Love The National, but haven’t been that into their past two albums. Hoping this one hits me better than those.

I like I'm Easy to Find more than Sleep Well Beast but neither is peak The National. That being said I'm excited for this one.

Same. Before Sleep Well Beast, they were one of my favorite bands. I guess they still are, but I’d like to see a return to form (the form I like). This song, along with “Weird Goodbyes” has me hopeful.

Album out today. Anyone checked it out yet? I have only heard This Isn't Helping (Phoebe Bridgers) and The Alcott (Taylor Swift) I like both quite a bit and will dive deeper later tonight.

My vinyl should be arriving today. So far, I’d say that this is better than their last two albums, but I don’t think they will ever reach the level of Alligator-Trouble Will Find Me again, and that’s fine. Not many bands have a run like that.

I think my favorite track right now is Your Mind Is Not Your Friend . I guess it’s kinda personal to me.
