Interpol - Interpol

as the starter of this thread, I grant you permission to start posting Lil B YouTubes itt if it'd make you feel better about existence

The drummer has aged so much he looks like my dentist. The guitarist is still kinda cute.

Dave should have reminded these guys that there's no need to wear sunglasses indoors.

this has leaked, thoughts?

Not sure how that Lil B song is less boring than "Barricade," but it's less disgusting than the "Lights" video. Haven't heard anything as good as "Mammoth" or the best songs off the debut.

this is out tomorrow & will be panned by P4k in mere hours. keep an eye on this space for continuing coverage of this important event in indie rock history

rong. anticipation is building. matador shipped more than two hundred copies of this disc to record stores nationwide, to meet the heavy demand.

There's no "I" in threesome.

haha.

ok, the reviews seem to be coming in -- not sure if this person's actually heard the record or is just excited for it, but:

new interpol = yay! 35 minutes ago via web

the single that got reviewed on TSJ really was atrocious. it's like interpol thought 'hmm what was the one thing that made us listenable - oh right the hooks. well let's get rid of that too.'

its getting a bit of kicking in The Other Place

the ass?

I actually kinda like this one!

my guess . . . 6.3

The weakest Interpol-album so far, but I still like this band, a 6,5 should be reasonable

didnt know carlos d had left the band

this is out tomorrow & will be panned by P4k in mere hours

you will not get your precious 6.3 p4k review today, markerskshkingshighway.

7.2 it shall be, forevermore.

album is a complete fucking mess, so i'mma guess five point something.

you will not get your precious 6.3 p4k review today, markerskshkingshighway.

Brand New You're Retro

I can never remember if it's Editors or Interpol who are supposedly the good ones.

the latter. no one cares about Editors

editors are interpol knockoffs.

isn't Dave Pajo in Interpol now? Is he on the album? Good move if so.

skimming Wikipedia . . .

Carlos D. played bass on the record:

It was announced that Interpol's fourth album will be self-titled and will be released sometime in mid-September.[14] It will be bassist Carlos D.'s last effort with Interpol.

On Pajo:

In early June 2010, the musicians who will play with Interpol on live dates were announced to be David Pajo (formerly of Slint and many other bands) on bass and Brandon Curtis of The Secret Machines on keyboards and vocals.

pajo is hella wicked

good review in dusted

surprising

The album art for their first two records was appropriate and functional, but art for the past two records seriously veers into some smh territory.

To be fair, the last two have had some gems. I wish more of their recent output would mimic the closing tracks on the new one, and a handful from the one before. All of the good qualities of post-Antics Interpol and what few there are of Banks' (or Julian Plenti, whatever the hell he wants to be called) solo material.

Pace is the trick.

LOL did people actually check out that Julian Plenti/Paul Banks album???

A little embarrassed, but, yes, I did. Had to check it out when I heard Matador was back in the picture. There're a couple of good ones on it, if you can imagine.

was way better than Our Love To Admire, but nowhere near as good as the first two Interpol records

<3 Alfred's ongoing trolling of Interpol

My pleasure!

I actually really like this one, which is more than I can really say for Antics or the last one. Personally, I'd rate them about like this:

Turn On the Bright Lights - 9.3 (still one of my favorite albums of last decade, questionable lyrics and all)
Antics - 7.2 (was a huge disappointment at the time, but it has grown on me a bit)
Our Love to Admire - 6.8 (this never really clicked with me at all)
Interpol - 8.0ish (still early goings, don't see it really climbing a whole lot higher though)

haaaa

Silly me for wanting to actually discuss the music instead of postingquoting "funny" zings.

Although, tbh, that line in question is almost always lol-worthy.

d00d, I actually really like the first two Interpol records! there was a period from, like, fall 2008 to the beginning of 2009 where that's what I listened to the most

then I listened to Our Love To Admire, didn't like it -- did like the Banks solo record, but it doesn't touch either of the first two Interpol LPs. looks like this one isn't gonna be that great, but we'll see

I think there's a certain downhill trend:

Turn On the Bright Lights - 9,0
Antics - 8,4 (definitely a grower, but after it clicked it's magical)
Our Love to Admire - 7,7 (a few standout tracks and sometimes a bit dull, but still great)
Interpol - 7,0 - (first half is more than promising, second half is pedestrian, expect the great closing track)

really really dug both their first two albums as well. and I love their lyrics.

can't understand how even fans didn't hear that they were a one-album band.

My ratings:

Interpol EP - 8.2
Turn On the Bright Lights - 9.6
The Black EP - 7.5
Antics - 4.9
Our Love to Admire - 2.3
Interpol - ???
