Product description

The National's seventh studio album, Sleep Well Beast, is a masterfully crafted record that showcases the band's ability to create expansive and moody soundscapes. Released on 8 September 2017 via 4AD, this 12-track album is a testament to the band's growth and experimentation, marking a new chapter in their discography.

With a duration of 57 minutes, Sleep Well Beast takes the listener on a journey through a range of emotions, from the heartwarming and touching to the bitter and venomous. The album's tracklist, which includes standout tracks like "The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness", "Guilty Party", and "Carin at the Liquor Store", demonstrates the band's skill in crafting songs that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.

Produced by Aaron Dessner, Sleep Well Beast features a more chaotic and experimental sound than The National's previous works, incorporating synths and other uncharacteristic elements to create a sense of tension and unease. This newfound sonic complexity adds depth and nuance to the band's signature indie rock sound, making for a truly immersive listening experience.

Throughout the album, lead singer Matt Berninger's distinctive vocals bring a sense of intimacy and vulnerability, drawing the listener into the band's world of melancholic introspection and poetic storytelling. With Sleep Well Beast, The National have created an album that is both a natural progression of their sound and a bold step into new territory, cementing their reputation as one of the most innovative and compelling indie rock bands of their generation.

This 2023 Reissue 2LP set is pressed on Clear vinyl.

    Great pressing. Found no noise or distortion.. if there's any, just swap for a new one

  • Near-Perfect Album, One Weak Track

    4 out of 5 stars
    UpsakiKuqqxMay 4, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This album deserves a 5-star rating, except for the track "Turtleneck." Whenever that song plays, it feels like the album's flow gets disrupted. It reminds me of a Midwest bar band, honestly. Apart from that, it's a fantastic album, though it doesn't quite match up to "Trouble Will Find Me." As for the pressing, it's FAIR. Mostly clean, but when there's surface noise, it's noticeable.

  • Blue Vinyl EU Edition Review

    4 out of 5 stars
    nven0afohedfaunApril 22, 2025United Kingdom🇬🇧

    Just completed my first listen of the Blue vinyl EU edition. It's not mind-blowing, but it's a decent pressing. I always give my records a clean before playing them (vinyl revival), there's a touch of surface noise on the run-ins, but apart from that, it's clean. I've got the yellow vinyl version of Boxer, and the quality is pretty much the same, maybe even a tad better. No warping, perfectly centered. The packaging is good... although it would've been nice to have poly-lined sleeves. As for the music... side B with the single on it really stood out after the first spin... definitely a grower.
