How good is this compared to their other albums? And the vibe i'm getting from this review is that this album is much more personal than their others?




I'd call it their best, although it could easily be seen as a separate entity since it's quite different. And it is a lot more personal, you're right. One of my only real gripes with the later albums is that they do make the mistake of slipping into clichés - although the way they play off that is quite interesting.

Thirsty is my favourite National song I think. This is soooo underrated.

It Never Happened, Sugar Wife, and Thirsty are my least favorite even though I still like them. Slipping Husband, Available, Fashion Coat, and Cardinal Songs are best imo

It's better with relistens, forced me to bump from a 3.5 to a 4 but it's definitely no higher than that. And the main reason I gave it a 4 is because Berninger screams in some songs lol

Yeah, I might bump this to a 3.5 on a good day, but it definitely has its weak moments

well, I would say there's a couple of top 20's here

But their disc is so strong it's almost impossible to create such a list
