They're playing the whole new album live on 9/5 (before the album comes out) and live streaming it too :)

The fourth advance single for SWB is just maybe one of the best songs this band has ever done

Old Town Road to EGOT

I listened to it once last night and thought it was alright. Still love Day I Die and Dark Side of the Gym ruled. It's no Trouble Will Find Me, though. I listened to that whole album over and over again after it came out. I couldn't get enough of it.

Here's them performing Day I Die on Colbert last night:

I'm listening to Turtleneck again now and it very much reminds me of a Franz Ferdinand song

Old Town Road to EGOT

I gave it a proper 2nd listen at home loudly on my big speakers as opposed to not too loud in my car while driving, which is how I heard it the first time. Liking it more, but still don't think it's as good as Trouble Will Find Me. Nobody Else Will Be There, Day I Die, Guilty Party and Dark Side of the Gym are the highlights for me.

Spotify shuffled to I Should Live In Salt after it was done and that song is just so much more my poo poo than most of this album. It has that signature National morose sadness but it has this weight and energy to it that I feel like the majority of this album lacks.

They should've released that album instead.
