""You made a slow disaster out of me," sings Matt Berninger on "You Were A Kindness", one of the extra tracks added to this expanded, 3-LP version of The National's 2010 album. That sense of steady erosion is a vital part of the band's range, and on 'High Violet' their peaking powers let them catch those emotional landslides in full collapse. This edition was first released six months after the original, the spiders and bees, drinks and pills that disturbed the edges of "Terrible Love", "Bloodbuzz Ohio" or "Sorrow" framed by a clutch of excellent extra tracks".
