What band will be the first to be referred to as Interpolish?

Sounds like something you use on your car.

(Or something you'd use to get from Warsaw to Krakow.)

Can someone please post something about this band that isn't actually about their own record collection??
I tried writing a review of the album without mentioning any other artists- it's probably pretty bad, but here goes: perma link to it (if that doesn't work, scroll down).

Anyway, I'm still pretty happy with the album- NYC is a *great* song.

three weeks pass...

I finally heard it. And yeah, the Kitchens Of Distinction comparisons are spot on. I can't get excited about this record at all. It's like the homogenization of all these hip 80s bands. I'd rather listen to the original bands.. or the Doves for that matter.

I'm starting to wonder whether I should never hear it and just imagine what it sounds like. It can be the bastard child of Durutti Column and the Comsat Angels when I'm in a good mood and Zerra X outtakes when I'm in a bad one.

I reckon Mark Edwards should sue for royalties.

I don't know about the Mark Edwards comparison. Certain the first track off My Dad Is Dead's "Peace, Love, and Murder" comes to mind, but I think there was something brutally honest in MDID stuff that just isn't in Interpol...

Actually you're all wrong: they sound like The Velvet Underground!!!

five years pass...

still stands up.

First album, yes. Anything that came afterwards is poop.

― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 08:34 (sixteen years ago) link

I like the other two albums too, but this is their best, no question.

― zeus, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 09:53 (sixteen years ago) link

the fukd id ep is their pinnacle

― electricsound, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 11:28 (sixteen years ago) link

Not so long ago I listened to this album for the first time in, what, three or four years? Shocked at how much is still ***LOVE*** it.

nine years pass...

Paul's delivery at :52
