I’m listening to The National’s album “First Two Pages of Frankenstein” (Spotify link).

I’ve never listened to their stuff before. Just one song: ‘About Today’ (Spotify link), that I discovered via it being in “Warrior” (2011).

There was a profile of the band I bookmarked though. I didn’t bother reading the article – it was too long and I’m not that interested. But it said their new album was good. So here I am, checking it out.

It’s okay. I probably need to give it a second listen, as I’ve had it on in the background as I read and write. But currently it’s a 5/10. The songs are too dull and too similar. Oddly enough, the best song on the album is the one with Taylor Swift (Spotify link).
