So I've only just received a package from them now (over a month since shipped) expecting Sleep Well Beast and fuck me it is some other album. Ryuichi Sakamoto. Never again! Stick to books you useless wankers! Been holding off buying it in my local due to expecting this. Whats the best way to contact them? Every time i have emailed them through their website i get a not delivered email. Live chat?? I called them directly because they cancelled my order as well. I complained politely and they gave me a 20% off coupon code that I'll probably never use. Maybe I will. Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, any Ryuichi Sakamoto is probably better than this new National album anyway--take it and run The Saint, copelandkid and Chrundle The Great 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 This album is fantastic. async is fantastic. Both will make my end of the year list Everyone should own both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multiverse Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 There are some standout tracks on the album but overall, it feels a bit flat and uninspired to me. Which is fine, I'm sure there is someone on here that's going to tell me why I'm so wrong about the notion that this album felt dull and phoned in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I wanted to like it more, I've let it sit--revisted it several times. I'm still not done with it and I'm not making some weird final judgement call. But as of right now, I'm pretty indifferent about it. On the bright side, I had no idea there was a new Ryuichi Sakamoto release so I'm going to go check that out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Mega bump. Too early to create its own thread, but Consequence of Sound confirmed that the new National album – LP8 – is not only recorded, but was mastered at the beginning of the month. 2019 continues to stack. zerohacker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Not mastered. just mixed. It maybe be mastered by now or at the end of next month, but CoS has the headline wrong. Its was mixed as of 2/1 Derek™ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Because it hasn't been topped in a over a year and a half, I think SWB is my third favorite National album behind Alligator (for certain) and maybe Boxer or High Violet.

Oblivions Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Boxer and Alligator have the advantage of being their breakthrough albums that established their trademark sounds (and, although I am not a huge High Violet fan, it’s A TON of National fans’ first and most nostalgic album of theirs) but, IMO, Sleep Well Beast in all its under-stated glory is their best written and best recorded album. I am so incredibly excited to hear the new record. pepperonigin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblivions Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 There was an article that mentioned this could be some kind of collaboration and/or a departure record. I really really hope this feels and sounds like a proper new album and isn't a Virginia style EP with instrumental pieces from an art exhibit mixed in. Light Years and Rylan don't strike me as a departure for the band, so I'm hoping that was a detail meant for another project or that the art collaboration stuff is overstated and won't influence the album too much. Whatever. New National is always welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
