Alligator is even more of a grower than Boxer but it is a perfect album.

yah I was definitely surprised when I heard it because lots of people (you included) spoke so highly of it but I didn't like it nearly as much as this or Boxer. it's really really good though, I just probably need to let it grow a bit more. I've recently decided that The National are in my top three bands of all time, and I haven't even heard their first two albums.



14.5/15 is a pretty good score for three albums though.

what's the consensus on their first two? I know people think they're worse but do you guys have anything specific to say about that?

First is their weakest imo (still great), but the second is really good.

They're both pretty good, but they're not albums you'll come back to again and again like the most recent three.

^what does that have to do with anything?



The National is a pretty lackluster album but Sad Songs has some really great songs and some that fall flat.



Cardinal song is absolutely gorgeous though

Boxer is the best National album for me but I think High Violet is better than Alligator.
