More 5G Than Man
Ha, I can hear the Mr. Brightside comparison. It's the cadence in the vocals I think.
You guys actually found a way to argue about that? Alligator by miles.
I was all set to write an insanely long and sappy post about The National and the album and some bullshit about my life but am opting to spare everyone and just say that I'm still listening to this album and still loving it.
For me this is the weakest album of theirs lyrically, debut excepted.
I think it is a much stronger album, both lyrically and musically, than High Violet.
Everyone picks out the "I do not light it up/fuck" line from Demons as a highlight, but the whole song really resonates with me. It almost hits too close to home.
You know you had a permanent piece of my medium-sized American heart.
How I love that line. Otherwise, though, I think Astronauts would be the one song Alligator could stand to lose. For Trouble, I would say that song is Heavenfaced.
'the fuck are you talking about?As for flow

Most of their albums for me have this problem with flow (except Boxer). Just when it feels like we're going somewhere, back into the ditch with something like Little Faith or Val Jester or Fireproof.
