I've only listened to the first two. Excited for this one after All the Rage Back Home.

It's worth listening to the other two, not for the merits of a complete album experience but for the presence of some great individual tracks.
 
I'm really bad about remembering their songs by track title, but I know that I love Obstacle 1, Narc and Lights. But seriously, it doesn't seem to matter how many times I hear any of the albums, I couldn't pick NYC, Heinrich Manoeuvre, Leif Erikson, PDA, etc. out from a line up. And I've heard the first album six or seven times.
 
I'll likely go to my grave having their first two albums still being two of my favs of all time. Really excited for their tour this fall, they're coming to my favorite venue in Utah.
 
Some interesting perspectives in here. One of the things that fascinates me about Interpol is the changes from album to album - although I agree the first two represent the pinnacle of their output. To disagree with an earlier poster - I find Antics to be the most complete album & it is leaner and meaner than TOTBL. However the debut has some incredible, immersive songs that are beyond compare.

I prefer the self titled to OLTA - Summer Well, Lights and Try It On are very important songs to me. Success and Barricade were good fun too.

Bring on El Pintor.
 
Antics rules. Honestly I haven't spent enough time with either album to really discuss, but "immersive" is a good word for Bright Lights. When you're not in the mood for diving that far in but still wanna listen to some Interpol, Antics is perfect.
 
I enjoy the track 3-6 section of Antics the most. The rest is mostly forgettable to me, and they fucked up A Time To Be So Small. There's a much better version on the Precipitate EP.
 
You're gonna laugh... I was like "A Time To Be So Small"?? went to check Antics in my iTunes, turns out, I thought it was a nine-track album all this time hahaha
 
Excited to see the news of the album and tour. Like others, I'm a huge fan of the first two records, but I like the others a lot as well.

I think it's been about ten years since I've seen them live (with Secret Machines as the opener). I vaguely remember calling mofo so he could hear one of the songs during the show. Good times.

:up: Yes.

I listened to about a minute of a Secret Machines song a few weeks ago, got depressed that we'll never hear anything else from them, and turned it off.

Got my tickets to the Phoenix show. Pretty excited to see them again. :up:

And yeah, I tried to listen to Secret Machines around the start of the new year. I couldn't do it either.
 
I need to buy tix for the show here, it's at my favorite local indoor venue.

Song Seven and The Specialist would be among my favorite / most listened to b-sides of any band.
 
Liking it a lot, more so than All the Rage Back Home

Record release show at the Met with complimentary wine/beer and snacks for $45. Hell yeah.
 
The show here in Arizona Wednesday night was fantastic. Paul Banks was smiling and clearly glad to be on stage, and the setlist was full of old hits. The show overall was short, but it packed a punch.

Setlist:
Say Hello to the Angels
Evil
C'mere
My Desire (new)
Leif Erikson
Not Even Jail (highlight of the show for me)
NYC
Anywhere (new)
Narc
Take You on a Cruise
All the Rage Back Home
PDA

Encore:
Lights
Slow Hands

Mofo, I thought of you during NYC. It sounded gorgeous, as I'm sure you can imagine.
 
I was really hoping for Obstacle 1, but that didn't happen. It's really early in their tour, though. I'm guessing the setlists will get longer as they go.

They're not coming here until the end of Sept., I'm surprised there's such a gap in their tour between Phoenix and SLC.
 
I think this is supposed to be streaming somewhere today or tomorrow, right?

Edit: Thanks D! :lol:
