The National is the debut studio album by American indie rock band the National, released on October 30, 2001 on Brassland Records. Recorded prior to guitarist Bryce Dessner’s full arrival into the band, The National was produced by both Nick Lloyd and the band itself. Now-bass guitarist Scott Devendorf performs both guitar and backing vocals on this album, with guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Aaron Dessner on bass guitar and guitar duties.

The album features a more country-tinged sound in comparison to future albums.[citation needed] Lyrics from “29 Years” would later be used in “Slow Show” from the band’s 2007 album, Boxer.

This eighth album from The National is refreshingly different, somewhat modifying the well-oiled mechanics of this American band. First and foremost, this is achieved through the presence of several female singers who support the leader Matt Berninger on most of the tracks. The most memorable are the performances of Gail Ann Dorsey (David Bowie’s bassist) on Had Your Soul With You, as well as the particularly poignant performances of Lisa Hannigan and Mina Tindle on So Far So East and Oblivions respectively, the latter being especially moving. Why this sudden feminine presence for an exclusively male band? It’s likely because the album was conceived after filmmaker Mike Mills asked The National to put his short film I Am Easy to Find into song form – a film which happens to be centred around a woman. It’s this relationship to images that has somewhat upended the Brooklyn band’s pop formula. There are a few references to some classics of cinema, chiefly Roman Holiday by William Wyler (1953).

The National’s sophomore album, Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers (2003), found the band emerging onto a larger stage. Uncut called it “a genuine treasure” and named it an album of the year; it was hailed by Rolling Stone and the indie media; and Magnet, La Liberation (Paris), and the Chicago Tribune were only a few of the publications to tap it for their year-end lists.

Built on leftovers from the sessions for their other 2023 release, First Two Pages of Frankenstein—which featured a much-ballyhooed appearance by Taylor Swift—Laugh Track was released quietly with similar cover art, but little fanfare. It still feels good to feel bad on Laugh Track, sounding very much like an extension of its predecessor, but slightly more downbeat. “Losing my momentum, losing my mind/ Not enough to mention, not enough time/ I can’t even say what it’s about/ All I am is shreds of doubt,” vocalist Matt Berninger deadpans rather than sings in “Laugh Track” with guest Phoebe Bridgers adding little more than texture to the vocals of this dirge. Another lament about Berninger’s awkwardness, “Coat on a Hook,” opens with “Don’t leave me here at this party like a coat on a hook,” before descending into “Friendships are melting, nothing is helping/ Nothing’s worth keeping, promises cheapen.” The monotone “Tour Manager” is a throwaway, but there are moments when the band’s talents shine through, the gloom lifts and the music triumphs despite Berninger’s enveloping melancholy. The rising tempo of “Space Invader” concludes with a satisfying crash of guitars that drowns out his croaking. Rosanne Cash’s vocal presence on one verse and as Berninger’s duet partner in the choruses of “Crumble” adds character. Recorded in producer Tucker Martine’s studio in Portland, Oregon the sound is smoothly mixed with Berninger’s vocals moving up and back. Hope for the future exists in “Smoke Detector,” in which the growling guitars of brothers Aaron and Bryce Dessner continually threaten to break out, as Berninger rushes through word heavy lines, perhaps hopeful his turmoil will pass: “Sit in the backyard in my pharmacy slippers/ At least I’m not on the roof anymore/ In a year or so I hope nobody remembers/ This run of episodes of my time on the floor.” – Robert Baird

Over nine albums, The National have grown wilder in their experimentation. But the Brooklyn-by-way-of-Cincinnati band proves on First Two Pages of Frankenstein that almost no one else does Midwest desolation this well—still. It’s there in the plaintive but sweetly hopeful piano line that carries “Once Upon a Poolside” and underscores Matt Berninger’s troubled lines: “I can’t keep talking/ I can’t stop shaking/ I can’t keep track of everything I’m taking.” (Bonus points for bringing in fellow Midwestern native Sufjan Stevens for ethereal backing vocals.) There’s a spareness, too, in the excellent “Eucalyptus,” which poses questions about who walks away with what when a relationship ends: ceiling fans, rainbow eucalyptus, ornaments …”What about the undeveloped cameras?/ Maybe we should bury those … What about the Cowboy Junkies?/ What about the Afghan Whigs?” And yet the song takes on an early-U2 level of drama with a build of moody, striking guitar and tumbling drums. “Tropic Morning News,” meanwhile, surprises in a different way: Starting with a perfectly chilled Joy Division beat, the guitars spring to life and the bridge takes off and up. This is the song that is said to have saved the record, after Berninger was in a dry spell. It was, he has said, “the first time it ever felt like maybe things really had come to an end” for the band. But, with his wife Carin Besser’s help on the words, he pulled through—a feeling that seems to be reflected in the lyrics: “I was so distracted then/ I didn’t have it straight in my head/ I didn’t have my face on yet, or the role, or the feel/ Of where I was going with it all … There’s nothing stopping me now/ From saying all the painful parts out loud.” Much has been made of the band’s collaboration with Taylor Swift, “The Alcott,” and for good reason. As a producer, National guitarist and songwriter Aaron Dessner knows how to pull a genuine maturity out of Swift. Here she holds her own against Berninger’s deep masculinity and the beating heart of percussion. Unlike with other guests on … Frankenstein, this is a proper duet, and a pretty perfect addition to the Swift oeuvre, as she delivers lines like “Shred my evening gown/ Read my sentence out loud/ Because I brought this curse on our house.” Phoebe Bridgers, meanwhile, shows up on “This Isn’t Helping” and “Your Mind Is Not Your Friend,” but her harmonies are more like a spoonful of sugar atop Berninger’s roughness, rather than an equal match.The record ends with “Send for Me” and Berninger promising to answer any SOS: “If you’re ever sitting at the airport/ And you don’t want to leave … If you’re ever at a glass-top table, selling your ideas/ To swivel-chair underlings who just don’t get it … Send for me/ Whenever, where ever/ Send for me/ I’ll come and get ya.” In other words: They’re not done yet. – Shelly Ridenour
