Free Music Notes for Sad Songs for Dirty LoversFree Music Review: Not Quite ThereThe National's second CD shows a band in development. Short of the peak achieved in Alligator and Boxer (with still higher peaks to come, I hope), Songs still gives lots of value. The best cuts -- Murder Me Rachel and the final four songs -- pull all the band's strengths together, voice, lyrics, focused and direct instrumentation in both the raucous (Rachel) and introspective (Lucky You) moods that the band inhabits. Hurt humor also abounds (Trophy Wives). The two big drawbacks here: many of the songs just sort of amble off, with a last minute or so of not so interesting instrumentation. Trophy Wives has this problem. Compare it to the next cut, Fashion Coat, where conciseness at just over two minutes increases its power. The National also hadn't yet fully learned in Sad how to use drums to drive its lyric passion and desperation. By Alligator (think Abel and Lit Up), they had, big time.
