4. City Middle
5. Karen
6. Abel
7. Lit Up
8. Secret Meeting
9. Looking For Astronauts

All the Wine and Mr. November are all time classics for me. love Secret Meeting and Karen as well. this album has the best National songs, but i'm not sure it's my favorite album of theirs, if that makes sense.

Lit Up and Val last : ( top 2 are good tho and that's all that matter. Seriously All The Wine and Geese are untouchable in the National discog and pretty much all of music imo, the only National song that comes close to either is Gospel and it doesn't come very close

@Brick yeah Val Jester seriously took about 2 years to occupy that spot after starting in 12th place. Just proves that The National are the red wine of the music industry, they only get better over time

Pink Rabbits runs them close, but agreed they're pretty much the peak
Lit Up is the only real choice for last place on here. It's still a 5/5 but it doesn't make me emotional at all which is why the entire rest of the album beats it

verse 2 and the ending of Lit Up hits so many emotional spots for me cuz I've been in so many bad friendships like the ones he's describing

I guess I can't really relate to it then. I always thought of Lit Up as more the song where Berninger gets to take some shots at both musicians and the people who listen to their music (the "bedroom kids" line is gold) so it always struck me more as a humour song than a feelings song

Album Rating: 5.0
it is a humour song, but with feelings. the very first lines are my favorite
|

Album Rating: 5.0
yeah it's really humorous but actually contains a lot of fascinating stuff about feeling alienated from both their fanbase, the music industry, and people in his personal life. Being "tied to bad blood", as it were

For sure. Even the least conceptually heavy National songs have a bunch of worthwhile things to say
