High Violet

Comments about 4AD National - High Violet:

High Violet is a powerfull cd if you're home alone and just want to lie on the couch and relax. With its almost flowding music and nice vocals you don't realise you've been through all the tracks before you take a look on the cd-player or the cd stops.
In my oppinion its a standard cd, but not standard as in "normal". Its a standard cd for me, personally, with the harmoni in the songs and the tempo changing.
I think if there had been more dynamic tones and a little bit more diffenrence in the songs it would have been the cd of the year.
Im giving it 4 stars due to the 3 big hit tracks:
( Anyone's Ghost - Afraid of Everyone - Bloodbuzz Ohio )
It doesn't mean that the other songs sucks - it means that these 3 songs are the top of the iceberg because you've heart them so much in radio and stuff. With the other songs you have to go deeper and listen af bit more excited.
But buy it - its worth the money :)

Great album. I especially like the songs Sorrow, Bloodbuzz Ohio and England. I know, It's weird, but listening to Sorrow makes me happy - it's beautiful.

With their latest album "High Violet" The National continue their melancholy exploration of everyday life. No new ground broken here, but there's no need to. "High Violet" is the sound of a band refining the music they're good at. If you love your rock music personal and slightly downbeat, don't miss it.

Incredible album from "The National", inbelievable hit songs. Each song carries a well-design pop-rock flavour. Can´t stop listenning to it and probably it will be one of the best this year.

Comments about 4AD National - High Violet:

Perhaps it's the video for Bloodbuzz Ohio, but listening to this album feels like one of those conversations you have with a complete stranger after one drink too many, where you find yourself feeling a direct connection with that person's pain and longing. Where what might have been a drunken ramble becomes something spoken directly from the heart.

For me there is an evocation of the same kind of melodic confession of vulnerability that I always loved about David McComb and The Triffids. While they sang of the loneliness of the wide open road, The National takes us to the end of the road and what it feels like when you get to where you think you wanted to go.

Highly recommended
