OK, I caved. Listened.
Let's just say this band is going noooowhere at light speed. This is easily their worst album yet. It's like their X&Y minus the misplaced ambition. There's no ambition here at all. Just the same old riffs and a ton of shitty lyrics. How could you forsake me like this Interpol? How? Why? You showed so much promise once upon a time. Turns out you were just a one-trick pony. A pony somebody smacked in the face with a shovel and made retarded.
Bleck. I'll give this album one more fair chance another day. But there's no fucking way I'm buying this. You know what? Horray for illegal downloads. It keeps me from blinding purchasing crap albums.
What else is there to say right now? I'm crushed. I mean it's not an abysmal album. But they're capable of soooo much more.
