    This version is absolutely stunning, as expected, and the rainbow splatter design is executed beautifully. The album itself is fantastic, in my opinion, it's one of The National's most underappreciated and finest works. It features some of their most adventurous tracks ("Slipping Husband", "Available") and some of their most memorable slow songs ("Lucky You", "Cardinal Song"). If you're already not a fan of The National, this won't win you over, but if you're new to their music, this is a great starting point.
