Interpol

I was really surprised to find so many less than happy with this album. I like it very much and, having been slightly bored with their last release, was pleased to fall back in love with this wonderful band.Contrary to the 'running out of ideas' line of argument that I've seen, I think this album demonstrates a developing of the band's sound beyond 'antics' and 'our love...'. Subtle, I grant you, but there has been progress!Paul sounds wistful and full of regrets which is just how we like him, I'm sure. His delivery is cold and dispassionate but I don't interpret this as 'bored'. For me, it adds weight to his confessions of bitterness and loss. Listen to the backing vocals of 'Lights': this is not a man going through the motions!He sounds in turn bitter, cynical, angry and at times downright obsessive and creepy. Good man.The album plays well, it sounds very much like interpol but with a richer sound than was evident on 'antics' and 'our love...'. It seems unfair to compare it to 'turn on the bright lights' because that was 10 years ago - it's a very different beast. It's like comparing a student party with a dinner party - I have fond memories of passing out in flower beds but I much prefer conversation over a glass of wine these days. That said, I've only given this album 4* because there's nothing that comes close to 'leif erikson'. Or 'untitled'. Or the barely contained exuberance at the start of 'Roland'. Oh, I'm such a sucker for nostalgia...

I love Interpol and everything they do, and everyone of their albums has been an instant like.This album however is differnt I listened to it for a couple of weeks none stop to try and get a feel for the music and what direction the band where taking.At first I didnt get it and would have scored the album 3 out of 5 as it still maintained that sound that is Interpol.A couple of weeks ago I stuck the album back on and bang ever song was so much better than before, each song felt more upliftiing then when I first listened to it, and I finally got the albumI cant explain why it took so long for my ear to begin to enjoy this album but finally I have.Save to say I have had seveeral debates with friends about Interpols best album, and I have argued that this is their best piece of work to date. In fact Barricade could be their best song.All I ask if you like Interpol, or are new to Interpol, give this album time and you will not be disappointed

Good CD . As a big fan of Interpol, I really like their music but this one is good but not as great as Antics. But still a nice one to have. For a more in depth review see some of the others.

I am somewhat obsessed with Interpol and unsurprisingly like the album. I do however like their previous ones slightly more. There is still a number of great songs here. Maybe with another few listens I will grow to love the album (pretty much what happened with their earlier stuff).

They said that this album was going to be like Turn On The Bright Lights, but really it sounds a lot like Our Love To admire.It's still an amazing album though, even if it's not their best. Lights is still my favourite track.

Brilliant , every song great.

... you can get really. You will grow to love this album. I promise! Go on, you know you wanna!

My girlfriend introduced me to a song of this group, which I liked, so when I saw this was the latest album of Interpol, I bought it for her. Little did I know, that I would fall in love with these songs. Excellent choice
