A tasteful, stately affair that, at its best, resonates with the same emotional directness and honesty that we’ve come to expect from Berninger.

These moody, despondent songs became the band’s definitive record.

The recordings admirably highlight the power that the National have as a live band.

I Am Easy to Find is a long ride with some questionable sequencing choices. A handful of unnecessary moments drag the album down.

It will be interesting to see how many I’m Easy to Find songs appear years from now on later tours

I Am Easy to Find is a much-needed rejoinder to the idea that the band has rested on their laurels.

Boxer (Live in Brussels) will end up being little more than a curiosity.

The National could have played it safe and concentrated on Boxer or even written the same set night after night, but that’s not the case here.

A pretty, well-produced National album.

Five years is an eternity in the life of a record.
