I almost forgot IAETF came out, probably for the best at this point. Maybe I repressed it from my memory after wasting a load of time on it.

SWB is a low key powerhouse

Album Rating: 4.0

6 plays for me and i still think it's their most tedious album. lack of melodies and the ones that are there are w/e. there are maybe 3 songs i return to.

Album Rating: 5.0

I Need My Girl is probably the most generic and weak Natty song on that album

Album Rating: 5.0

It was definitely the one that took me the longest to appreciate, but now I'd say all of the following are essential National gems: Day I Die, The System Only Dreams In Total Darkness, I’ll Still Destroy You, Guilty Party, Carin At The Liquor Store, Dark Side Of The Gym, and Sleep Well Beast.



I think the album's worst quality is that the first half is so lacking compared to the second. The entire back half of SWB is gold, first half requires a bit of patience.

Album Rating: 5.0

Sowing speaks the truth.

SWB is underrated, easily their best outside of the big 3.

I Need My Girl is simple but it works. That cylindrical guitar melody is wonderful.

Listening to this for the first time in a few months. Goddamn, the two opening tracks are god tier.

Album Rating: 5.0

Everything here is god tier. Their best album for sure

Album Rating: 4.0

It’s a great fucking album, but there are a few meh tracks for me (Anyone’s Ghost, Little Faith, Vanderlyle).

Album Rating: 5.0

Little Faith is actually their best track alongside Afraid of Everyone. Vanderlyle is also their best closer.

Album Rating: 4.5

Agree that 'Little Faith' is the weakest track on here, and 'Anyone's Ghost' would be among the next-weakest tier (though still very good, obviously). However 'Vanderlyle' is a classic.

I've always thought 'Afraid of Everyone' was super underrated, too.
