I’ve got no songs from Boxer, which is one of my favourite albums. On another day I could have half that album in my top 10. There in lies the beauty of this band. In fact the only post Cherry Tree song of theirs I actively dislike is Turtle Neck. Yeah I think I agree with this. The run from Alligator to I Am Easy to Find is sensational and I think Turtleneck is the only real misstep in there. I listened to Sleep Well Beast the other day and it still holds up really well other than that song which just ruins the flow. Day I Die and The System... are both similarly upbeat songs by The National standards but they manage to fit into the album fine, Turtleneck just feels a bit out of place and inferior to the other songs.

nikkic Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Evening team, Mrs C gave birth to baby number 2 this morning, a beautiful little girl called Rosie, which was obviously my idea. Vanderlyle, Rylan, Carin, Karen and Abel were all quite rightly vetoed. 8 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1986 Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Anyone listened to the Bartees Strange ep of National covers? I hadn't heard of him before this but they're pretty good. He did Lemonworld as well so he obviously knows what's up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His debut album is out next Friday and from the songs out so far, it's going to be amazing. Been a big fan of his for a while now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedra Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Ok so my niece is the biggest The National fan ever and I have been to various festivals with her to see them - had not quite ever really got into them although have found them growing on me and last time I saw them at APE was surprised how many songs I knew and really enjoyed it. Have been listening this afternoon in the garden to I am Easy to Find and am officially declaring that I really like this band! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True to form, The National are my most popular artist of all time. They also occupy 10 of my top 20 songs. However, in a strange twist, my top song is apparently Disco Love by The Saturdays. Turns out it’s my wife’s “gym song”. FFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
