Caveat Emptor: The National’s third LP, Alligator, remains my favorite album of the past two years. Nothing has touched it.
The National craft mood music. In the span of four albums and an EP they have created a niche of elegant and dark atmospheric rock bolstered by vocalists Matt Berninger’s languid baritone and everyman […]
