{"product_id":"the-national-rome-cd","title":"The National – Rome (2-CD)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaptured at Rome's Auditorium Parco della Musica in the summer of 2024, this document arrives at a moment when The National have spent nearly a quarter century building one of indie rock's most devoted live followings. Matt Berninger's baritone and the Dessner and Devendorf brothers' interlocking arrangements have always rewarded the patient listener, and a no-overdubs live setting strips every arrangement down to exactly what the band has earned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e“You have to see them in concert,” is what fans of The National have been preaching for years. “The songs transform. It’s a whole other level.” Recorded live (without overdubs) in June 2024 at an architecturally stunning venue named for famed Italian film composer Ennio Morricone, Rome is the definitive live document of The National. The 21-track double album is truly career spanning, and showcases scintillating versions of beloved songs like “Bloodbuzz Ohio,” “Don’t Swallow the Cap,” “I Need My Girl,” “The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness,” “England” and “Fake Empire”; plus sharpened readings of recent tracks “Eucalyptus,” “New Order T-Shirt,” “Tropic Morning News” and the boundary-pushing “Smoke Detector.” The National’s setlist changes significantly show to show, revisiting their 25-year catalog to cast fresh light on hidden gems. For Rome that includes the show opener “Runaway,” “Lemonworld,” “The Geese of Beverly Road,” “Lit Up” and a tour de force pairing of “Humiliation” from their critically acclaimed album Trouble Will Find Me into Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers’ “Murder Me Rachael.” The Rome encore features the election anthem “Mr. November,” and, from High Violet, “Terrible Love” and the show-closing fan singalong, “Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks.” The live album was mixed by the band’s longtime collaborator Peter Katis. Reviewing a National performance this summer, NME wrote that “every song is played like it could be the last.” Rome captures that playing-for-keeps urgency on record and serves not merely as a concert souvenir but the latest vital addition to the band’s peerless catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDisc 1\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Runaway (5:48)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Eucalyptus (4:17)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Tropic Morning News (5:28)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. New Order T-Shirt (4:48)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Don't Swallow The Cap (4:34)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Bloodbuzz Ohio (5:04)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. The System Only Dreams In Total Darkness (4:08)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. I Need My Girl (4:08)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Lemonworld (3:36)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10. The Geese Of Beverly Road (4:38)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11. Lit Up (3:18)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDisc 2\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Alien (4:42)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Humiliation (4:55)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Murder Me Rachael (3:56)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. England (5:19)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Graceless (4:43)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Fake Empire (3:28)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Smoke Detector (6:50)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Mr November (4:18)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Terrible Love (5:15)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10. Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks (4:58)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 191400080126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4ad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.13.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48802340569243,"sku":"366286","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/The-National-Rome-CD.jpg?v=1781872068","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/the-national-rome-cd","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
