'Lemonworld' is amazing agreed, spun it today.



Only problem I have with 'High Violet' is 'Little Faith' and 'Afraid' are too damn mopey back to back - even for The National.



'Sorrow', 'Lemonworld' and 'Vanderlyle' can all make claims for top 5 National song billing

The dopeyness of High Violet is what makes it the best National album!

I never really rated Wasp Nest that much, but they played it at the Opera House last Wednesday and it was easily one of the best tracks of the night (though the extended About Today probably took the cake). The night after us got Lemonworld and Vanderlyle instead though

"All Dolled-Up In Straps" for most underrated National song.

The melody too is just so beautiful yet also dark-tinged.

This is excellent. Strange that it doesn’t get mentioned or ranked often here. I guess because it’s an EP.



About Today is my favorite track here.

Yeah this is really good, might raise to a 4.5. Too bad they felt they had to include Reasonable Man, might be their worst song. I prefer to ignore the last two songs here, they feel more like an afterthought.

Yeah, have been leaving them out after the first couple of spins. Already very close to bumping to a 4
