Our Take

The National's latest offering, "The First Two Pages of Frankenstein," is a curious and intriguing exploration of horror themes and existential dread. Throughout the album, the band weaves together haunting melodies and introspective lyrics that paint a vivid picture of a world on the brink of collapse. Lead singer Matt Berninger's distinctive baritone voice shines on tracks like "Monster in My Closet" and "Igor's Lament," drawing listeners in with his emotive delivery and thought-provoking storytelling. The band's signature blend of indie rock and post-punk influences is on full display here, creating a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new. One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Creature's Soliloquy," a sprawling epic that showcases The National's ability to build tension and atmosphere through dynamic instrumentation and powerful vocals. The song's dramatic climax is sure to send shivers down your spine and leave you craving more. Overall, "The First Two Pages of Frankenstein" is a bold and ambitious effort from The National, solidifying their status as one of the most innovative and exciting bands in the indie music scene. With its haunting melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression on fans old and new.
