Second single is amazing btw.

Album Rating: 4.0

it's really great yeah



although the lack of drumming is always a bit disappointing on a national track

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

Absolutely! It's a nice change of pace from the first single, tho. A little bit more like it came out of TWFM.

I’m sure there’ll be plenty of drumming in the hour leading up to “Light Years”

New album will be a snooze fest

New album will be amaze

If anyone's eager to hear more of the new one, they played a big chunk of it (guests and all) in Paris tonight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li9jWxqDODE.



Apparently there's a better stream coming, but they delayed the radio livestream because of the Notre Dame fire.

This one took the longest to sink in, but it's another superb album. I don't know how they keep doing this. The past five albums are all 4.5s for me. Some of them might even go up to a 5.

Eventually they will all go up to a 5. They have for me ;-P

That is a possibility, haha. I find myself appreciating them more with each listen.

High Violet is my only National 5 but Alligator and Trouble Will Find Me are achingly close

Album Rating: 4.0

Yea, High Violet may be my favorite, as well... Actually listening to that now. Just might 5 it. So good.

Boxer is my favorite, HV is a close second.

Album Rating: 4.5

I underappreciated Boxer for a very long time despite "Racing like a Pro" having always been my favorite National song (except for when I first got into Sad Songs, which resulted in "Lucky You" ruling the roost for a couple months - still top 5 Natty for me)

“Racing Like a Pro” is my least favorite on Boxer :-/

Album Rating: 4.4 | Sound Off

Yea same, but that doesn't mean much for one of the best albums ever made.

Album Rating: 4.5

It's the first National song I can recall hearing, barring maybe some sort of snippet from HV in passing. It came up when I shuffled my iPod one day in June 2012 and I was floored - it was then that I knew I had to hear more. The rest of Boxer disappointed me at the time but eventually I came around to it.

A first introduction to a band can definitely have a big impact like that. The first National tune I remember really falling for strangely enough was "Anyone's Ghost", still adore it of course but it wouldn't make a top 20 Natty for me these days.
