I think Trouble Will Find Me is considerably weaker than the 3 albums that precede it.

any of you national fans ever get into the constantines? maybe it's because i discovered them around the same time, but i've always thought of constantines as a less fussy, more "live" sounding national with a way better singer. tournament of hearts and kensington heights are A+. they do a nice cover of fuckin up, too.

It had to grow on me too (as did most National albums), but I soon loved it entirely. Humiliation might be my favorite National song. Demons, Don't Swallow the Cap, I Need My Girl, Graceless, Pink Rabbits, I Should Live In Salt, Heavenfaced, Slipped... They're all awesome songs. Really, the whole album is wonderful.

Interesting, I like the whole thing and it has grown on me, but none of the songs come close to their best output from the previous 3 for me.

I've been listening to Sad Songs. This album feels criminally underrated. I love so many songs here, but these five are really wonderful. I may have to think about re-ranking these albums.

Sunshine on my Back has been really getting to me lately. The quick violin in the chorus, and the gutpunch of a bridge...

Quote:
She says "After today then there's nothing you owe me"
And I'm so glad that you came, I needed someone who loves me
But just don't try to talk yourself into this love
And sleep like a baby while I'm staying up
It's as much what you say, as it is what you don't
You can't try to stay you either will or you won't


I think the term 'grower' gets used very liberally with this band; they have a lot of immediate stuff, IMO. But this song took a long time for me.

They need to release a new album. Going on 4(!) years already. Too long.

Every time this thread gets bumped I'm expecting to see an album announcement.
