The National - Boxer

Yes I have been slow on the uptake, but isn't this just a great album.

On first listen I was unimpressed. It doesn't have any of the big songs of Alligator like 'Lit Up' or 'Mr November', but after listening to it 3 or 4 more times I probably like it more.

'Fake Empire', 'Mistaken For Strangers' and 'Slow Long Show' are really catchy slow-burning songs.

So, getting into albums months after they've come out and missing all the live shows, pretty great eh?
