phoenixinflight Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Yeah I agree it's sorta pointless to say straight up that a record is their best. I've only recently got into these dudes through Trouble Will Find Me. I've checked out High Violet, which I think is insanely good, and Boxer, which I'm warming to. Looking forward to checking out Alligator as I've only heard good things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinb Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Alligator is certainly my favorite. I especially the last half of the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toomanyrecords Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Argh! I saw the national 3x last year and daughters is in my top 3 songs from them. They didn't play it at any of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Exquisite Death of NK Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Matt Berninger on You Made It Weird https://www.nerdist.com/2014/01/you-made-it-weird-189-matt-berninger/ Listened to half of this on the treadmill yesterday. Gonna finish it up today. Loved the part where Matt quoted his brother: "Listening to The National makes me think about my life. I don't want to think about my life."

fugazi Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 New song Sunshine On My Back: http://pitchfork.com/news/59095-the-national-release-sunshine-on-my-back/ Artworks looks kinda like the Trouble Will Find Me artwork so maybe a b-side. REALLY digging it. Has this band ever done something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksuwdboots Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 New song Sunshine On My Back: http://pitchfork.com/news/59095-the-national-release-sunshine-on-my-back/ Artworks looks kinda like the Trouble Will Find Me artwork so maybe a b-side. REALLY digging it. Has this band ever done something wrong? Correct. From an e-mail from the band's mailing list I just received: "The song was recorded during the Trouble Will Find Me Sessions and Sharon van Etten provides guest vocals."

Derek™ Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 It's about time. They posted that teaser and changed their profile photo about 55 minutes ago; that is, at midnight (EST). Coincidentally the teaser references both sleep and dreams... how likely is it that we wake up to a single and pre-orders tomorrow?

Derek™ Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Friendly reminder that the most deluxe version of their last album was like $40 for a die-cut boxset with prints. I feel like I've raved about the quality and pricing on that thing in multiple posts, but it was a genuine steal. zerohacker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Also, there's no way there isn't going to be a VMP-exclusive variant of this one. Calling it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know who'd handle the press of the new album (their website? 4AD?), nor what kind of options are available, but you're probably right in suspecting that a fancy boxset for $40 is out of the question. I guess you never know. Hopefully we find out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
