Derek™ Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Quick little update and friendly PSA for anyone curious. The only available rips that are floating around at the time of this post are from the vinyl. They require you to bump up your volume a good amount. One of them is wildly more popular and available than the other – the smaller of the two. It's at about 129 MB, and was recorded from vinyl at the wrong pitch. [It's about 2-3 BPM faster than the actual tracks, I've been told.] There is a larger version – 160 MB – that is at the correct pitch. There's audible popping on the D-side during the more quiet moments, but it's very listenable if you absolutely need to get it out of your system. Hope that helps anyone else itching to hear this album. zerohacker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynabcn Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Got one of these signed exclusives (saw it on reddit). Can't wait! I have just posted the interview i did with the band in Denmark. It's in spanish but if anyone wants to check out: -> http://www.binaural.es/entrevista/entrevista-the-national-las-canciones-sleep-well-beast-suenan-mucho-mas-ambiciosas-las-anteriores-obras/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Barnes and Noble are notorious for allowing orders they can't fulfil to be placed. You can probably relax those fingers. Unless you want to keep them crossed that the album makes it over to you without getting trashed by the journey.

timsimmons Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I have the 160. Its a great rip for what it is. Love the album. Another winner. This band is just killing it. Vector53 and Derek™ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I think it's their best album in terms of cohesion and emotional liveliness. Their sterile moodiness (which I love and think they do very well) is replaced with a looseness that they haven't had since Alligator; that looseness is used very differently—Matt's direct lyrics, his wider range of vocal melodies, and the band's use of electronic layers instead of plain rocking out with guitars—but it definitely reminds me of the freedom of those earlier days. And 'Dark Side of the Gym' is just the most delightful and sweet song. Anyone else and it'd be a pedestrian and cheesy sentiment/tone but from the National it's a big sign of how confident and loose they've grown after all these years of playing the guarded intellectual posturing as depressed at the nice downtown whiskey bar.

cbjornson Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Hoping it's black vinyl. My blue version preorder delivered this morning from their store, so I don't need another colored copy. Either way, an absolute steal at $28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostTrail Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Can anyone point me in the direction of the vinyl rip that doesn't have the incorrect pitch? Seems to be the only one I can track down, and it's definitely noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
