...according to our Phil on 26 April 2007.

Here's a quickie from Our work experience man Alex who's been doing a fantastic job! The National. 'Mistaken for strangers' I never heard The National but now when I hear the song its very similiar to Interpol.The bands singer has a very sad voice, but it matches the song very well. 'Blank Slate' this song is very much the same as the first song, but it repeats so much, which kills the song in my opinion . Overall it's an average performance, not really bad but not really good either.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

“Like R.E.M. when they were good, The National's superficially simple songs have a real depth and resonance.” – Q Magazine.Written over the course of thirteen months at their homes in Brooklyn, NY, upcoming album ‘Boxer’ is the result of a lot of hard work and marks a new chapter in the band’s career. Mostly recorded at Tarquin Studios in Bridgeport, CT (some additional recording was done by the band and Brandon Reid in Brooklyn, NY and White Sulphur Springs, WV), it was then produced and mixed by the band and Peter Katis (Interpol, Spoon). ‘Boxer’ hits as high as ‘Alligator’ but is a different record – just another classic album from a band on top form.Preceding ‘Boxer’ comes the single ‘Mistaken For Strangers’ on 7” and CD.   Both formats are strictly limited.
