I'm not a big fan of music that sounds like it was recorded by people laying in bed.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--> yeah that's always been my takeaway with the national...just not enough energy there. there doesn't seem to be much dynamic. for me i think it's his voice. <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

i like that tune. i've only listed to boxer and the new one and since everybody loves those and I don't I never bothered to listen to their older stuff. if it's like this I might have to check it out.

If you like this tune more than the stuff from Boxer and High Violet, you'll probably like most of that album -- Alligator. Abel, Lit Up, and Mr. November are all pretty rockin'. But...there's also plenty of stuff more like Conversation 16. I love all of it, but I get why they aren't everyone's cup of tea.
