oh. well good to know they are in here somewhere.

thanks!

The Our Love to Admire songs were great live as well.

Since it was a bonus track and I assume you own TOTBL, I can sendspace it to you if you like

u2popmofo · 04-29-2010, 01:37 PM

I just bought it off of iTunes, actually. Lolz and stuff. Listening now.

EDIT: You were right, it's good stuff.

Hmm, interesting song title in light (

) of all the criticism Editors (who also have a song called Lights) receive for their similarities to Interpol. Just a thought that came to mind.

OLTA is quality, I prefer it over Antics. The final two tracks on Antics really detract from my overall opinion of that album, and I've never been a big fan on Narc for some reason...

OLTA's weak points are the awful All Fired Up and The Scale, truly pointless songs that are Interpol in autopilot for me. On the other hand, Rest My Chemistry, Pioneer, No I in Threesome, Pace is the Trick and Heinrich are sensational.

Leif Erikson and PDA are probably my two favourite Interpol tunes.

Really been wanting to hear Mind Over Time....

fucking fancy website graphic bullshit, how the hell do we download the actual song?

MissVelvetDress_75 · 04-29-2010, 10:24 PM

I entered my email and they emailed it to me. It downloaded and is now on my itunes.

Yeah, that intro page pissed me off - usually it's pretty obvious where to click to get to the main page, but not this one.

Hey U2pM what did you think of Mind Over TIme?

PhilsFan · 04-30-2010, 02:13 AM

Fact: They are opening up the U2 show I'm seeing in Philly.

I have Turn on the Bright Lights, but nothing else. What do I need to know?

Fact: Same here

Antics is also a great album, like I said, I haven't heard the third album, but Antics is a lot looser than Bright Lights (imo) and while not as deep, is an entertaining listen.

LemonMelon · 04-30-2010, 03:46 AM

Lights sounds like TOTBL, and that's probably the best thing I can say about it. The atmosphere is there, the outro slays, and there aren't any moronic lyrics that stand out (always a flaw in their music), but the song could use a lot of editing and the melody is unmemorable. Basically, it's a good enough song, but a horrendous single.

Also, I too appreciate Antics and would recommend it. The singles are especially strong.

phanan · 04-30-2010, 07:31 AM

I haven't read anywhere that Lights is indeed going to be the single, and I doubt it will be. Kind of similar to what Doves did, when they released Jetstream as a free download, but it wasn't the official first single.

And yeah, there's very little chance it's a single.

I thought it was a fairly obvious reference to the first album.

It seems like a fairly calculated release to throw one of their longer, sprawling, early-workish type tracks out there in advance of the album after losing a number of fans with Our Love to Admire.

nielsgov · 04-30-2010, 03:07 PM

Listening to it now for the third time. It has a nice build-up but it only starts getting interesting after about three minutes.

xaviMF22 · 04-30-2010, 03:50 PM

Im liking this

and antics

Not even Jail

intedomine · 05-02-2010, 06:09 AM

non-TOTBL Interpol songs that would be worth knowing in readiness for the U2 gigs would be Evil, Slow Hands, Heinrich Maneuver and Lights...

Loving this tune, reminds me of some of something like Games For Days off Banksy's solo album.

Adore this band...

Imperor · 05-10-2010, 12:43 AM

Carlos D has left the band. So much for our trick-or-treating date this month.

Jive Turkey · 05-10-2010, 01:05 AM

shitty

I think that had been coming for a while though

Narc has long been my favourite.
