On listen 3 now. Very good. Big departure in a lot of ways. Very electronic and innovative.  Not as bleak and poignant as Trouble Will Find Me. Love Nobody Else Will Be There, Born To Beg and Empire Line to death. Turtleneck might take a bit of persuasion...

Upvoted out of pure excitement! Can't wait! It's quite a long time until official release isn't it? Or am I confused with the tour..

Have you got it as mp3/flac/aac? just out of curiosity...

Of the live ones they did last year Turtleneck was by some distance the one I was least keen on. Was hoping it'd be better on record but maybe not...

 I think they are a very boring band to be sub headlining The pyramid

Yeah they're no Elbow.

Oh Dog Burger, you big old tease. Are you London based? 

[Badlands]

I think I've just riddled my tablet up with malware after seeing the original post and finding some daft leakfoundry site claiming to have the album. Cheers

I've looked far and wide. There is not a sniff of a leak anywhere. 

Apart from here...

Yup, just waiting for the ransomware to kick in, they'll probably want my Glastonbury tickets....

Day splits announced.

Day tickets on sale: 40 euros for the first set of tickets.

The National's playing pitchfork paris with €40 tickets for the day.

[Tuna]

Pitchfork Paris was great but not sure there's enough there for me to go again. Would 100% recommend though.

@Scruffylovemonster will be pleased to learn I had my epiphany with Alligator this week; Wednesday morning to be precise. Still not liking Karen tho. The way the Dessners play off each other is mesmerising, I think that's one of the reasons why The National are a band you really have to listen a lot to and pay a lot of attention to appreciate. Once you see what's going on, it's jaw-dropping.

Well, I'm not taking sides (don't think I'll ever do that again!), but Karen is one of the best songs on the album! Up there with Daughters of the Soho Riots.

Heard Peggo-O for the first time this week and it blew me away...

 

[Tuna]

You'll come round to Karen. Any record with Lit Up on it is gonna be a banger tho int it.
