Yes, I did find this review to weak and pretty dreary. Doesn't really make much sense.... music reviews can be poor, as purely based on the reviewers opinion, but this didn't add up to me. I agree, TOTBL is the best album. You say Antics was good and a complete album... but this wasn't - you also mention that they haven't progressed as musicians.Strange, vs TOTBL , the songs couldn't be more advanced; see try it on, the undoing, lights - as good as anything they have previously done. Boring - NA

jajajaj pobre!! habla como si el fuera un maestro en la musica!! puta madre!! habla como un puto experto pero lo unico que hace es decir puras pendejadas tambien me da risa que dice que esta realmente desepcionado del ultimo disco por dios!! es uno de los mejores!!! simplemente un pendejo que no sabe saboriar la musica nimodi personas como estas se dicen llamar fans!???? shit!!!!!!!!!

[TheSpecialist33]

@saaazura Its an opinion, which is pretty much shared by most of the people who have commented. I'm a fan of interpol, and as a fan I recognize this as their weakest effort. You don't have to freak out.

I actually rather enjoyed the album. My biggest disappointment is the complete lack of Carlos' bass presence. It seems that Daniel has replaced him in the driving piece of the sound. Which makes sense, being that Carlos' departure was completely expected. That said, I really enjoyed the mixe between reverb and orchestral elements.

[TheSpecialist33]

@MrJak36 Yes, Carlos is missing big time. On of the biggest complaints for me was the last three to four songs on the album just don't flow at all. They all sound the same.

Lets just be honest buddy you really do look like a bit of a bitch! and seriously! you have no idea what your talking about.

do you shit your pants allot? cause it looks and sounds like you do!

you should really be ashamed about yourself! you really are not qualified to review Interpol... and you look fat.

[RedPyramid1000]

They should just leave Interpol as it is, Paul banks should stick with Julian Plenti... And just add daniel to julian plenti.

[fpinyol]

great review...i believe you should listen more to this complex album, but anyway you nailed several album weakness ...let's wait for their #5 release

[rospiltore]

He is right, the quality of the records has been in continuous decline since TOTBL - fact. Slow but constant decline.

If you were looking for a techno band in the first place, then why do you not like their self titled album, it sounds techny in a way =o

[SuperNoobTroll]

and this comes as a surprise?

[garlomero]

Comparto con que el disco es un poco aburrido y que sus antescesores han sido mucho mejores. El disco no tiene grandes momentos (a mi gusto) y se nota q el sonido que siempre me atrajo de la banda, está poco explotado. Se nota que los chicos estaban tristes cuando hicieron este disco, no solo por el sonido, comparto tambien con este flaco que la tapa es bastante referente al estado de animo de los musicos.

Le digo al amigo que el video es un poco largo

to me self titled is their most complete album, they've come on so much but thats just my opinion so i'm not going to have a go at you as you have as much right as me to say whats good and bad! thanks for taking the time out to do the review! I think lights and Try it on and the undoing are among the best from Interpol

[pipy05]

I like Antics the best. Then Our Love To Admire. Then Turn On The Bright Lights...I haven't even heard the new album yet. But I will say that Interpol grows on you. Most of the time you need to listen to the album a few times before you get how amazing the music is. I'm getting the album this weekend and ill decide if I like it. Nice review.

i honestly don't think carlos recorded bass on this record. i think daniel did. i think maybe carlos came up with a few ideas early on then left the band before the album was ever recorded. the musicianship from this record just isn't right to me. interpol was a rhythm section heavy band, and sam is on point here but the bass is so weak i doubt carlos had any part in doing that.
