High Violet - The National

Listening to this album a lot.
The songs get better and better with each listen.
Mildly obsessed with almost every song.
Vanderlye Crybaby Geeks is a beautiful closer.

The National are a band that get better and better with each album and High Violet is probably their strongest album to date. The band are currently recording the follow-up and it should be out sometime this year. I can't wait to hear it.

Matt also said that he wanted the next record to sound as different from High Violet as possible :P

Louder, faster sound perhaps? High Violet is quite mellow

Rob094 · 24-01-2012 08:45PM

Yeah maybe, possible a throwback to their "Alligator" sound

i try most stuff recommended on here and on other sites. im very open minded with music.

but i dont get the love in with this band at all. the lead singers voice winds me right up.

and blood buzz ohio is high on most top lists,fannings fab 50 etc.

genuinely dont get it guys

bloodbuzz ohio rubbed me up the wrong way.

the penny finally dropped.they are fast becoming one of my favourite bands.

strange how that happens

That's happened to me in the past with some bands (The Smiths, The Stone Roses). Out of curiosity, have you reappraised Bloodbuzz Ohio?

I'd say about today is my favourite tune from the national. Pure class.

InTheTrees · 09-10-2012 10:06PM

Def one of my favourites. Is there a new album soon? Seems overdue...

Corholio · 10-10-2012 01:36AM

Just seen this thread brought up again, I had thought 'Rylan' and 'I Need My Girl' would be already put up, but it seems not. They were played months ago on Q in the US.
