what does /mu/ think about Interpol ?
is that album any good? I've only listened to Turn on the Bright Lights

TOTBL is a 9.5/10, rest not so much
>>65021545
Not particularly, it's alright
One of those bands who debuted with a classic album, and progressively got worse each album after that.
>>65021534
In general, not a fan and they suck live
>>65021781
can second this, even back in TOTBL days the sucked live
how to make an interpol song
step one: eighth notes
>>65022554
step two
rip hi hat drum beat from joy division song
>>65021792
>>65021781
from what i've seen, they have been pretty bad live
this is really good though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK_VgHfP_xc
OLTA was their last great album, everything that has come afterwards has sucked pretty much.

i think they started to lose chemistry as a live band in the middle of the OLTA tour when carlos went sweeney todd on everyone. (i saw them live during the antics and olta tours and i noticed the difference) but pretty much any of their live stuff from 02-05 is pretty good, not sure what you guys are talking about.

step three
write singles in F major EVERY TIME
>>65021534
out love to admire is the best interpol record I don't care what anyone says
>>65021781
>they suck live
Confirmed never seen them live
They might suck now, but they were great pre-OLTA
Slow hands is one of the best songs ever
They missed the bassist on the latest album, which was utter shit
"everything is wrong, everything is wrong, everything is wrong" is the laziest writing of any 'band' i've ever heard

I saw Interpol back in 05 and paul banks came out in a tracksuit and was fat and stoned and mumbled through all the songs. As a 16 year old wanting to see the suited dapper retro vibes that all their photos were depicting, i was disappointed to say the least
TOTBL = 9/10
Antics = 5/10
OLTA = 6/10
Self titled = meh
El Pintor = 7/10
If you heard one album, you heard them all. Overall very decent band with some gems in each album
Fan of them; I also like their same titled album thought.
But... are they really so bad in their shows? I'be never been in one but these opinions are not encouraging me to go.

Seen them once at the Fox Theatre in Pomona and I wasn't disappointed.

TOTBL = 10/10
Antics = 9/10
OLTA = 7/10
Self Titled = 5/10
El Pintor = 6/10
Plus they were quite good in Primavera Sound last year. And Paul had a nice touch when the kights went off and he said "Hay sonido, pues tocamos" (There's sound, so we keep playing) in spanish
