The National

[PHATJ]

I listened to Boxer yesterday. I had barely listened to anything from these guys before, I liked it a lot.

I'm loving this more and more with every listen. It's pretty incredible stuff.

This has been my reaction to every album by the National. The more I listen, the more I like it.

Me too

They're growers, not showers. Lolz. But seriously, The National are BY FAR my favorite current band. The El Vy record is phenomenal too.

one of the guitarist brothers (forget which one) keeps posting pics in the studio on instagram. any idea what the sessions are for? is for the national or side project?

I think I might go on a little The National listenning binge again. It's been awhile.

Which is you favorite?

[Simple Torture]

I bought that 9-disc boxset that's just hours and hours of "Sorrow." I've listened to like the first 2 so far.

They're all so freaking good. The top 4 are nearly interchangeable for me (and I love Sad Songs too).

My son's name is Abram, and we very much considered Abel.

Some of my favorites are on Alligator.

[bodysnatcher]

"Fake Empire" was my intro to The National, so it'll always hold a special place for me

[LoathedVermin72]

Alligator is easily their best, you goons.

[Strat]

Alligator is easily their best, you goons.

Today, we find common ground.
