Although The Interior has ever been a bit too dangerous to do it big in the pop world and a bit too elementary to make any big splashes in the post-rock world, these guys have been patiently creating dark and brooding rock for days now. And although it would be easy to write off High Violet as more of the same, it might only be The National's best release yet.

Eric's Music Ramblings and Indie Musings: The National - High Violet
The National - High Violet
Go to spectrumculture.com and take the reast of the top 20 list.The National reportedly intended to get an optimistic, catchy record as their follow-up to Boxer. Instead, this year's High Violet was every bit as black as its predecessor. It also ended up every bit as good; indeed, one is hard-pressed to place the album's premier song because nearly all of them are just that damn great.
