I just bought tickets to see these boys when they visit my fine town in September.

Still like the live version better. This is a little to languid.

The songs from this album have taken 2 years of listening here to interest me in seeing what might be on the rest of the album.  Grew on me like a slow moving fungus.

Love the drums on this one (and most of their stuff).  A definite highlight from High Violet.

Gotta say I agree. For me, this is not a bad thing. Miss my Morphine...(band, not drug)!

I'd exchange the expression "dead flat boring" into "laconic". I think the sound is artistically intended. Not a lack of (drum, singing, texting, etc.)-talent/skills... :o)

but that's just mho.

Just try the double back beat on the snare. Harder than it sounds.

Good album. My son saw them at Bonneroo a year ago, and I bought this on his recommendation. Not disappointed.

At first I thought he was singing "Didn't want to be your goat."  Guess my hearing is going baaaad.

OMG! Same album as Swarm of Bees in Ohio?  The National takes on a wide range.  I'm likin' this pretty good.

I guess he's a love it hate it element. He's mentioned before how he wants to sound like a drum machine sometimes, Joy Division etc.

I bought this recording and it took me about 4 listens to get into it. Outstanding tracks abound on High Violet!  Will it stand the test of time?  Not sure.
