I'm a little confused by the track order you have; I downloaded mine from eMusic, and the order is considerably different. But that is hardly the point -- you describe the album and its power/allure well. There is a measured majesty to their sound. I get why some people are put off by this band, or are puzzled by the acclaim. But, man, they work for me. Big-time. I'd love to see The National in a club, especially after watching them play "Terrible Love" on Fallon. They rocked. Good thoughts, good evaluation.

The only reason I ask is that the one I bought goes like this: 1. Terrible Love 2. Sorrow 3. Anyone's Ghost 4. Little Faith 5. Afraid of Everyone 6. Bloodbuzz Ohio 7. Lemonworld 8. Runaway 9. Conversation 16 10. England 11. Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks This would appear to be considerably different from the one being reviewed here... Are there various track listings for High Violet?

Still an excellent album and well worth getting. I am enjoying this album but I don’t think it reaches the heights of Boxer or Alligator. Still an excellent album and well worth getting.
