1. Alligator
2. High Violet
3. Boxer
4. Trouble Will Find Me
5. Sleep Well Beast
6. Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers

Love Cherry Tree and Virginia but not going to compare them with these.
The top 3 is so close.

I really love Cherry Tree but I feel weird ranking it with the albums. I've listened to Sad Songs and the self-titled but its been a while and I didnt listen to either enough to rank them but I'm pretty certain they'd be at 6 and 7. I think High Violet gets points with me for getting me into them, when I first heard it I listened to it soooo much. If I hadn't heard it first I wouldn't be surprised if I put Boxer above it. I've never actually listened to the Virginia EP I might do that today.

Boxer is what got me into them and I'm sure is a reason why it's my #1. A part of me does think High Violet is better but Boxer just flows so damn well.

Listened to the self-titled today and actually quite liked it. I'm not sure if I'd rank it higher than anything else, but I'm glad I listened to it.

yeah self-titled isn't bad. it's missing a lot of the qualities that make the national great but it's pretty much pretty good indie rock.

the national are a full on brand now, announce Cherry Tree, a community for fans of The National; a place where the band can connect directly with, and give back to each of them. Sign-up now so you don’t miss out on the exciting things coming this year. MEMBERSHIP PERKS: Exclusive content Exclusive and limited edition merchandise Priority ticketing Annual collectible vinyl And more doesnt seem like the sign up button works so not sure how much it costs |

It says $50 per year when I click to subscribe which I guess isn’t awful if they’re giving you cool content and a vinyl every year

God it is always such bullshit to me when 'exclusive merch' is considered a perk of something. Ya mean we get to spend more money?? Hoo boy!

I mean, y'all don't have to buy anything. I agree that the whole concept is a little disappointing, but $50 for exclusive content and a record every year, plus whatever the ticketing perks are seems like it would be worthwhile to some folks.

Dear The National,
Please give me and the other five people who paid full-price for Homecoming complimentary Cherry Tree subscriptions.

Not no, but it's all so vague at this point. Knowing what the record for this year is would color my opinion a lot. |

I don't know maybe like one extra perk, maybe a free t-shirt for joining or big discounts on merch and I'd even consider doing something like this because the ticketing thing would be nice since I expect them to come to Texas later this year, and the vinyl sounds cool. But just those two things and then some overpriced exclusive stuff is pretty rough |

how does this compare to like the ten club?
also, is it for sure that you get a vinyl sent to you at no additional cost for the $50?

U2 charges $50 per year for essentially the same perks. But their yearly gift is rarely a vinyl. But like Pearl Jam, their shows can be very difficult to get tickets to.
