    agree.  From the couple of songs i've heard this is going to be another solid album.

    The Boxer podcast is really cringy. The band interviews are great. The commentary is less so.

    Agree 100%. There is some great stuff in there. But do they really need to repeat “we’re half awake in a fake empire” the full 4 times when going over the lyrics?

    Saw The National in L.A. on Friday night.

    The show started with a screening of their new short film.  Quite the somber story of a woman's life, with various National songs serving as the soundtrack.  That was followed by a Q & A regarding the film.

    The band then performed most of the new album, followed by an encore with some old favorites, including "Bloodbuzz Ohio" & "Fake Empire".

    It was a very well put together show.

    Can't wait to see them again in September!

    no i wasn't able to get to a phone/computer until later. Plus I heard tix sold out within a minute (most went in the presale). Might try stubhub or a  facebook group if prices are reasonable.

    I got 5 min in and had to peace out. I'm sure its awesome. Too heavy for me, even if its an arty take on the life cycle.

    The National is kicking on all cylinders.  Still creating and challenging themselves.  It seems like only Mike McCready has any passion left to grow and challenge himself.

    looks like i'm gonna have to skip this one unfortunately. Like i said tix were very hard to get and on stubhub going for like $85. I'll wait another month when they come back to philly.

    The new album is phenomenal. Most bands putting out 16 songs would seem too long, but I don’t feel that way with this one. Beautiful from beginning to end.
