Re: interpol

Have you heard the new album yet? The first 3 songs are great, the rest doesn't seem so good... took a while to get into the last one properly though...

Re: interpol

stick with it...it's not as good as '...bright lights', but that was an unrealistic aspiration. Antics really gets under your skin after a couple of weeks. I think it'll be written off by critics on its official release but there's lots of good songs.

Re: interpol

All Interpol fans should download 'In Shreds' by The Chameleons.

Re: interpol

In Shreds is a great song, but i don't see any interpol comparison at all. It's more or less early shoegaze stuff, reccomend to fans of Ride et al, and fans of post-punk; Wire, Magazine, XTC and so on.

Interpol manage to condese Joy Division 'Closer', Echo And The Bunnymen 'Ocean Rain' and The Cure 'Faith' into a whole career.

Was nice the first time around but this 2nd album is disappointing.

Re: interpol

Shoegaze? Hmmm. Sounds like the angrier Interpol stuff to me. And what are Interpol if not post-punk? Albeit in a radio friendly manner.

Re: interpol

I'm starting to like the album more. The first 4 tracks are pretty incredible, especially evil & narc (which are every bit as good as PDA). The rest are plainly not as good but carried off with a lot of class.

Re: interpol

Does anyone else think that track 2 from the new album sounds a little bit like Smashmouth? You know, that shite "Walking On The Sun" song.

Antics is extremely disappointing.

Re: interpol

Because we know people who know people. Or we ARE people. But don't worry, you're not missing too much.

Re: interpol

or you ripped it off a file sharing service...
I always said their first album was great, but another one might be a bit much - sounds like i was right unfortunately. Ah, sods, I'll buy it anyway.

Re: interpol

I dunno maybe i'm being a bit harsh. It has its moments... it's not a BAD record as such... i just prefer Interpol when they're a bit darker and moodier. And my smashmouth comment still stands.

Re: interpol

the smash mouth thing is nonsense.

'antics' does have it's moments, and when it does they are pretty spectacularly good...

...but they are fewer than on '...bright lights'.

i think seeing the new songs performed live may improve them... perhaps not liking them instantly but growing to like them over time will mean the album has a longer lifespan.

we will see.

Re: interpol

It's not nonsense! Seriously, a friend pointed it out to me and at first i couldn't hear it... but then i listened again the other day and it was just there. It's the way he sings in the verses.
