Oblivions Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Based off these two tracks and the clip of studio Rylan, this one is shaping up to be another Trouble Will Find Me style collection of straightforward decent/dope songs. I’m also kind of stoked at the destinct lack of High Violet EPICNESS for a third album in a row. If this band retires with England and Vanderlyle being their most pandering big arena tracks, I will start calling up local trophy shops and getting quotes for a “best/most consistent rock band of my generation” plaque.

JRHews Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Ordered the clear indie for now; absolutely loved HV and Trouble, but not much since then, nor have I gone back too often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woeful_Town_FC Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Just back from the Paris show tonight. Stunning. As well as justifying the £50 Cherry Tree outlay last year (I used the CT early pre-order link to get tickets and, despite the lottery, ended up dead-centre in the third row), the new material is excellent. They screened the movie, did a short Q&A, and then played the album through in full (I think). I’m really excited to hear the album now. Anyone who’s heading out to the later shows, enjoy. fondfarewell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomanyrecords Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Did they not play any other songs? I was hoping for some deep cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewberinger Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Not in Kansas is my favorite song on the new album and this is my favorite national album since Boxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewberinger Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) But that set list before the encore is the entire new album - not in Kansas is track 11 so it’s weird that’s the only one out of sequence (the only two songs from the new album they didn’t play are short instrumentals) Edited April 17, 2019 by drewberinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I'd buy that new classical record. Its really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuhanclan Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 was at the Beacon theater show last night. not in kansas sounds great indeed. my takeaway from the new album is, like the band said, lots of female singing & strings. not sure if the songs were arranged the same way as the actual album, but i can't wait til it drops. does anyone know anything about the after-show party last night? what's the about and how did one get a pass for that? is that a cherry tree thing?

timsimmons Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 While there are alot of guest vocals on the record, I've read these shows are not an exact demonstration of how the record sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has less to do with a club subscription and more to do with being cool enough for an after-party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fondfarewell Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Great show last night and just randomly ran into the band in the lobby of my midtown office building (also home to Sirius, which is what I suspect they were there for). Always nice when the universe smiles on you like that! Seeing the film also made me glad I bought the deluxe with the score. Will be nice to have those different arrangements.

Paddy Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 agree totally with above, the film score arrangements are excellent, and i preferred them to the live arrangements. i think i'll be picking up the 3x LP after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 5 hours ago, duckydan said: you guys are getting me excited for the toronto show tomorrow night!! it's different. it's not a typical "The National" show. It's a sit-down much more reserved experience, until the encore. you'll also hear the difference between the film score and the live arrangements of the new album. the film pretty much has constant music throughout and i personally preferred these arrangements as they felt more dynamic. the songs are good, but it doesn't have the energy of the other times i've seen them. hopefully you get guest appearances! we had julien baker there for a couple of songs, as well as string trio, brass duo and choir. the show did convince me to splurge on the 3x LP deluxe version (i had already pre-ordered the club swirl variant).

Anyone have details? Some UK stores I think began selling it last week, supposedly super limited and in-store only. https://www.relevantrecordcafe.co.uk/product/the-national-you-had-your-soul-with-you/ Edit: looks like official release date is tomorrow so maybe more stores will have them this weekend.
