The National

whatwhatsaywhat said:
the national haven't even got to seven good albums in a row yet, given that alligator was their first outstanding release

the debut and ssfdl were, let's face it, pretty mediocre

but the next five since? masterpieces in different ways, each and every one

can't wait to hear what they do next, and the new album has only been our a fortnight or so :)

SSFDL is a solid 8/10

Argh!!!

I keep seeing all these posts when I’m on my phone and never remembering about them when I’m at my computer so I can download them. 😩

Here to remind you to download them all (assuming you're now at your computer).

They're maybe not perfect, but the quality is actually so much better than you would think it is. Nice touches on a lot of the songs too. In regards to IAETF, it's really nice to hear a version of So Far So Fast that's basically just Matt singing the whole thing. It's become one of my favorite songs on the album. I love Lisa Hannigan's voice. But this live version is really good. Also guitars!

Just joined the Cherry Tree gang. Any other gang members know when this exclusive vinyl ships?

Last year it was shipped in early November. Who knows if they’re following the same schedule or not, but I wouldn’t get too excited yet!

I really love listening to the whole thing. It feels like a whole piece. But, anyway, I'm gonna give this a try... (though I suspect it'll keep changing)

Anyone going to the Atlanta show gotten your tickets yet? I'm a little nervous that it's two weeks out and they haven't arrived yet. Don't know why I opted for paper tickets.

I request paper when available as I have collected tickets for quite a while

I’m going to that one! And no I haven’t gotten tickets. I emailed them a bit ago and they just responded by repeating what was in the original email. Basically, it should arrive two weeks before the show (which would be this week). And if it hasn’t shipped by next week, I’m supposed to contact them. So...we’ll see what happens

I don't know what venue it's at but I would think most places can print them there if need be.

YHYSWY is a really poor opener IMO. I think I’m starting to dislike the scattered guitar. It’s fine but it doesn’t fit right with the rest of the album.
