The National

[fightoffyour]

Must have listened to it 20 times and it's still getting better. I think it's their best album now.

Got Manchester and Belfast tickets but still want them at Glasto more than any other band.

[When Jokers Attack]

On second listen now (I'm going to be playing this all week)

Since they aren't doing any dates in Scotland, Me and my mate are looking into going to see them in Ireland as London and Manc dates are sold out.

[let's 'ave it!!!]

Gotta be a contender for album of the year?

Favourite today is 'This is the last time'...but that could well change tomorrow,

[PigOnAntibiotics]

when are these guys gonna get announced? they're so obviously playing

[pedmills]

I'd be interested to see where the album charts. They are very gradually becoming huge.

[let's 'ave it!!!]

I reckon it will easily make top 10, 5 even, where did High Violet chart? I know it was seen as something of a commercial breakthrough for the band

[russycarps]

Listening to this album non stop, it's brilliant.

Problem is, the casual listener wont have the patience to get in to this album. There are no songs on it that will capture their tiny minds. There is no One Day Like This type anthem (thank god!) so I think this band will forever been under-appreciated by the masses. And thank god. I'd much rather go see them at venues like brixton than shit holes like the O2 arena.

I'm sure their bank balances would think the opposite though...

[ThomThomDrum]

They are defo on the up and could take off further IMO. Sure just here in Ireland they have always played small venues (max ~1500) other than festivals, but now with these gigs are playing the Point Depot (O2 Dublin) in Autumn and it holds nearly 15,000! 10 times as many! They probably will not sell out, but that still says a lot about the popularity of them and how its on the up.

[let's 'ave it!!!]

So badly want them at Glastonbury this year, with the gap in their tour and that empty slot Saturday on the Pyramid, along with them being SR on here, just need to join the dots and it will happen!

Please play.

[Superscally]

Noble.

[When Jokers Attack]

Humilation is my favourite just now. Could go down as one of their best songs.

[Dog Burger]

Pink Rabbits, Graceless, Slipped and Don't Swallow The Cap for me from the new album if I'm choosing, but really the whole thing is fantastic.

Would shit my pants if they played again this year. 2010 was amazing enough.

[fightoffyour]

Hard to Find

[Vanderlyle]

Love the opening number... I Should Live in Salt (well I love the chorus...)

Graceless is just classic - no arguments can be had there.

I like the simplicity of I Need My Girl, although I can understand TN fans being annoyed by title. Don't Swallow the Cap and This is the Last Time great too.

Plus it's by far the best quality of vinyl I've ever got from TN. Which makes me a happy panda.

[When Jokers Attack]

They better get announced. Pyramid before Elvis Costello?

[Wooly Mammoth]

This is the best album of the year. FACT.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Finally have my album and have listened to it three times so far. It is beautiful and, what's more, I think it will be a grower so I can see myself loving it more with further listens. Hard to place it yet but I'd say better than High Violet but maybe not better than Alligator or Boxer.

So far, 'I Need My Girl' and 'Graceless' stand out. The first one especially stopped me in my tracks. And 'Don't Swallow The Cap'.

God I love this band. Do I want them halfway up the Pyramid playing to an indifferent crowd though? Not sure. I'd much rather have them on a smaller stage. Any chance of that at all?

[Wooly Mammoth]

First I stream albums, if I like them then I'll buy a digital copy(recommend this website http://www.fairsharemusic.com)

but when I love an album then it's worth paying the money for the Vinyl.... this is definitely my next Vinyl purchase.

Please play Glastonbury.

[DL50]

Might be a bit one-note. National > Costello > Scream > Stones. I wouldn't be surprised to see them 5th with Prof Green above them to break it up a bit.

Of course, I wouldn't be guessing like this if Glastonbury had bothered to tell us the running order

It's certainly a grower.

Love it more and more every listen.

What a band!

[Superscally]

Surely they wouldn't play 5th? Far too low for them in my opinion, 4th behind Costello seems right

WHY HAVE THEY NOT BEEN ANNOUNCED YET!
