The National are a great band we should keep discussing.

[LemonMelon]

Haven't played either, but I really want to.

Video games are pretty cool.

 

[IWasBored]

I like video games.

 

[u2popmofo]

I don't.

 

[LemonMelon]

They're always taking my money

 

[IWasBored]

I don't.

Now who's the liar!

 

[iron yuppie]

Now my apartment is a bit nearer to completion:

 

[Imperor]

Love that. I hate thinking of how many things I need to get framed.

 

[PhilsFan]

I still gotta see that movie.

 

[monkeyskin]

Bump.

Music of Portal 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



And if you want the songs lyrics ruined for whatever you'd made of them for yourself, see here how there's a very high likelihood it was written specifically for the game:

Exile Vilify Lyric Meaning - The National Meanings

More like The Ca$hional, amirite??

Portal 2 is a better game than Exile/Vilify is a song, and Exile/Vilify is a great, great fucking song. The former is really near the pinnacle of its medium, actually, and a beautiful piece of art.

What I'm saying is, at least The National didn't write a song for Call of Duty Black Ops 2 or some shit.

 

[iron yuppie]

There are now three previously unheard songs floating around. Here are two of them, from a recent concert in England:

[nielsgov]

I'll listen to these once, and then never again.

 

[djerdap]

I'm liking most of these new songs. So an album might turn up in 2013. The sooner the better.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

So an album might turn up in 2013.

Oh, no shit?

 

[bono_212]

!

 

[djerdap]

But they might pull an In Rainbows and sit on it for another year and a half...

 

[cobl04]

Or pull a King of Limbs and release it next week.

 

[djerdap]

I hope it's gonna be better than that album though.

 

[cobl04]

I should really listen to their first two albums at some point.

 

[djerdap]

Sad Songs is my favourite of their records, along with Alligator.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

High Violet was amazing and their next has a lot to live up to.

 

[IWasBored]

I don't really like anything off sad songs as much as I like lucky you. The rest is pretty mediocre compared to the last three. Still haven't heard much off the first one, other than what I got live (which was son...and...that's about all I remember, actually).

 

[nielsgov]

Sad Songs has a few mediocre songs but also some of their best. Cardinal Song, Slipping Husband, Available, Fashion Coat, It Never Happened...all top songs.

 

[LemonMelon]

The debut has to be one of the most boring albums ever. Not the worst by any means, just incredibly dull and nondescript.

Sad Songs kills. Definitely their hardest rocking album.

 

[djerdap]

Available is my favourite song. Other than those already mentioned, Patterns of Fairytales, 90 Mile Water Wall and Thirsty are also great tracks. The only time where album falters is the two wives part.

 

[BoMac]

The band just posted this on Twitter about a minute ago.

Looks like they're dropping hints.

 

[PhilsFan]

They have been posting pictures of them working in studio on Instagram for months. Apparently they are currently recording in Berlin, so this next album is totally going to be Achtung Baby.

 

[u2popmofo]

Achtung Baby, We'll Be Fine

Achtung Crybaby Geeks

Etc.
