Except that Alligator is much better than Boxer.

High Violet is amazing. It's too early to compare to Alligator or Boxer; I'll need to give myself a few weeks with it.

Boxer has a bigger appeal at first, but i find Alligator better.
Im really enjoying this new album, a lot more then i thought i would.
I wish they would have given the album a C name to follow the Alligator Boxer C------ theme

Two albums that still sit in the upper echelon of National music for me... Do y'all selves a favor and check out Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers, if you haven't already... Cardinal Song is one of the core reasons I've loved this band for so long.

Sad Songs is amazing (Cardinal Song, Fashion Coat, Lucky You are all A+). Cherry Tree has a few gems as well. In my opinion Alligator has the most range, and is the most complete. Boxer is the most accessible. I've been streaming the album on the nytimes site, and am going to try to hold off till May 11 so I can avoid the low quality files. This is one of the few bands that I have no issue paying for their music.

That's a fair analysis, especially about boxer. After a week of having the album I still feel like it's a grower, but in the best ways; I do like it, but I feel like I haven't gotten to a "love it," type place, however Runaway is getting me there.

I would feel bad about downloading music but I think the hundreds of dollars I spend in merch and shows makes up for it.

Runaway did absolutely nothing for me the first couple times I heard it. Then all of a sudden I was like, whow....this is really awesome. Conversation 16 is absolutely brilliant too. "I was afraid I'd eat your brains." God I love him.

You know I think I saw that, or at least something along the lines, and I could see that argument. I would love to make it, but I believe myself to be to biased and wouldn't wholly be able to take into account everything while dissociating the personal affiliations.

Regardless it always sends the same shivers through me as Cardinal Song, Soho Riots, Theory of the Crows, and John's Star. It's actually eerie in how it felt so strong even on the first listen.

Can't talk about shiver-inducing National songs without mentioning Slow Show. I had always overlooked them until I heard that song. The first time I heard it I felt like I was going to cry haha.

You know I honestly thought that was in before Cardinal Song... When the chorus came out on their self titled all those years ago with Matt singing in that raspy voice on that lo-fi recording... It was eerie. Then listening to Boxer when it came out, and hearing it with so much more power and force, that eerie did became the straight shiver inducing experience I have now.

Hmm, am I misunderstanding your post or are you saying that the chorus from Slow Show was in a song on their selt-titled? I'm least familiar with that album so I'm not sure.
