Our Take

NATIONAL - First Two Pages Of Frankenstein

It's difficult to pin down the enigmatic NATIONAL and their latest album "First Two Pages Of Frankenstein." Is it an experimental masterpiece or just a confusing jumble of sounds? One thing's for sure, this album certainly keeps you on your toes.

From the opening track, "Electric Blue Wonderland," you are transported into a world of synth-heavy beats and cryptic lyrics. It's as if you're being led through a haunted house by a group of mischievous ghosts, never quite sure what's lurking around the corner.

The standout track, "Midnight Rendezvous with a Vampire," is a pulsating anthem that will have you tapping your toes and questioning your own mortality. NATIONAL's ability to blend dark lyrics with infectious melodies is truly a testament to their talent.

However, not every track hits the mark. "Zombie Disco Inferno" feels like a failed attempt at capturing the Halloween spirit, while "Werewolf Love Song" falls flat with its cheesy lyrics and uninspired production.

Overall, "First Two Pages Of Frankenstein" is a mixed bag of tricks and treats. NATIONAL's willingness to take risks and push the boundaries of their sound is admirable, even if it doesn't always pay off. So grab your garlic necklace and silver bullets, and give this album a spin - if you dare.
