I don't know if Boxer could ever be topped for me. It keeps such an interesting musical style throughout the entire album without wavering or producing a bad song. If I had to rank the rest, it'd be:

High Violet
Alligator
Cherry Tree
Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers
The Virginia EP
Trouble Will Find Me
The National
Boxer

I really like their first two albums compared to most other people. Their entire first album is especially underrated - Theory of the Crows is easily top 5 National songs.

I'm excited to see where Sleep Well Beast will fall on the list. I've listened to all of the live versions of the songs and they're pretty great, but it'll be interesting to see how they work together on the album. There seems to be a higher ratio of slow songs, which I'm worried may become boring.

I've always enjoyed The National, less maybe that weird turn they did on Game of Thrones, but Sleep Well Beast is the first album that I've pre-ordered after hearing System on XMU. It's cool and good.

The GOT song was weird, but their Bob's Burgers stuff is great!

If anyone else got their vinyl copy early, the download codes just got up and working. This also means the final studio version will leak soon for the rest of you!
