they fucking suck
i-i like them
Fucking love them. I don't know, they may be the most cliché indie white band ever, but their songwriting is phenomenal.
Alligator > High Violet = Boxer > Trouble Will Find Me. I haven't listened to the rest yet.
essential lonely twenty-something living in the city core
which fits me to a T
when will they quit fucking around with their side projects and release another album
>>66288411
they played several new songs lately, and Berninger said the new album will be released in very late 2016 / most likely early 2017.
>>66288443
rad!
What's your favourite National song guys?
Trouble Will Find Me is one of the most boring albums I've ever listened to.
I expected something
something better than before
>>66288623
It's probably All The Wine
>>66288358

The most consistent indie rock band of the 00s
>>66288865
>consistent
well, considering how average their debut is, i would go so far
>>66288963
wouldn't*
>>66288318
One of the most boring fucking bands I've ever listened to. If I ever decide to commit suicide I am going to put one of their albums on repeat while I do it just to further convince myself I'm making the right choice

I liked them when they were more unknown. Boxer. If they didn't get famous I would probably still like them.
>>66288963
But they've been on a consistent streak since Cherry Tree.

I love them. Even though calling them a "grower band" is a cliche at this point, it really does describe them. Every time one of their new albums have come out, I thought I was disappointed with them but kept listening and slowly came around to loving almost every song. They put on a good live show, too.

>don't look at me, i'm only breathing
so fucking boring
boring music for boring white people
that's all there is to it
>>66288623
Slipping Husband or All the Wine
i really hope their next album has more of that screaming stuff that matt hasn't done for years
>>66292637
dunno but the next album has the GOAT song names
>Find A Way (Iris)
>The Day I Die
>Kingston
Boring white people music that's actually good
High Violet > Boxer > Trouble Will Find Me > S/T
loved what I've heard so far, haven't heard the rest
should I try alligator
>>66288393
Nah they're not so cliché imo
>>66288411
this desu
>>66293216
>should I try alligator
yes, it's my favorite
if you liked boxer, you'll like alligator
it's a little louder and rockier but i tend to connect the two albums
>>66288318
Trouble Will Find Me is better than Alligator and anybody who says otherwise is blinded by nostalgia
>>66293216
>should I try alligator
fuck yeah, it's more rocky as >>66293257 said, but the songwriting is still good and it's full of sweet melodies
>>66293330
so much truth in this reply.
>>66288318
Literally a worse version of the Shins
they're pretty authentic in my opinion, just white old guys doing good shit, nothing phenomenal but their songwritting is on point, just comfy-core
Alligator is their best, Boxer is my fav
also new album when you lazy fucker
