Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.

  • Alligator Rocks Loud

    4 out of 5 stars
    Vanessa FordDecember 31, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Got this one used, it sounds awesome! No problems with pops or scratches like some folks mentioned. I hadn't heard anything past Boxer, but Alligator is fantastic and I can't wait to play it again.

  • Enjoyable Debut Album

    5 out of 5 stars
    Todd WarrenDecember 2, 2025United States🇺🇸

    It's strange to come across so many negative reviews. My copy is of excellent quality. Beggars Banquet has a solid reputation, so it's surprising to see such harsh feedback. As for the album, it's the only National record I enjoy. They became a bit too intense, a bit too gloomy after this. Alligator is entertaining, amusing, heartbreaking, and peculiar. I thought I'd discovered my new favorite band, but Boxer disappointed me—and it's been downhill from there.

  • Decent Pressing, Minor Flaws

    5 out of 5 stars
    Pamela LongNovember 12, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This pressing is quite good, with a few clicks popping up now & then, but they're not overly bothersome. I'd say Boxer's sound quality is a bit better though. Still, this is definitely a great pressing, no question about it!

  • Solid Pressing, Clear Sound

    5 out of 5 stars
    Penelope WaltonNovember 11, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Fantastic record, sounds incredibly clear, and mine has hardly any skips or noise. Super solid pressing, looks amazing as well.

  • National Live Impressive

    5 out of 5 stars
    Bella LombardoAugust 9, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I picked up this CD directly from The National after catching their live performance at the Houston House of Blues way back in October 2010. The concert was amazing, though I guess that's to be expected.

Product description

This LP was released in 2017.

The National's third studio album, Alligator, is a masterclass in melancholic indie-rock. Released on 11 April 2005 via Beggars Banquet, this critically acclaimed record catapulted the American indie rock band to newfound heights, significantly expanding their fanbase and garnering widespread critical acclaim. The album's 13 tracks, including 'Secret Meeting', 'Karen', and 'Mr. November', showcase the band's unique ability to blend American anxiety with European elegance, resulting in a sound that is both poignant and powerful.

Produced by Peter Katis and Paul Mahajan, Alligator is a testament to The National's skill in crafting songs that are both introspective and infectious. With a duration of 48 minutes, the album takes the listener on a journey through a range of emotions, from the soaring highs of 'Lit Up' to the haunting lows of 'Daughters of the Soho Riots'. The National's distinctive sound, which blends elements of post-punk revival and indie rock, has been widely praised, with many considering Alligator to be one of the best albums of 2005.

The album's impact was evident in its appearance on numerous year-end top 10 lists, including those of Uncut and Planet Sound, with the latter ranking it as the number two album of the year. With its timeless sound and enduring appeal, Alligator remains a must-listen for fans of The National and indie rock enthusiasts alike.
