Lookin' forward to it. Cool video, decent song. I like how it drives and mixes with the surfing footage, but it also seems like a weird combo from them. Whatever.

I love 'em, and I actually thought their S/T album was EASILY their best since TOTBL (which is in my all time top 10). Looking forward to this, though Carlos's departure worries me.

I was shocked when I saw them a couple of weeks ago and noticed that the guy from Secret Machines (Brandon Curtis) was playing keys and doing backing vocals from them. He's much too talented to be simply hanging out in the background for a band like Interpol.

I streamed this once (wanted to wait to get the CD before I really dug into it), and yeah, I really liked it. I always really like Interpol. It sounds a little bit different than their previous albums; bigger, more echo-y, kind of surf rock-influenced. "My Blue Supreme" is great.

After a few more listens, while I still like this, I do think it's their worst album so far. I think it flirts with being a little boring; it actually doesn't sound as "different" as I thought at first. In fact, as far as I can tell, it sounds almost exactly the same as Our Love to Admire. And I also think it's their most downbeat and depressing album, which I'm not loving.
