Are The National The best modern indie rock band?
All other bands have faded into irrelevance after overhyped debut albums but they still keep making consistently good music
I have just watched them play their new songs live and they are still fantastic

Alligator and Boxer are still way better than anything they did since.
>baroque pop
>boring acoustic shit
>good
lol. their more post-punk influenced tracks are pretty good though
They're just tindersticks but not as good
they're just the musical equivalent to wonderbread
Those are both surprisingly accurate posts
They're elbow-tier
What's wrong with Elbow
They are the best alternative rock band from the UK right now
they made a few good albums so i guess they are pretty cool
Boring band
Elbow are good though bishnigga.
Spoon
They covered a pete and pete song, so thats cool
I didn't like Trouble Will Find Me but yeah they're a solid band. I can see why some people find them boring, but desu that's part of their appeal.
wtf I hate you now
TWFM is their only good album
The National are shitty normie-tier "INDIE". You are a pleb if you enjoy them
fuck, thank you for Elbow. best band ever
Nah they're pretty god. The Dessner brothers know how to keep things interesting while just using traditional rock instrumentation within their admittedly kind of basic format. Their drummer is fantastic and of course Matt's songwriting is fantastic and honestly pretty damn unique.
Maybe once you get out of your teen years you'll realize how useless those arbitrary buzzword labels are.
Also great band, though I didn't like their last album very much
Bryan Devendorf is a great drummer
The National is a group of talented musicians coming together to make awful songs
>talented musicians coming together to make awful songs
Sounds like most prog metal
People don't really get them. They are mundane and boring to the most arch level possible until it becomes inspiring. I think Graceless is one of the best hit songs of the decade, the lyrics are Steely Dan level almost, they have a lot of depth and the song just sounds so propulsive with strong drums and one of the best shouted choruses aside from Springsteen.

The new songs sound really good
Music for clothing stores at the mall
Elbow suck, by the way
Tell that to to the thousands of adoring fans worldwide, by the way. :)
>not liking patrician Coldplay
Their new album wasn't great though
