#20: The National - Boxer
Much like a beloved comedy in the movie industry, Boxer, has more quotes and one-liners to offer than Superbad. As if it was written by Voltaire, the level of intellect presented by frontman Matt Berninger is in a league all it's own. Few may criticize the monotony of his vocal stylings, and rightfully so. But for the most part, this album has received incredible reviews, including the prestigious honor of "Album of the Year" on Paste Magazine's 'Top 100' of 2007 countdown. I may not be as gratuitous as they are, but I still manage to observe the power of their music.
After selling virtually no albums during the first time around, the National have spawned themselves an immediate underground following with the release of Boxer. Placed in the same pile as bands like She Wants Revenge and Interpol, The National seemed to have discovered their niche. For an articulate and relaxing good time, give Boxer a whirl.
