I love the National's "Mistaken for Strangers." It's a great song with some great hooks, but something's missing. The track starts with a hollow clanging, and an off the cuff, military style drum patter erupts from nowhere. Although I love Matt Berninger and his voice works for the Joy Division esque song, he lacks emotion.
That's what makes Ian McGlynn's cover so amazing. It showcases the lyrics that are hidden behind a thumping bass and guitar riffs and brings out the true emotion of the song.

Enjoy! Hopefully I'll start having more time for the site soon.
