It’s probably a low bar (for you), but I imagine you will indeed prefer Polvo. More energy.

Don’t force it. If you feel yourself drawn back in that’s great. If not that’s fine too! 4 is still a great rating obv. FWIW as I’ve said many times before, every National album took many months or years to fully grow on me.

No need to worry. Just patiently wait until this album slowly but inevitably becomes your favorite album of all time ; )

"Keep Me In The Open" is my pick for the best National song The National never wrote

Isn't it "come home in the car you love"? At least, that's what I've always heard.

because while it's a great album, it's a little bit homogenous compared to their best work and not quite as creative and interesting

This is best, not only their most emotional but balances it perfectly with amazing songwriting and artful, diverse instrumentation.

will preface by saying i love the national but their songs follow such a similar pattern of repeated verses / chorus / bridges on every track and it so it has a height it doesn't quite surpass

every song on this has at least one moment that’s borderline spiritual
