New Interpol!!

[Dalton]

Mudfield, when the lead singer of a band (as they commonly do) turns his microphone towards the crowd so that they can sing the next verse/chorus, do you shout back, "Do your fucking job!"?

I'm sorry, Mud, I completely forgot who I was talking too.

Do you shout, "Do your fucking job, you lazy Jews!"

Is their nobody who has already downloaded this album? It's leaked. I'm listening to it now for the first time.

Downloading leaks is douchebaggy, I'll wait until it's released.

 

[bono_212]

Regardless of the douchiness, I was told the quality of that leak is horrendous.

 

[u2popmofo]

Downloading horrendous quality leaks is even douchier!

 

[nielsgov]

I'll buy the album later so I don't see the problem.

Nah - it gives you the motivation to buy the real thing later!

 

[nielsgov]

Regardless of the douchiness, I was told the quality of that leak is horrendous.

It sounds alright to me although I'm about the opposite of an audiophile.

 

[Jive Turkey]

I'm waiting since I've heard the quality is a rip of a stream. not interested in hearing an album that way for the first time

 

[bono_212]

Apparently this is a different leak, but I'm telling you from what I heard the original leak was pretty much like listening to a U2 live feed.

 

[nielsgov]

Well I didn't hear any cows or evil laughs.

 

[lazarus]

Downloading horrendous quality leaks is even douchier!

What's worse, a douchey leak, or a leaky douche?

Interholes,

Pitchfork has some new "POV Concert Series" up for Interpol. You can change the camera angles at will and stuff. It has 4 tracks, 3 of which are from the new album:

Pitchfork: POV Concert Series

I'm quite excited for the new album next week.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Thanks for the link If you're interested, there is one up for the Walkmen too. Its really quite awesome... should probably put it in the proper thread

Did you see NPR is streaming the Walkmen album?

It'll be a good couple weeks for music. Interpol next week, Walkmen the week after. I just realized The Thermals have a new one next week as well.

 

[Jive Turkey]

I did not see that! Off I go Thanks again!

 

[u2popmofo]

I might wait until I buy it, might not. We'll see.

 

[Jive Turkey]

I can't wait. I've been waiting for this one since I first heard You & Me. It's definitely a first day purchase for me.

If you want a little taste, the pitchfork POV thing is really good

summer well

 

[Imperor]

Apparently the album leaked. I'm not going to listen because I'm afraid someone is going to sing along to it.

give in!!!!!!!!!

 

[intedomine]

One week, I can wait..

 

[bono_212]

This album comes out on my birthday, which is the big reason I'm waiting to hear it, I've been promised a copy as a present. I will raise hell if I am disappointed (or not, who knows :O)

 

[intedomine]

Whole thing is streaming on MySpace...

I had to cave and listen to Summer Well, I'm obsessed with the lyrics and love that live clip on youtube from a few months back.

 

[u2popmofo]

Just got home from work early, and my doorbell rang. Amazon apparently decided to start my weekend off well by delivering the new Interpol album 4 days early. I'm ok with that.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Very cool. Give it time. It's a bit of a grower. I thought I hated it at first, but now I think its quite good

 

[nielsgov]

Yeah same with me. I think I'll like it better than the previous two.

 

[u2popmofo]

I liked it more the second time through, but I'm still not thrilled. At the moment, I'd probably rate it along side Our Love To Admire as being in the lower ranks of their albums. Regardless, I still liked Our Love To Admire, and I like this as well. Oddly enough, I felt like Our Love To Admire had far more stand out tracks than this does, but I like the overall feeling of this much more. Regardless, I'm sure I'll listen to it quite a bit through out the rest of the year.

 

[Jive Turkey]

This is how I felt too, but now there are easily 5 or 6 songs (not including lights, which I love) that get me really excited. It's less immediate than Our Love to Admire was. And they're letting the songs breathe again, especially on the outros. But I'll let you draw your own conclusions

 

[corianderstem]

I wasn't a fan of Our Love to Admire - nothing on it stood out to me. No idea if I should pick up this new one or not.

 

[Jive Turkey]

I liked several songs on Our Love to Admire (Pioneer to the Falls, Pace is the Trick, Lighthouse), but in a different way than other Interpol songs. They felt like they were constructed a bit more ordinarily than their older stuff. More verse-chorus-verse than something like The New or Leif Erikson. I thought it was okay for one album, but would be disappointed if it was a new direction for them
