The National

Description:

This is the second album recorded with Bryce Dessner officially joining the band for the first time with the current five-piece lineup. The band's potential to break out from the debut album has been brought out by Peter Kaytis as co-producer, who has not only made great strides since the debut album but has also brought out the band's potential to break out in a big way from this album. The album was critically acclaimed by Pitchfork, Uncut, and other critical media, showing new aspects of the band, including "Slipping Husband," in which the now-familiar Matt Berninger suddenly rages as he exits the spiral of the chorus. As the album title suggests, Berninger's self-deprecating bitterness and the band's powerful hooks create a chemistry, and it is no exaggeration to say that the foundation of The National was laid with this important work. This reissue of the album is a 2-CD set featuring the latest remastering done at Abbey Road Studios and a bonus disc, "Cherry Tree EP," on the Japanese CD only. This product will be available for sale on Friday and will be released at the same time worldwide.
