Azzurri Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 New tune: "Afraid of Everyone" http://pitchfork.com/news/38478-download-the-new-national-song-afraid-of-everyone-now/ it's a bit restrained compared to the live version, but still displays their understated brilliance.

replacements75 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 High Violet leaked!!! Link over at ateaseweb forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hi everyone! As you may have heard, there is a low quality leak of our new album, High Violet, spreading across the Internet as we speak. We wanted to let you know the New York Times - http://www.nytimes.com - will be streaming the real thing starting Friday April 23rd. We hope you'll take the time to hear the album at its intended level of quality. High Violet will be released by 4AD worldwide on May 10th/11th. -- thanks for your support!/the national If the copy going around right now really is low quality, I'll happily wait until Friday.

Kalle Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I've got a high quality version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I've got a high quality version.can you point me in the right direction of this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 just FYI, the version that leaked today (even the V0) is a terrible quality rip (transcoded from 128kbps), if you can hold off until the NY Times streams it in high quality on Friday, i'd def advise to do so.

radiokills Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 that's what i'm planning on doing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 it's truly worth it. as tough as it is... i waited a few weeks on the early shitty rips of Veckatimest and i'm glad i did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bleedorange Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 The big question is whether I want to wait until my vinyl copy gets to my house Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 The big question is whether I want to wait until my vinyl copy gets to my house I will do it, if you do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bleedorange Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I will do it, if you do it. I'm sure I'll break down at some point and listen to the stream. I'm pretty weak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I'm sure I'll break down at some point and listen to the stream. I'm pretty weak. me too, that's why I thought we would be stronger by combining forces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I am strong, and can carry both of you guys. Honestly, I find it easy to summon the will to be patient. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Killer Whales Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 The version I have was labeled as a high quality version, and it sure seems to be, especially compared to the current leak of the new Hold Steady. It sounds great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 You know, it will be much harder to avoid everyone's opinions about it, than it will be to avoid the leak. I may have to stay away from these parts for awhile if I want to listen to all the new music coming out with both fresh ears and a fresh head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I may have to stay away from these parts for awhile if I want to listen to all the new music coming out with both fresh ears and a fresh head. It's going to be impossible. Come on over here to the dark side where I've decided I'm going to listen. (Just once, though, and that's it until I get it.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coltrane Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Countdown! 7-8 hours away from the first show of a two night stand of "The National @ The National". Any other Richmond folks gonna be there? Also help finding a quality rip once the stream starts tomorrow would be appreciated. Not sure how many trips to atease my brain can cope with in a given week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boots Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Also help finding a quality rip once the stream starts tomorrow would be appreciated. Not sure how many trips to atease my brain can cope with in a given week. I don't even like Radiohead but I visit that site way too often. I think The National thread was up to 200 pages before it even leaked Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Gyrrr Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 What's the line in Bloodbuzz/Ohio is it- "I never thought about love when I thought about home" or; "I never thoughta bad luck when I thought about home" or none of those? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
welch79 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 i know the album is supposed to be streaming from the nyt' website today, but i am not finding it...anybody found it there yet who can help a brother locate the stream?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
welch79 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 with some deeper digging on the interwebz, i found the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/25/magazine/25national-t.html and, it is supposed to be streaming starting @ 8:30am EST, but it's not active yet. 9:01 am EDIT: well, sock me sideways...it's now active. 9:28 EDIT: shoot. the stream does not allow you to spin the entire track.

leatherman Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Love that the stream is made up of easily downloadable mp3's and not flash embedded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
virtualreason Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Love that the stream is made up of easily downloadable mp3's and not flash embedded. I think that's why they just took the stream down. I was through the 3rd song (Somebody's Ghost?) and the fourth wouldn't load. Upon reloading, the flash player disappeared and now I can't find it anywhere. BOOO! It was sounding epic.

GtrPlyr Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I am strong, and can carry both of you guys. Honestly, I find it easy to summon the will to be patient. I find with records I know I'm going to buy, like this one, I won't listen until I have the retail copy in my player--well, that's true most of the time . I find It more satisfying to hear a record for the first time in its natural untouched state, plus it's nice to peruse some artwork and liner notes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
