May 21, 2019There are bits and pieces of their past albums' inspirations sprinkled throughout the 60+ minute run-time of "I Am Easy to Find". All of those bits, however, are swallowed whole by horridly boring melodies and ballads. The National has created what is easily their worst release to date.

May 28, 2019While the National have been transformed and enhanced by the tendrils of connection that have grown out into a wider world here with this bold and remarkable series of collaborations and joint ventures, they also remain their essential selves.

May 22, 2019By allowing their diligently designed blueprint to take a new, unexpected form, the National haven’t ceded the spotlight, only broadened it.

May 20, 2019The centre of gravity around which they've always spun, the human heart of Berninger's lyrics that was always caked under middle-class anxiety and "quote-unquote upscale tropical funeral" surrealism, has never been easier to find. This tension between open-heartedness and discursive, tangential songwriting--let's call it the distance between simplicity and complexity, for closure's sake--is the paradox on which this album is built, and to that brilliant balancing act you can always return when it feels like it's losing the thread.
