Our Love To Admire (CD)
"Interpol doesn't stray far from the formula that helped its first two Matador albums sell more than 1 million copies combined on the new Our Love To Admire, due July 10 via Capitol. First single 'The Heinrich Maneuver' is a peppy kiss-off to an ex-love now residing on the opposite coast. The band is on familiar footing with tracks like the tense 'No I in Threesome'('Maybe it's time we give something new a try,' frontman Paul Banks sings) and the relentless 'Mammoth', which are loaded with Daniel Kessler's simple, repeated guitar riffs and Carlos D's powerful bass underpinnings. There are some new sonic experiments; the album begins with the funereal, nearly six-minute 'Pioneer to the Falls', featuring Jim Morrison-esque crooning from Banks, and wraps with another unusually ambient piece, 'The Lighthouse'. Hints of soul creep in on the spaced-out 'Rest My Chemistry' ("I've slept for two days / I've bathed in nothing but sweat," Banks sings) and 'Pace Is the Trick'." - Billboard

| Interpol has turned out another masterpiece, this time putting out an album that actually outshines "Turn On the Bright Lights" Not that by any stretch "Antics" was a bad album, it was indeed one of the best albums of it's year, which is no small feat. with new moody neo-new wave bands popping up in Brooklyn everyday-it's refreshing to hear something this good. Let this be an example (to every joy division fan with an artsy haircut and wardrobe of black) of how it should be done. | |
