 Our Love to Admire August 18, 2008
C Wahlman (Merrillville, IN)
I became interested in Interpol when I heard Evil on the radio ... and I became hooked. I bought Antics and loved it, so when this album came out, I bought it instantly.
I do not know too much about music. I tend to like a song and then buy the cd (which seems to happen very rarely). I like the dark, yet humorous sound of this album. It is one of the few cds I can listen to repeatedly without ever tiring of it. The first 3 songs are my favorite, but Wrecking Ball and The Lighthouse are a great way to end the cd. It is an interesting sound with thoughtful lyrics, yet a little dark. And that is exactly what I want.
Interpol has never disappointed me ... and I doubt they ever will. Highly reccomend.
Cold charm for the masses August 14, 2008

A band with a cool attitude and a distinctive dark side , Interpol have three albums already under their belts and a loyal fanbase which follows them everywhere . Their merits as a group include a strong song-writting in which every guitar strike seems to have been destined to count and ofcourse frontman Paul Bank , a guy sounds like Satan singing about sensitivities.
Not so long ago , there was a moment where Interpol were a must according to every decent music magazine out there ...and rightly so . I have yet to buy an album as complete and powerful as their 2004 offering " Antics ". Their latest release " Our Love To Admire " has more in common with the muscular rock of that album than the quiet doom of their debut " Turn on the bright lights " . Undeniably , this doesn't see them exploring new ground but still , once again , there are many great tunes to cherish like first cd-single " The Heinrich Maneuver " , " No I In A Threesome " and ( my personal favourite ) " Pace Is The Trick " .
Now , the hype surrounding this one might be substancially less than before but this is just how the industry works . Every couple of years a set of bands wins praise and press attention . They are the future of rock music , the new messiahs of pop and rock ...until their next release when they will be denied by everyone who embraced them in the first place , for no particular reason . In 2001 it was the Strokes , in 2003 the White Stripes and in 2004 it was Coldplay ( curiously enough with the worst of their four offerings ) who were gonna save modern music from it's decay . Then again , does rock need to be saved ? It this a competition of some sort ? The answer is NO . With that in mind , Interpol can still write first-class rock and this should be more than enough for everyone who likes good music .
They did it again! August 13, 2008

They did it again, those fabulous men of Interpol!
I could not resist on not owning this album, they are one of my favorite indie male bands.......Love it!
holding down the fort, and then some August 4, 2008

they're into it. there are subtleties here that can't be faked. besides the obvious minor key drone synchopated influences, fans of this may also like less known acts such as the german shepherds, minimal man, rick kaley and the menacing mutants, friction, cat party, lost sounds, and new collapse.

Come on haters. Lay off. Interpol is one of those bands that you either LOVE or you Hate/Listen to casually but diss every once and awhile.I love every Interpol album, how could you not? It seems like they design songs with one thing in mind: how good the song will sound. This may be an obvious goal when writing music, but how come so many "indie" bands have songs that don't have epic build ups/catchy hooks/mysteroius yet emotional lyrics/ and a bassist with a moustache? Seroiusly, this album rules! First song..amazing..gotta love when Sam goes crazy on those ?two? snare drums. No I In Threesome does this thing with the guitars and bass that makes it seem like you are in a cave of amazing emotional sound..complete with incredible echoes from carlos's bass, the lyrics always make me smile too. The Scale is so awesome, its super slow for Interpol yet super powerful. I love the way the guiats sound...i'm guessing its Paul who is doing those sparse chords while Dan is shredding it up with that sick riff. The drumming on The Scale is awesome..so are the lyrics. Interpol makes really empowering music, their music and lyrics work together to make you feel like you are experiencing an incredibly intense moment in a relationship. Interpol would never sing something like "I'm so happy you love me", instead they make it epic and more romantic, "Through the storms and the light, baby you've stood by my side/ and life is wine". The single off of the album is actually my least favorite track. Mammoth is sweet. Pace is the trick is AWESOME..one of my new favorite Interpol songs. It puts you in the zone right away and the end is really cool with just the guitar and Sam on the drums. Another reviewer mentioned how cool Who Do You Think? is, and i can't agree more. That bassline! Wow! Wrecking ball is just so epic..what more can you say? Don't....Wait...
and then the closing track just destroys you with that "i'm the last man alive on earth who knows how to love" guitar line from Dan that somehow transforms into "We are the best band alive and Carlos probably came up with that awesome sound...we THINK he is using a xylophone but who cares!"
Don't...Wait...
Buy Our Love To Admire..the title says it all. Interpol...one of the best.
