I think The National is one of those bands you either connect with or you don't. While I may not always relate to Matt Berninger's lyrics directly, I love how he explores the complexities of life, love, and loss. If I had to choose a favorite album, it would be High Violet. I once upon a time moved and lived in Ohio and had just bought this album (2010). It resonated with me. My top songs are 'Bloodbuzz Ohio', Conversations 16, 'Sorrow', and 'Anyone's Ghost' - in that order.
