I was worried at first. Because based on random forum conversations I had been eavsdropping on, I would have assumed the Interpol album was absolute garbage. Irrational, but the word of mouth is very persuasive. So I began listening to it-starting with 'No I in Threesome', and I found it to be decent but lacking. In hindsight I believe it's because it didn't carry the epic musical weight that I've come to expect from Interpol. Their upbeat loneliness is prominent, flamboyant, melancholy and wonderful-particuarly culminating in tracks such as 'Mastodon', 'Who Do You Think?', and 'All Fired Up'.(which often makes me want to kick someone's ass) Anyhow, other then 'Threesome' I am thoroughly impressed and inspired by this album. Highly recommended album, from one of the most unique bands I've come across in a few eternities.
