Going to see these guys in March!

If I get even the slightest whiff of Matt's masculine scent, major swooning will follow.

Also, I'd highly recommend Boxer for the first required listening regarding the whole tier thing.

I go through phases of thinking I don't love Boxer as much as I used to, but at the first moment I feel lonely I rush to listen to it and it reasserts its greatness.

i feel like sad songs for dirty lovers should be bolded

Yeah maybe.

Also, Alligator's the best.

It might just be. I wouldn't orange bold it, though. Sad Songs for DL is okay but I wouldn't call it required listening. I'm not sure how they went from their debut to this this amazing 3 album run they're on. I'm glad they reworked 29 Years, though.

High Violet is up there too but it feels like it's too consistent with their other work. They really need to spice some things up on their next record. I mean, I'd be thrilled if it was on High Violets level but it needs something different to make it great.

High Violet should only be a black bold, if it is bolded at all. Give it some time.

I kind of feel this way too, but I figured I would leave it to The Uber-National fans to decide.

Definitely just black bold for High Violet.
