more go in a bit.

If someone comes in sh'tting on an album you love then it's tradition you check their 5's and if they look like they come from someone with 90% black metal pie or totally incompatible taste with what you're discussing you post them as evidence.



Fukkin Agalloch lol, talk about snoozy

You giving this a 1 is like me giving Brand New a 1 to be hilarious I dunno dude.



A 1 is a bit of a statement to expect a conversation or anything other than ridicule.

I was ridiculing this album, because it didn't meet my expectations. I am not expecting anyone in this thread to share my opinion. Like I fucking swear, there are fans of certain subgenres/genres who take ratings/opinions completely opposite to theirs way too personally.



Like you go into a, I dunno, electronic or black/death metal thread and everyone is cool about having different opinions. You go into an indie/indie folk/pop punk/prog thread and we start reaching Dead Sea levels of salt in minutes. Says a lot about the majority of the fanbase.



I sound like Potsy now. Minus the eloquent bit.

And say what you want about my fives, I could care less. It certainly won't change my opinion that this album is as boring as music gets and that it belongs in the bloody rubbish bin.

But most people on a thread for this album so long after release will read that comment as immeasurably retarded so maybe best keep your comment short and sweet and move along? I don't know what you're expecting unless you want that avatar to become synonymous with extreme and extremely annoying opinions?



You sound a bit like Potsy without the intelligence bit, sorry to report back on that.

If you're gong to electronic or black metal threads and 1'ing something with a 4+ rating and dishing out insights along the likes of 'wooh boy what a snore, is boring, how can anyone like this shitty album' I'm pretty sure you'll meet the same reaction lol

So, in your universe, "an immeasurably retarded comment" is synonymous with "a comment expressing a different opinion"? Hmm, strange, last time I checked those were two different things.

I'm saying the comment is worth one post - to expect anyone to want more than one post of such incredible thought out critique is delusional



You've given this a 1 and said it's boring - do you have more to offer? On the evidence so far, nope

You'll be surprised. Even if it comes to the all-time classics. Unlike some of you people, we don't possess the insecurity levels of a bloody ten-year-old girl who gets constantly bullied by her lady classmates.

I believe I said I'll relisten to more songs, didn't I? I'll report back as soon as I have. Jesus christ, calm your panties down.

You do you, as you were, whatever lol



I'm all for getting this invested in attacking an album if it's a fresh turd - but this has been out years, I'm not sure the thread which is now 99% made up of people who at least like the album quite a lot is waiting with baited breath to hear someone rate each individual song boring or slightly less boring

Anyhow, sorry, I didn't mean to annoy anyone here. I'll relisten to the songs and try to be more constructive. Perhaps after revisiting some of them, my rating will increase.

I wasn't trying to bait anyone. I was just listening to Alligator and it made me salty af, hence the comment on the thread.
