It's good. I'll probably like it more after I listen to it all the way though a few more times. This line from the review on Pitchfork was funny: "The contrast between the two versions of himself, the staid crooner and the wild-eyed rocker, felt like the band’s ace in the hole: It meant they could play stadiums and soundtrack scenes of snow falling in sedate indie films about unhappy New England families."

The single is annoying. Not a fan. |

The single was good, heard it too much. Damn, Pitchfork gave it an 8.0. Considering Pitchfork rates established bands that might play their festival on an 8.0-9.0 scale, that's dire. |

I like it. It's on par with their other stuff IMO. A little different but not that much. One particular track I like is Guilty Party. |

Haven't the National been boring since The Boxer? I am not saying it has been bad but it's been all awash of the same sound. |

Yeah, it's all just Matt Berninger murmuring about spiders and the moon over too much drumming. |

I think this is the best since Boxer. Not like I would BUY it but would listen a few times on Napster before I forget about it. |

The same guy that gave SWB an 8.0 gave the new Foo Fighters a 6.5. Edited to add: Jayson Greene also just gave the new Killers record a 6.3 today.  P4K also gave Lil' Peep a 7.3. Lil' Fuckin' Peep....a 7.3?????
