Comments on: Best of 2005 – #1 – The National http://www.muzzleofbees.com/2005/12/27/best-of-2005-1-the-national/ Half of it's you, Half is me Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:16:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: John http://www.muzzleofbees.com/2005/12/27/best-of-2005-1-the-national/comment-page-1/#comment-1409 John Fri, 24 Feb 2006 06:49:27 +0000 http://www.muzzleofbees.com/2005/12/23/best-of-2005-1-the-national/#comment-1409 I have been waiting for a band like this for years (especially since Jets To Brazil called it quits)and I think this record along with their previous two are among my eternal faves and by far the record of the year. I may have been one of the few to not be that taken back by Sufjan Steven's new record (Not enough editing in my opinion) or the other hype albums.But the fact that this record didn't get enought mass appeal is because i guess the pubescent hipster kiddies aren't ready for this kind of substance.
