Citar:Like R.E.M., whose ongoing existence became its own kind of raison d’être as they aged, the National offer testimony to something we don’t often celebrate: Enduring is a superpower of its own. The fact that no one can talk about the National without invoking their dependability might feel a bit unfair to them, or at least a bit tired. And yet, there’s a reason it remains such a dominating lens through which to examine them. Consistency is not boring. Consistency is a miracle, a small act of defiance against entropy. Berninger has compared the band to a marriage, as all band members do, but their music feels particularly devoted to the quotidian nature of lifelong unions, the way that your success is measured in time, how each year together turns your commitment into its own kind of monument. There’s a reason anniversary cards say things like “All these years later, I still love you.” It’s because the miracle isn’t in the “love,” it’s in the “still.”

Citação tirada da review da Pitchfork ao novo disco dos The National, "Sleep Well Beast" que achei tão accurate como bonita. Matt Berninger e companhia são mesmo uma das poucas bandas que se mantém consistentemente boa ao longo dos anos. E gostei mais deste disco do que estava à espera, o que tem sido raro nos últimos tempos.
