High Violet was a meticulously austemperiertes masterpiece between outbreak and restraint, whose songs are almost no longer perceived sheer production. The complexity of its eleven tracks opened up almost on the principle of reaching the level of video games like Super Mario. Man just had to hold on, to really move ahead and to really grasp. Meanwhile one can High Violet with good intentions on a big hit (Bloodbuzz Ohio), reduce herausgeschriene despair (Conversation 16) and great pathos for the stadium curve (England), and you get an idea of how good this fifth album by The National actually is. In Trouble Will Find Me just puts a lot of petty work, only that one make the five New York much easier with the entry. With Demons make still the rhythmic verkopfteste piece brave second. Just as they would seriously believe it would over its strangely shifted clock pattern not trip over it. You do but, even if that makes nothing, because Don`t Swallow The Cap immediately starts up again and leaves a for almost five minutes flying. Rarely did so subdued rock so euphoric. It remains however. Trouble Will Find Me relies on more variety than just Calculated outbreak moments. At the most energetic is the work, if it is simply pursuing his stubborn line of rhythm and bass throbbing drums and the melodies as signals from a distance closer and closer and finally a welcome with a warm embrace. And of course with all the non Matt Berniger`s voice be denied the balm lies down on the wounds of bleeding soul. It is perhaps especially in Trouble Will Find Me, the flagship of The National.
