I mean I always suspected that the reception of that record was some true reactionary bullshit but I'm sure people had their reasons (i.e. Alfred, who always sort of hated them)

And I think the new song is gorgeous and basically a huge cavern in which guitars vibrate and Paul Banks talks about sex probably.
That is awesome, that is what Interpol do and still do.

they always seem funny in interviews, way more than say the strokes or whoever, constant pisstakers. so yeah the humour is intentional i'd say.
their appearance in many an end of decade poll right near the top for the first album seems to have revived a lot of interest in the band. also they seem to be handling carlos' departure well:http://i49.tinypic.com/35a22hl.jpg
hats off to em i say.

The guys lyrics are completely ridiculous to a fabulous degree and that combined with his serious- self important crooning voice make me occasionally think this band is the funniest band ever.

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.

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.'

isn't Dave Pajo in Interpol now? Is he on the album? Good move if so.
― the tune is space, Tuesday, 7 September 2010 16:48 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

― kamerad, Tuesday, 7 September 2010 17:44 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

OLTA was one of those albums that, as soon as I saw the cover art (still-life wildlife portrait???) and the track listing ("No I in Threesome"???) I was like "oooooooohhhhh shit, this album is going to blow."

Yeah the OLTA cover was a real 'oh shit' moment. Especially if you thought that the Interpol artwork /website/ merch in general around the time of 2002 was *the best* you had ever seen by a band in the modern era. Way classier and cooler than The Strokes at the time. *Man* i miss old Interpol.

Are their sensibilities so different? All I hear different about this record versus the first two is that this one has less hooks and we're all older.

incredibly depressing interview with Carlos from last October that I just heard last night. goes in depth about the making of the s/t record and how he lost his mind and left the band. apparently he decided to leave, then recorded all of his bass and keyboard parts and gave them to the engineer, and never saw the band again. so the s/t record is vastly different than what it was "supposed to be"... thank goodness, I love the first half of this record so much, "Summer Well" is as good as anything on Antics. Interpol trying to go symphonic was bad news. Carlos says their goal going into the s/t record was to "make our Kid A."
