Better Oblivion Community Center - Better Oblivion Community Center. Off the back the Boygenius album. Always been a fan of Conor Oberst/Bright Eyes but totally unaware this existed.
I've been recommended The National by a few friends (usually as a response to my saying that I love Arcade Fire) and have listened to them a bit over the years but never really got into them. This thread has prompted me to resolve to try again with the latest 2 albums.

Sorry if it came out as a dig, I mean that they are very similar in the sense that they are in the same genre of music, sound incredibly similar to me, and I understand why lots of people like them.
