Track Listing

Product Description

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 its 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.

Album Reviews

I kept seeing The National's new album in commercials, so I decided to check them out. I do not regret the purchase, as most of these songs are pretty good. I like Terrible Love, Runaway, Little Faith, and England the most. I was glad I decided to purchase this album, so I recommend it!

There is just something about this band that I love. I first started listening to them after their last album "Boxer" and have been a fan since. My favorite track has to be "Sorrow", it has such a deep feel to it that I loved.

I love this album. Enough said. From the opening riff of Terrible Love to the striking atmosphere of London, it just sucks me in. Another wonderful outing by The National.

I've been hooked on the national since the release of Alligator years ago. This album does nothing but impress this longstanding fan. The haunting lyrics and impressive lyrics can humble me again and again.

The National return stronger and better than ever with some of their most brilliant and entertaining work to date. This album will further hook fans and will also entice those just now discovering the band.

This album is so good. Runaway has to be my favorite song, I loved the music to this entire album. I only wish there was more to this album it seemed kind of short with only 10 songs.

This album is the best. I think it is my very favorite music right now. I love their edgy style. The lyrics to "Sorrow" are phenomenal.

The National are one of my favorites right now! This cd is on repeat in my car! i cannot get enough. Favorites are definitely Little Faith and Runaway. A must buy!
