The National - First Two Pages of Frankenstein

If the first two pages are this boring, I ain't reading the rest of this bullshit!

Release a massively popular critically acclaimed album and gather new fans in the process. Check.
Follow said album up with a mediocre muddled album. Check.

Now they sit in this weird space where dare you say any of their new albums are bad or be forever shat on by the uber-fans who claim you only really liked Merriweather Post Pavillion and just don’t get it man.

Here's everything I own on vinyl. I've been slowly gathering stuff since around 2012. There was a time where I didn't buy much as I was living in England and my turntable was at my parents house in ...

Here's a bunch of albums that I personally enjoy and have little reviews and are most often well below 25 ratings. Perhaps you could take my recommendations and give these a try and give them a ...
