Interpol

the new album is great. i think it might be my most favourite of theirs vocally. paul banks does the post-punk wailing so well.

this is one band that I'd love in theory, but then I listen and I'm all

barricade is such a damn good song/single.

I haven't heard the new album. I love Turn Off the Bright Lights and I enjoy Antics, but I was done at Our Love To Admire. Does this record pick up the last one's slack?

you're dead to me, wilson.

New album is a complete pile of shit, except for Lights.

I still need to digest the first three before I get into this one.

TotBL >>>>>>>>>>>>> Antics >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> OLtA = Interpol, pretty much.

Finally gave their album Turn On the Bright Lights a chance and it's p good. However, I hear more of a Chameleons influence than a Joy Division influence.

I've always thought so as well. All JD stuff is either punky or atmospheric and synth-based (with emphasis on #based) and Interpol is neither. A song like View from a Hill comes much closer to the Interpol sound.

@Scifi Saint

Take you on a cruise is their best song to date.

Also, Im glad that a band like Interol is mentioned in this forum.

TotBL > OLtA > Antics > S/T

I used to not give Bright Lights the time of day, but it is extremely good. It clicked right around the time I realised how well written Stella was. It's funny to think how good they were at polyphonic composition even at that stage in their career.

If Antics didn't have NARC and C'mere, I would never listen to it.

Yeah, it's not bad. I can't understand the love for Evil, though. I guess if you were less of an Interpol fan and didn't really have any idea of what they usually sounded like, it's okay.
