I have a feeling this is going to be my favorite album of the year. The National are able to capture that sound that brings hope and optimism with every song. It's almost like art. Every song is designed to paint a landscape with themes of friendship, romance, and loneliness. Whereas bands today survive on singles to keep their careers going, the National craft albums that sustain themselves by being consistent. The Brooklyn band has carried that distinctive New York sound that I've grown to be very fond of nowadays and practically just redefined how it should sound like. The satisfying fact about this band is that they only have two albums under their belt which is amazing how much fame they've garnered quietly and how much better they will be as they continue to grow as band. I just hope I can catch them at Lollapalooza this year.
The National - Terrible Love
