Free Music Notes for The National
Free Music Review: I love this CD.
Hit: 5 Stars
For various work-related reasons, people are always giving me their CDs to listen to. A coworker bugged me for months to listen to this CD, but it wasn't until I put it in my car's rotation that I had time to listen to it. That was last week, and I've been listening to it almost constantly ever since. I love the resonance of his voice, the lyrics are fresh and intelligent, the songs are all listenable and just fantastic. I can't say enough good about it.Free Music Review: If you are between the age of 18 and 38, buy this album.
Hit: 5 Stars
I could listen to this album every day. It's that good. This is coming from a guy who had to fill his 400 CD random player to keep things interesting. I won't analyze The National's album. I wouldn't want to taint your perception.
Free Music Review: Not their best, still really good
Hit: 4 Stars
I already have Alligator, Boxer, and Sad Songs, And this is yet another great addition. I haven't had it very long yet, so some songs are still growing on me, typical of The National. Anyways, Beautiful Head and American Mary are the best songs on here. 29 Years is really good too, Berringer reprised it at the end of "Slow Show" on Boxer. Aside from that, the other songs are good, but not their best. This is a good debut album, and Beautiful Head and American Mary are in my top "The National" Songs. As I've said in other reviews, if you're new to The National, get Alligator, and let it grow on you.Free Music Review: It's a keeper
Hit: 4 Stars
On the strength of one song, "Son", I bought this CD. Since then, I've replayed that one along with "John's Stars" and "Pay for Me" a hundred times. Overall, the songs are polished but still show enough scratches and dents to have an interesting finish, moody but not morose. I did sometimes wish Matt Berninger would have ripped a Tom Waits howls now and then...some of the songs just begged for it. In the end, though, I'd recommend this CD to my favorite friends.Free Music Review: This one is totally worth picking up
Hit: 4 Stars
My favorite National record is still the latest one (Boxer) but this record has more than a handful of classic National songs.
Anyone who is a fan of the band had best give this record the time it deserves.
