Keeps Getting Better
The first notes of this album blew me away; this album starts strong with "Fake Empire," a confusing and beautifully tempoed (if that's a word) song. As with other National albums, this one does take some getting used to, off the bat I really enjoyed "Slow Show" and "Ada," but now I'm getting into"Apartment Story" and "Racing like a pro." I would probably recommend getting "Alligator" first if you are new to the National, but this album is stellar.
