Love the new song. Never listened to SWB because I was going through a bunch of personal shit at the time so time to fix that.
Hope you're doing better just because, but also so you get the chance to enjoy a damn fine album now.
So I'm hoping they make Mistaken for Strangers a staple for this tour. Not my favourite National song but the one that sold me on them in 2007. Saw them for the first time on the Trouble Will Find Me tour, didn't play it; same with the SWB tour. Third time's the charm?
Wow these guys just don't stop. SUPER excited for this. The National’s Bryce Dessner Announces New Classical Album | Pitchfork
So finally sat down and listened to SWB. It is fantastic and nobody else will be there is one of my favorites of theirs now.
The System Only Dreams is probably in my top 5 favorite National songs... if I were to say, rank them in order from 1-5 in the thread and post it...
Say no more fam 1. Don't Swallow the Cap 2. Nobody Else Will Be There 3. Terrible Love 4. Pink Rabbits 5. Sea of Love Trouble is my favorite album
Shit see Guilty Party is fucking amazing as well. I just can’t do rankings with this band. I think the best way to go about it is to choose a few from each of the last five albums.
when I saw them last summer the opening chords to Nobody Else Will Be There sent the biggest shiver up my spine
