Even after the quality of Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers anyone would be hard pressed to see this coming. "Come over here, I wanna kiss your skinny throat" Berninger sings in Wasp Nest to the pernicious lover who is irresistible all the same.
'All The Wine' is where it becomes apparant that this ain't the same ol' National. There's enough room in this tune for more than one pile of Trump Towers, and Berninger is more than able to fill it: "So tall I take over the street... I'm a festival, I'm a parade." A statement of intent if ever there was one. Don't doubt it. As he tells us even the motorcades have to go around him, and hey, God is on his side. Big, brilliant, beautiful.
The quiet menace that is 'All Dolled Up in Straps' is downright scary. The title song evokes much the same feeling. Some things are better left unsaid and the lines "no one is asking so leave it alone... Can we show a little discipline?" is the furthest thing from the plea it might sound like. More a stern admonition.
Which brings us to 'About Today.' I thought this was one of the most promising American bands until I heard this and then I knew. Listening I kept thinking 'They can't be this good. Nobody's this good.' A relationship teeters on the edge of a day. "How close am I to losing you?" Berninger asks, probably to himself. Startling spare music plays behind as the words finally come out, "Can I ask you about today?" It's impossible to put into words the desperation, resignation, and beauty that this line conveys. No wonder they finish their shows with this song: they can't do any better. Very few can.
I don't really know why they put a live version of the fine 'Murder Me Rachel' from Sad Songs on this. Totally unnecessary. The EP was perfect and while this doesn't take anything away, it certainly adds nothing. You want to ask them, "Didn't you hear the first 5 songs?" And 'A Reasonable Man' well, we love you Padma, but this doesn't belong here.
Easily the best thing released in 2004. You'll agree as you start the cd over (and over) after song five.
