High Violet- the new full-length record by The National is a nervy melodic explosive and beautiful set of songs that find the band at the height of their collaborative powers. The music is wide-ranging in it's moods by turns intimate and rough expansive and spare full of stark angles and atmosphere. Berninger's singing wild half-broken sly evokes a feeling of being haunted by love by paranoia by something just out of reach. High Violet may be The National's most thematically twisted record to date but it somehow also manages to be their most infectious and immediate. - - - TracksCredits - 1 Terrible Love - 2 Sorrow - 3 Anyone S Ghost - 4 Little Faith - 5 Afraid of Everyone - 6 Bloodbuzz Ohio - 7 Lemonworld - 8 Runaway - 9 Conversation 16 - 10 England - 11 Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks
