slippy Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Got there album recently and its really growing on me . Any other fans of Interpol out there. Cant believe Im gonna miss them at TITP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesxman Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Which album did you get? They have 2! I bought Turn On The Bright Lights out of interest and loved it. Antics took a while to grow on me but is now a firm favourite - FOPP selling it for a fiver! Anyone who doesn't yet own it should get down there now!! Looks like I should see them twice this summer, U2 support and TITP, canna wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slippy Posted May 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 It was Antics I got. Would you recommend Turn on the Bright Lights. Out of interest when was TOTBL released and is there anywhere (FOPP etc) that have it cheap at the moment.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartily recommend it, although it has a slightly different feel to Antics which I think is why I found Antics took a bit more getting into initially but now Evil and Slow Hands are constantly played around my house.

Steve Temple Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Interpol mission statement: to provide "a degree of mental stimulation while shaking your ass". I think that's the best anyone can hope for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote']It was autumn 2002 that TOTBL came out. I seem to remember it was going relatively cheap in Fopp a while ago. Antics is more instant than TOTBL in my opinion and ultimately better cause i think Interpol's songs work a bit better with slightly (but only slightly) warmer delivery than on TOTBL.

So when Antics appeared it seemed a lot more 'poppy' (probably not the right term but ah well)....but funnily enough I listen to Antics a lot more now....

slippy Posted May 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 mjg1971 noticed you have Bauhaus in your list of band likes. I heard one of their songs (Stigmata Martyr) in the film Night of the Demons and loved it and have always pondered on wether to get one of their albums or not. You recommend any of their albums mate.

meekshallinherit Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 My dad got ticket's for U2 and I decided I shall endure Pompous Twat and his Band of Shits just to see the mighty 'pol. They were excellent at Leeds 03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bestink Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 you are clearly deluded....because of the sound being exactly like the cd and the inability to see anything but the odd flash of Carlos D swinging his bass around? Hardly.I felt like i was at home listening to the cd which i might as well have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You recommend any of their albums mate.I have a copy of "Mask" - but they are nowhere near as acessible as Interpol. ANCIENT MARINER II may be able to help you better, he has "In the Flat Field", but I don't like that. Roll on TITP, you should check out the band "Editors" too if you like Interpol, I'm assuming you haven't heard them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You recommend any of their albums mate.Stigmata Martyr is on In The Flat Field, but I'm here to tell you that it is just about the worst track on the album. It's the kind of pompous, cliched satanic nonsense that invented the whole "goth" thing. If you like it, you may not like the rest of the album, which is in a raw, post-punk vein. But, then again, you like Interpol, so...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slippy Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Narc, Havent heard of 'Editors' before but I'll definately be looking for some of theirmaterial. Have they released an album recently??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why it's the only studio one I have bought on CD besides the Press The Eject And Give Me The Tape live one. The 2 CD singles compilations probably cover all you need unless you are obsessive about them. But Rosegarden Funeral Of Sores isn't on them so In The Flat Field still is a must buy for me for that track alone, I love it for some reason....5 quid in FOPP quite frequently, keep an eye out.
