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.

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).
1. Boxer
2. High Violet
3. Trouble Will Find Me
4. Alligator
5. Sad Songs
6. S/T

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