Lol I kinda agree. I heard it live at Paris for the first time and I absolutely loved So Far So Fast (I recorded this track and I'd listen to it over and over 'cause the album wasn't out yet). When I heard the real So Far So Fast I got reeeeally disappointed with the female vocals. But it's a nice album after all.

It's not the fact that they use female vocals, it's the fact that they sound out of place, almost like they are trying too hard to do something different. It's almost going for a soul sound? They are supposed to be soulless

Do you still feel the same way after some time has passed? I wasn't affected one way or another before, but I've come to really appreciate the dialogue between voices on these songs.

New album, 'I am Easy to Find' out on May 17th. Feels like yesterday Sleep Well Beast dropped. Cannot. Wait.

I feel that Sleep Well Beast has not fully grown on me yet and we have another one already!

I'm always ready for a new album from the National. SWB clicked instantly (caught them live the week it released) – and the two new singles are awesome. May needs to hurry itself along.

The female voices sound totally out of place, so much so that they ruin the new songs for me. Like there's something artificial in the air, a total disconnect between their voices and all the other elements, just so forced. Will try to bear it again but it's terrible because I think it'll still feel a failed approach, and even worse as everything but the female singers feels great but I can't get to it because of the interference.

I Am Easy To Find is their most boldest record to date. The shifting male-female vocals absolutely works in stunning effect.

Not enjoying their new album at all on first listen. Seems unnecessarily pretentious and kind of boring. Maybe it's a grower.

Maybe it’s a grower? Every National album after the debut has been a massive grower.

Really enjoying the new album. It's a real slow burn, and super dense, but the production makes it easy to listen to and all the complex arrangements work perfectly together.

what is this new album?!? i know they have to change their sound slightly and keep evolving but there are too many female vocals on the new album, there are only 4 that sound like they are national songs?

I really appreciated the presence of female vocals on this album! The visual piece, with Alicia, is also incredible! What a beautiful work you done, guys!

Как в принципе может быть плох альбом с Алисией Викандер на обложке?)) Понравился их эксперимент с женским вокалом, надо расслушивать дальше)
