Loved it, I also think there could be more about the music. Rhythm, melody and timing differences

Just what we’ve been waiting for

An incredibly image-rich and insightful commentary on arguably the National’s most classic album. Amazing to hear direct conversations with the band members and Carin along the way. This is just what we’ve been waiting for. Thanks guys - keep up the great work.
