Apparently she co-wrote some of the lyrics with Matt.

PhilsFan · 05-11-2017, 04:05 PM

She does that a lot. She has credits on a few songs from Boxer (Brainy, Ada, Gospel) and High Violet (Little Faith, Conversation 16, Vanderlyle), and all the Trouble Will Find Me lyrics are "By Matt Berninger with Carin Besser."

I remember most things I see or hear when I'm not blacked out drunk, so I remember some things.

This song is SO GOOD. I'm beyond excited for the album.

TWFM and HV were remarkably good albums, and I wouldn't have minded another like them, but the new sound is certainly exciting in a way.

Their presale worked flawlessly for the tour. I love their method: texting you a pre-sale code, which makes it harder for scalpers to get in. Got GA for their 6 October show in Queens. Can't wait.

Joey788 · 05-15-2017, 11:53 AM

Same here! Also GA at Forest Hills Stadium!

PhilsFan · 05-16-2017, 03:42 PM

How expensive are the tickets for you guys? The cheapest ones I'm seeing (third level in this theater) are $65 plus fees.

PhilsFan · 05-16-2017, 09:42 PM

Here's to being priced out of 2017 shows for my two favorite bands!

IWasBored · 05-18-2017, 10:41 AM

Out of habit I took note of the Boston date, and then remembered I live in Denver now. No National for me

corianderstem · 05-18-2017, 02:20 PM

Yay, got a ticket in the local theater group presale. Will see their second Seattle show in November.

$95 after fees for GA. Ridiculously expensive, I found.

PhilsFan · 05-19-2017, 07:50 AM

Yeah, floor seats at the Philly show were $110 after fees.

corianderstem · 05-19-2017, 10:07 AM

Wow. Tickets in Seattle were a flat 50 across the board (all GA, floor + balconies), came to about 69 after fees.

$70 apiece for San Diego and somehow managed to pull front row aisle seats in the first section just left of the stage. So, perfect, basically.

This was through the Ticketmaster Verified Fan pre-sale.

I ADORE The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness. Quickly becoming one of my favourite songs by them. So excited for this record.

Dalton · 06-05-2017, 01:58 PM

Would one of you slappies be willing to post the playlist they just posted to Spotify? It's songs that they were listening to while recording the new album.

Song just clicked with me today. Tremendous use of layers.

cobl04 · 06-05-2017, 09:08 PM

It's SO nice to hear a guitar solo. Also, really looking forward to the live version of the track, Matt's definitely gonna be screaming the "I can't explain it / I can't explain it / any other / any other way" parts.

iron yuppie · 06-05-2017, 09:23 PM

I think the part I like most is the immediate intro with the ascending female vocals.
