I'm 3 songs in - is the entire show new stuff? I'm not sure I want to spoil it.

They do 9 of the new songs, I think.

I'm pretty bowled over by these songs. The outro to Walk it Back is great.

By the way, I've only listened to the first track once (the day it came out) and I haven't listened any others. I don't know if I'm planning on waiting until the album comes out or not, I never made a conscious decision either way..,

Yeah, my will collapsed pretty quickly. That being said, I think bands are starting to get a handle on how to let the slow drip of an album work in their favor. It feels more like an album slowly coming out during the course of a few months as opposed to one thing, which I feel can have its own benefits.

I like this one quite a bit.

I wasn't too keen on it when I listened to it yesterday but I liked it a lot more today for some reason.

This happens to me ALL THE TIME with new National songs/albums. I almost always need a few listens, and then I fall in love.

Yeah that has been said to death with this band but I agree.
I fucking love System now as well, I've had it stuck in my head all day.

I believe this has the potential to be very good.

I've still just listed to two songs from this, each of them just once. Guilty Party immediately reminded me of Amnesiac.

They all are.

I still haven't listened to their debut.

In all honesty, that one isn't anything special. It's been so long since I listened to it though, that I barely remember any of it. Everything after that is perfect.

Guilty Party is fantastic. Bryan Devendorf is so freaking creative and probably what elevates this band from great to one of the all-timers.

This was fantastic. These songs sound like they will flow really well into eachother.

Nice Michael Stipe impression.

Listened to Carin for the first time last night. All I can say is fuck yes.

I'm so addicted to this song right now. I love The National so freaking much. :heartbeat:
