Our Take

Oh, National, you cheeky bunch of moody rockers. High Violet (Expanded Edition) is like a cup of Earl Grey on a rainy day- comforting, familiar, and just a tad pretentious. But hey, that's part of your charm, isn't it?

This album feels like a dramatic Shakespearean tragedy set to music. Matt Berninger's baritone vocals are as haunting as ever, weaving tales of heartbreak and longing over lush arrangements that sweep you away like a gust of wind on a stormy night.

The expanded edition of High Violet adds a few extra tracks to the mix, like bonus scenes in a director's cut of a film. "You Were a Kindness" is a hidden gem, a bittersweet ballad that showcases Berninger's lyrical prowess. "Walk Off" is a raw, stripped-down beauty that hits you right in the feels.

Overall, High Violet (Expanded Edition) is a must-listen for any National fan. It's like visiting an old friend who never fails to captivate you with their tales of woe and wonder. So grab a glass of red wine, put on your best brooding face, and let the National take you on a journey through the highs and lows of life. Cheers, lads.
