Like pretty much every single thing the national does?

Very good summary of the gig on the 28th, I enjoyed it but not in my top 5 live shows.

Some of the new stuff fell very flat, but System was a real highlight.

I also felt a tinge of disappointment over the Monday set list, can't believe I missed seeing Geese live

Yeah, AngryJ, considering the Alexandra Palace Show was my favourite of all time there is a tinge if disappointment - plus that Monday set looked immense



Apparently they had major sound issues that night though

walk it back is finally growing on me, really, really good tune if you're in the right mood

Yeah I can believe that, drums and vox sounded a bit off to me

I've concluded that the title track is actually the best thing on here.

It’s 5/5 and in the top 4 for me...but the order of my top 4 (T/T, Walk it Back, System and Guilty Party) keeps shifting.

Heard that song about looking like kids in the rain the other day on the radio and enjoyed it. Maybe I need to give it another listen

Concert was incredible, huge energy the whole show. At first thought highlights were afraid of everyone, terrible love, guilty party, apartment story, fake empire, mr November, and this is the last time

It was an amazing show Talons! It was super awkward when Matt fucked up Turtleneck but he covered it well. Only thing missing was Slow Show. Otherwise it was perfect.

Also, Empire Line and Carin were totally stunning.

Stopping Turtleneck and his explanation about chutes and ladders was hilarious

"Do you guys like chutes and ladders?"

**Most of the crowd indicates something along the lines of "Yes"**

"Well I fucking hate it!"

Doof's concert was similar to mine but they didn't play Destroy You (which would've been amazing) or the t/t (probably best as the album version) when I saw them.

Pretty annoyed that I'm just getting into this band as of now.

I got into them 5 or 6 years ago, by the urging of my friend. Took months for them to click, and I get the sense that it went that way for many of their fans.
