First Two Pages of Frankenstein (LP)
The National
Amoeba Review
The National keeps getting better and better. Sure, their latest, First Two Pages of Frankenstein, is a star-studded affair, but despite the mega-watt guest appearances, it's the band's stellar songwriting that shines the brightest. The songs are urgent and unforgettable, often melancholic but with an underlying tenderness and hope. Song titles like "New Order T-Shirt" and "Your Mind Is Not Your Friend" aren't just entertaining; they tell specific, richly-detailed tales of bittersweet love and mental health battles. Featuring Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers, and Sufjan Stevens.
