Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt
My SO likes them a bit, so I've heard the same 5 or 6 songs over and over again. They're aggressively fine; undoubtedly talented musicians but quite frankly more than a bit boring. Fake Empire, I Need My Girl, and Mistaken For Strangers are all mildly interesting and listenable enough, but the most recent track I've heard from them made me want to punch someone in the face.I actually went and really listened to The National -- a couple albums and a smattering of songs -- the last time we brought this up in the fall......and they grew on me.

Aggressively fine seems a good way to put it. So does liking them "a bit." I don't feel compelled to listen to more than I've heard, but I just can't really shit on Chaz for this one now.
"Mistaken for Strangers," "Don't Swallow the Cap," "The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness," "Fake Empire" are probably my favorites I've heard. My musical tastes aren't a mystery here, but I prefer more movement -- musically, vocally -- in my songs (not surprising those probably come the closest?).

It has just now occurred to me that his Tippett infatuation may be ginger bias...Davis Bertans not smiling on the inside:
I'll look into this and see if there's a pattern.

Didn't the national write The District Sleeps Alone? Birdy covered that back in the day. Good shitAggressively fine seems a good way to put it. So does liking them "a bit." I don't feel compelled to listen to more than I've heard, but I just can't really shit on Chaz for this one now.

Just the need to come out openly and say it, is embarrassing. Then he has to throw the whole "NeW eRa Of OrAnGe!!!!" bullshit in there. It's a whole new era of the same shit. Nothing has changed no matter how hard they try to say it has. The franchise just continues to miss the mark every chance they get
You're thinking of The Postal Service. That Birdy cover is a good one.

Oh dear. It’s contagious. We’re 3 weeks out from you having a top 10 albums with black and white hand-drawn covers recorded in the forests of the Rust Belt.

Hilferty could have stood up, dropped his pants and farted into the mic, and it would have meant more than that idiotic pandering.

Did George Canyon ever have a funk era?
Live your best life.
Striiker got something similar recently.

Sir, 2 of my favorite bands are Joy Division and the Smiths. The National might as well be ABBA.

The National is Joy Division for less cool 30-40 somethings who love them some brunches and poetry slams. I don’t like shaming people; I try to be understanding. So, I say they’re not bad but fine and put on some Siouxsie Sioux.
