Sleep Well Beast Album Cover
PRAISE FOR SLEEP WELL BEAST
"The National's upcoming full-length, Sleep Well Beast, is shaping up to be the best album the band has done." - NPR
"Sleep Well Beast is a towering achievement." - Under the Radar
"One of the most consistent bands out there today is The National who continues to make music that inspires and moves the soul. No matter where you are, you hear a song by The National, you know you are listening to something real." - MXDWN
"'The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness' blends elements of the National's signature indie rock anthems with a shot of disco funk. A shuffling drum beat and a grimy guitar loop mix with a slow-burning blend of piano, synths and horns that rise at the end..." - Rolling Stone
"'Guilty Party' is an instant National classic; a brooding, longing love song of defeat, with a haunting melody that lingers in your head long after the song is over." - WXPN
"Like the best the band has to offer, 'Carin at the Liquor Store' is a song brimming with emotional depth." - Substream Magazine
