The fifth studio album from the now Brooklyn-based band is the artsy indie decadence we've come to expect from The National. Vocalist, Matt Berninger has a voice unlike anyone else you may have heard, especially on the indie scene. It's deep and haunting; perfect for the profound, poetic, and at times dark lyrics featured on this and most of their past work. It's heavy in a lot of ways; the kind of music that you want to listen to on your headphones, close your eyes, and try to absorb all of it, There's something about this work that stays with you after you've really listened to it. This album is incredibly aristically driven. The National has drawn inspiration from paintings and sculptures. You really could listen to any of their five albums and kind of gather that it was heavily inlfuenced by abstract art and whiskey, but it's a little more prevalent on this record. It's self produced and uncompromised. I greatly respect and admire it.
