Interpol (Official Thread)

[thesafeword]

I've started getting into these guys lately and saw that there wasn't a thread for them.

So discuss.

[Machu505]

Amazing band. I love them.

[thesafeword]

It's good stuff.

[liar23]

only listened a couple of songs

[tehdangerdave]

I only have Turn On The Bright Lights, but I love it. I'll probably pick up the others soon.

[Robototron]

First album was great, second was ok, third album was absolute garbage.

Try and find their earlier EPs if you can, their best song, "Specialist," is off one of them. Really great tune.

[thesafeword]

My favorite song is No I In Threesome. I've yet to download the EPs though.

[Robototron]

My favorite song is No I In Threesome. I've yet to download the EPs though.

IMO that's the only good song off their latest. The rest is really good for putting me to sleep at night, though.

[thesafeword]

Yeah, The Heimlich Maneuver is pretty good, but the rest is generic. The first two albums are pretty solid though.

[BJW7191]

Turn on the Bright Lights is one of my alltime fave albums

[PenThrive]

Antics is in incredible album, followed by Our Love to Admire.

I've been a fan of Interpol for years and have never been let down by a release.

Cheers for starting this thread.

[Osto]

Turn On the Bright Lights is fantastic, Antics had some great singles, and Our Love To Admire was consistent but forgettable.

[MyWorldEntire]

Listened to Turn On The Bright Lights for the first time today, and it's as good as I anticipated. Can't believe these guys only have three albums.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Turn On The Bright Lights is such a good album.

[redsoxguy676]

I just bought Turn On The Bright Lights, out of a spur of the moment kind of thing. And I am enjoying what I am hearing so far.

[oddwithoutend]

I have nothing against this band, but meh.

[redsoxguy676]

I've been hearing them a lot on sirius lately, so that got me interested in what else this band had to offer.

[deanster321]

Turn On the Bright Lights is fantastic, Antics had some great singles, and Our Love To Admire was consistent but forgettable.
I agree on all thre counts.

[3mpire]

Turn on the Bright Lights is so good. I can't rec this album enough. One of best albums of this decade, in my opinion.

The only noteworthy songs from Antics were the singles. They are pretty damn singles I've got to admit.

PDA is their best song, hands down.

[kearn1tm]

I really enjoy Joy Division.

[Osto]

Oh yeah, Interpol kinda sound like them.

[Brokenhill]

Kinda? JD is their single greatest influence.

Bump because i'm sick of seeing You Me at Six and My Chemcial Romance threads, etc.

[Forever.Zero]

I can't get into this band.

[Brokenhill]

I love 'em...they're pretty groovy.

[Kyle Huntington]

Going through their discography today for first time in a couple of months. Love them so much.

[MyWorldEntire]

Interpol set to release fourth studio album in early 2010: http://sunonthesand.net/2009/interpol-drummer-talks-new-album/

[Brokenhill]

Interesting...

I still need their 3rd album though.

[JustAGirl01]

anyone want to rank their favorite interpol albums? im curious to see who comes out on top the most

[Kyle Huntington]

Very excited about the new album and th fact that they are going back to the sound of the debut, especially with the abundance of reverb, love it.

As for order, mine goes in the order they were released:

Turn On The Bright Lights>Antics>Our Love To Admire

[Star Slight]

Currently listening to Turn On The Bright Lights for the first time in a while

I'd rank it the same as severedlegface,

TOTBL>Antics>OLTA

I need to pick up the EPs

[MyWorldEntire]

"Lights" (http://sunonthesand.com/2010/new-track-from-interpol-lights/)

[Star Slight]

Jeeze, really no love for Interpol on this site.

[MyWorldEntire]

I really like the ending to the track. Still have some hope left for this band.

[Star Slight]

Agreed, the beginning had me worried, but it really comes together at the end.
Seriously though, only 30-some posts about them? They're fucking incredible.

[IntoTheSun]

ehhh

[JustAGirl01]

Jeeze, really no love for Interpol on this site.

I love Interpol. Do I count?

[Star Slight]

I love Interpol. Do I count?

Yes, yes you do

[Kyle Huntington]

So so happy to wake up to this, can't wait to listen.

[kearn1tm]

The first album is good. The other two just meander and bore.

[dundermifflin]

the video for evil still creeps me out at times

[MyWorldEntire]

Bassist Carlos Dengler has left Interpol. (http://sunonthesand.com/2010/carlos-dengler-leaves-interpol/)

[tehdangerdave]

so bummed that he's leaving, such a good bassist. i'm a bit worried about the future for them, but they should be able to handle this and keep making great music.

[Kyle Huntington]

I hope this doesn't have a negative effect on the band so much.

[SophGod]

my friend told me to listen to their new song "Lights" today and I dig it. Will check out their other albums.

[polock]

"the subway she is a porno"

[Brokenhill]

The pavements, they are a mess...

[polock]

yesssssssssss

[Brokenhill]

"Hands Away" is still my favorite Interpol song.

[polock]

i think mine is "untitled" or "stella was a diver and she was always down", but everything on turn on the bright lights is amazing, and i don't have our love to admire

[Brokenhill]

Neither do I, I don't know when or if i'll ever get it though.

"Stella..." is my #2. So good.

[x togepi x]

i love how this band rips off joy division and kids who wish they were cool enough to be hipsters are all over the dicks for it.

[Star Slight]

I love Joy Division, does that make it okay for me to like Interpol too?

[x togepi x]

as long as you don't like she wants revenge as well.

[Star Slight]

as long as you don't like she wants revenge as well.

I dont!

[x togepi x]

haha good

[CheckeredFloors]

Also only listened to a couple of songs but will hopefully be seeing them in a few months.

Been meaning to check em out more thoroughly

[Gazer Strip]

I checked them out one day and I came to a conclusion that they are very good band. Lot of good songs.

[Brokenhill]

I just heard "Barricade" (never listened to "Lights"), but there's something about it i'm not fond of...

The vocals sound too polished or something.

[kearn1tm]

*coughIlikeSheWantsRevenge.They'rec ampyashellcough*

[lennyd44]

I like some of their songs.

[caveBEAR]

The new album is quite boring...

[jeremyfromva]

When I first saw the disturbing video for "Lights", I wasn't impressed with the song. I don't know why, but I picked up the album at Best Buy when I picked up anberlin (probably because it was 7.99)....anyways, in the context of the album, Lights is a much better song. The whole album is stellar. It has a classic interpol feel to me.

yeah it took me a few listens to fully appreciate it, but the albums definitely grown on me

[anthonydarko]

I enjoy this band.

:party:

[Asadcow]

Can only get into Turn on The Bright Lights, going to give the newest album a spin in a bit, though, see if it's a grower.

[phaynes1]

Hopefully they play Lollapalooza this year. I could see it happening.

[anthonydarko]

It's been rumored that they'll play it.
