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."

Pfork gave Interpol s/t album a well-deserved 10.0 Best New Music as well as Best Album of 2010 since it obviously has no competition.

I thought it would be hilarious! I guess it didn't entirely follow through on that either.

R u happy that Pitchfork finally euthanized Interpol so that we don’t have to keep reading?Who is next? Broken Social Scene? Animal Collective?Is Interpol ‘over’?Does Interpol even ‘sell records 2 mainstreamers’?Is Interpol for failed cool dads?

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."
