Toxic1 Posted May 5, 2007 Author Posted May 5, 2007 Their lyrics are pretty good,especially in the second song Cool. Here's a couple of others from Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers: The National - Cardinal Song never look her in the eyes never tell the truth if she knows your paper you know she'll have to burn you never tell the one you want that you do save it for the deathbed when you know you kept her wanting you and do everything she'd never do fall asleep with stranger's wives the wild wives of unknown men good for you, you've just become just another one of them never say you miss her never say a word and do everything she'd never do don't let her see your cardinal eyes don't let her see your cardinal eyes let her treat you like a criminal so you can treat her like a priest girls forgive my human mind girls forgive me one more time never tell the one you love that you do save it for the deathbed and do everything she'd never do don't let her see your cardinal eyes don't let her see your cardinal eyes jesus christ you have confused me cornered, wasted, blessed and used me forgive me girls i am confused stiff and pissed and lost and loose jesus christ you have confused me cornered, wasted, blessed and used me forgive me girls i am confused stiff and pissed and lost and loose ****** The National - Slipping Husband sit down dear we gotta talk your acting like a kid we don't wanna hear about the things you never did you coulda been a legend but you became a father that's what you are today that's what you are today spending all your time somewhere inside your head haunted by the important life you coulda lead but your kisses aren't enough to keep your kids in line so you better straighten out yourself and give your baby time cause if you don't give her what she needs she'll get it where she can she's lonely man Don't leave yourself alone for too many days Sooner than you know your gonna start slipping you'll end up talking to the ghost of your wife as if you knew her your eyes will put her everywhere and spending all your time somewhere inside your head haunted by the important life you coulda lead you'll fuck yourself to clear your head you'll close your door and go to bed you'll try to sleep without a dream that's where she finds you that's where she finds you Don't leave yourself alone for too many days Sooner than you know your gonna start slipping Dear we better get a drink in you before you start to bore us Dear we better get a drink in you before you start to bore us Dear we better get a drink in you before you start to bore us Quote

Toxic1 Posted May 6, 2007 Author Posted May 6, 2007 Glad you guys are diggin it already........ Because back when I first heard them it took a little time for me to truly love their stuff. Like I said, The National is a band that grows and grows on you with each listen. It's the painstaking little details in their songs that reel you in. Here is the "Mistaken For Strangers" single from Boxer with two b-sides: http://rapidshare.com/files/29822735/Mistaken_For_Strangers__Single_.zip.html Quote
o0SugaxNxSpice0o Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 I really need to listen to some new music when I get a chance. But I'm currently bumming Saosin atm. I'm petty sure they're american. My gosh, that vocal range is amazing, and you can't not like a band when they did a great acoustic cover of Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper hehe. They sound better live as well.

Toxic1 Posted May 21, 2007 Author Posted May 21, 2007 Popmatters is calling The National's "Boxer" early candidate for album of the year: http://www.popmatters.com/pm/music/reviews/33095/the-national-boxer/ Gotta love how pitchfork admits and owns up to "missing the boat" on 2005's Alligator multiple times. Seems like they are extremely regretting the fact they didn't "break them open" to the world. And it's almost like they still don't get 'em though. Classified under Best New Music: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/43053-boxer Quote
Toxic1 Posted May 22, 2007 Author Posted May 22, 2007 Boxer is doing its thing on Metacritic. Taking out the competition. As it should....... http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/national/boxer Quote
Stenners Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 It's drawing with Battles, I have to agree Boxer is a magnificant piece of work! Battles is the band I been tooting n thats doing the business too! Despite being a wacky lot Quote Delete my account, the is no reason why it should be against standard procediure, do it do it do it. Or LPF Sessions 3 leaks before it's done and Spoilers will be posted for every film release. Not to mention periodic troll invasions.
azemkamikaze03 Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 What does older metallica have anything to do with "The best American band CURRENTLY is......."?!?!? its still metallica, they still perform that music. Quote ¿whysoserious?
