Bleachers

"Put the new Bleachers record on for a friend and they might be floored: Do the National have another record out? ... Approaching his 40s at the pinnacle of his profession, the Jersey-boy underdog scrappiness that fueled him may be in shorter supply. But he's got a deep bench of collaborators, a goldmine of capital, and an emotional breakthrough to explore. All that could make for one hell of a party".

"['Bleachers'] er velproduceret og mere sammenhængende end Bleachers' forrige plade ... Men det er også klart, at forventningerne til Antonoffs arbejde er skyhøje. Med flere markante album og samarbejder i ryggen (...) forventer jeg bare mere af denne plade, end jeg får ... Flere af pladens sange bliver repetitive og forudsigelige".

"'Bleachers' is the collective's most quintessentially "them" release yet. It evolves into new territory, of course, but is equally deeply connected to past releases - a by-product of spending a decade honing their dynamic and sound".
