Their first album, Turn On the Bright Lights, is quite awesome. I still haven't heard Antics.

i'm not a fan. they're music is just blah and they seem like a band that is part of a scene and has an image but totally uninteresting music. one of the reasons i don't listen to rock.

I've got both antics and turn on the bright ligths. turn on the bright ligths is better imo. my favourite from antics is "take you on a cruise". i like most of the songs from turn on the bright lights.

Yeah Interpol aren't really part of that gay new rock scene despite being boned by the NME. They are decent. The lead singer's a fan of Boards of Canada so they are clearly fantastic...? The first album is better although Im enjoying the new one at the moment also.

i think Antics is better than Turn on the bright lights... mainly due to amazing tracks like "Narc" and "Length Of Love"... but i love em... they are completely super rad x.

i like Turn on the Bright Lights... Antics is okay, but i don't think it's worth all the attention it's been getting... it almost seems like a lot of the indymedia is too lazy to put effort into pushing a better band who they haven't built up already or something...
i think my favourite interpol song is the opening track to Turn On the Bright Lights

I was on a tangent about new rock music. It seemed that everything was manufactured. There is hardly ever anyone ugly in bands anymore and that's not natural. Most popular music is pretty vapid now, BUT I will look over everything and believe in you when you make awesome music. Interpol are fucking great.

Do you know how massive the music industry machine is now? They realized payola wasn't good enough. Instead of paying off the station, why not just buy the station. You wanna be a pepper too?

well i just got back from the show. It was really fucking good. the sound in the place was a bit boomy. but they put on a good set. they played songs off of both albums, favoring the more recent album, antics.
it wasn't too loud so you could appreciate all the subtleties and my ears aren't ringing.
i don't know song titles but these are some of the tracks they played:
the first track off of antics with the organ
the song about the 200 couches
the song with the lyric 'turn on the bright lights'
the song that starts out "Rosemary, heaven restores you in light" or "life" or whatever.
the song with the lyric "touch your thighs you're the lonely one"
that song that's like 'we spies, we slowhands' i think it's called slowhands actually.
anyway, they were all recognizable tunes, nothing i hadn't heard and i've only listened to the two albums. a bit of improv so it was still pretty raw, not like one of those shows where it sounds just like the CD.
the bassist looks like george McFly from back to the future.
i'm a bit drunk so if this is all nonsense, me be sorry folks so fuck yourselves fuckers. this guy right here? THIS GUY! he is a great man, best guy ever, never let me down you fuckers.

I had one of those musical epiphany things with Interpol... when you listen and it just absolutely floors you completely and life seems beautiful. Only a few times its happened to me but seriously, a couple of years back, walking through the snow after school on my won with PDA on... the saddest fucking sound in the world. The 'youre so cute when you're sedated' bit has such a sad synth/guitar harmony.
Don't get the same buzz from them now obviously but they still rock. The new album is good but I don't think I'll get a feeling like I did the first time I heard them live again. Saw them for the 3rd time just before Christmas, very cool :D

The first album 'Turn on the Bright Light's is very good. I got into it recently. The singer sounds a bit like Ian Curtis (Joy Division).
They sound nothing like REM, however Antics is shit.
