Damnit I was totally going to snag the album before leaving work.

I don’t think anyone disagrees with this.
Ok. Hosanna.

I was down on it at first when I heard the first singles. But man, does it work.
My wife said it was like The National was being backed by Jeff Tweedy.

My Eyes Are T-shirts reminds me of Karen, and Distant Axis is very reminiscent of a Decemberists song.
Overall, it’s pretty good. I still prefer him with The National, but he doesn’t try to get away from what he does well with them, and I feel that’s what’s working for me on the solo effort.

i have failed to give their last two a serious listen...i got about 45 minutes into i am easy to find this morning on a somewhat casual listen

The last two albums are good, but I don’t feel they’re as good as the four that preceded.
I’m not a fan of the album version of Rylan. Much prefer the one they did on KEXP. It’s not a National album I go back to much.

that was my initial first reaction, but i know not to go on that...actually, i was never that big on alligator, but boxer>high violet>trouble will find me is an incredible run
Sat October 17, 2020 8:26 pm
Agreed hunner percent on the run from high violet to twfm. Trouble is my all-time fav.

i think it's my second...took me a bit to get there though
Sat October 17, 2020 9:00 pm
High Violet took me awhile to get into. But it’s now a firm second place.
Sat October 17, 2020 9:10 pm
what’s y’alls’ favs? Boxer?
Also, I meant Boxer to TWFM.
Sat October 17, 2020 9:15 pm
high violet
trouble will find me
boxer
idk
Sat October 17, 2020 9:16 pm
i am going to attempt to give them all firm listens in the near future in order to truly determine my opinions

With the caveat that this is pretty impossible to rank these...
Boxer
Alligator
I Am Easy To Find
Trouble Will Find Me
Sleep Well Beast
High Violet
Sad Songs
S/T
...with the Cherry Tree EP hovering somewhere around SWB and High Violet. But honestly, these could all switch around, and I may just be putting Boxer at the top because it was my favorite for so long.

the national in general took me awhile to get into...i had heard a few older tracks and didn't care that much for them, then mr. november and had the same reaction (though i like it okay now)
it was probably here that somebody quote the "didn't anybody tell you how to gracefully disappear in a room..." and that made me want to give them another go...i believe boxer had been out a year or so at that point and it really grabbed me then
