The National are a great band we should keep discussing.

Headed out soon to my local record store to pick this up. Will let you know if I see any special editions.

Yeah, it's just a standard promotional poster that comes with it. Got it this morning at Bull Moose.

Thanks, killer of dreams

Killed my own. Would have loved a bonus CD of live or acoustic versions, a la The Shins from last year.

I kind of expected this but still.

Albums with any degree of subtlety go way over his head. This year alone, The Terror, Push the Sky Away and now TWFM have all gotten shitty scores.

Of course Death Grips gets 10000000000/10

The CD packaging and booklet are pretty awesome.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

The booklet really is gorgeous with all that art, all those lyrics...

Yeah, he's becoming a caricature recently. The only thing he seems to appreciate anymore is uptempo and/or thrashing stuff like Death Grips and Liturgy. I'm not sure he has an ear at all for subtlety.
