Really looking forward to this. Hopefully it will be a step up from their self-titled.
In which case, it'll be stellar
I don't find it awful or anything like that, just generally unremarkable, especially when compared to their first two albums.

I just didn't want to see them without knowing the new songs first.
So far, they're playing 3 songs of the new one at best.
All 10 songs have leaked BTW.
It's definitely better than Our Love to Admire.
That's funny, because I do like Our Love to Admire more than the self-titled, although it's very, very flawed, and I consider Mammoth to be one of its lowpoints.
This new one sounds a bit generic after first listen.
Haven't listened yet will wait for the official
Isn't it always super fun to hear what people who have listened to all their albums 6 times each have to say about subpar quality streams and leaks?
I agree with the above post. El Pintor is solid but there aren't that many stand-outs. It's Interpol being Interpol, though a bit more concise than usual.
I have no idea who it is exactly you're referring to, but maybe it's for the best if you avoid threads like these as soon as a leak is announced (a relatively substantial amount of time had passed between this and any kind of first impression). I tend to do that myself if I want to be patient with new music coming out. And the leak is high quality, nothing alike the one that surfaced with self-titled in 2010.
All things considered, I'd say this is a fair assessment in the end.

I listened to it again today, since my first got interrupted. I'm still really feeling the opener as my favorite track. I'm also very fond of "Anywhere" and "Same Town, New Story". It drops off a bit after track five for a song or two, but "Tidal Wave" is, musically, the best song on here, which is nice. And, I don't really care much for the closer, yet.
I'm still pleased.
