Summary: LOVE IT
Comment: It's great! Even when Indie music is starting to sound pretty standard, these guys just seem to stand out still.

Summary: Disapointment
Comment: This CD is like meeting a beautiful woman and finding out she's your sister. The fist song, Pioneer to the falls, is one of their best. Unfortunately, the rest of the CD simply does not live up to the first song's standard. I hope this is not a trend with Interpol. Each new album is not as good as the one it replaced. I once called this group a revelation. After this CD, I'm not so sure.

Summary: A return to form for Interpol
Comment: Interpol's big, well known release was "Antics" and while good, it was definitely a radio album--12 separate tracks never really feeling like it fit together. With "Our Love to Admire", Interpol has returned to what it established with "Turn on the Bright Lights". "Our Love to Admire" is a very strong album that gets back to the concept album side of things without worrying about how it will play on the radio. If you liked "Turn on the Bright Lights" you'll definitely enjoy this!

Summary: Feels like a third album... in a bad way
Comment: Okay, most of you liked the first two albums, like I did. The third one feels like it knows it's number three, both living off the success of the sounds they've established and at the same time trying to be a little unconventional in creating new material. The main problem I have is with the lack of creativity displayed on this album- the lead guitar is still driving many of the songs but they're really not showing us anything new. They're rehashed and they're less memorable. Specifically, listen to the opening of "Pace is the Trick" and then listen to "Pioneer To the Falls." Some of the notes actually line up, and listening to track 6 my brain just hears track 1. Additionally, it is convenient that the vocals sound so robotically unemotional at times, because it allows the vocalist to drum around boringly without detaching from their theme. This brings me to probably my biggest complaint- there are several songs where the chorus is simply the same line repeated over and over again. Of course this is effective in many memorable songs, but when you do it this many times in an album you have to wonder if the creative juices weren't flowing. "Mammoth" in particular kills me, listening to the line "spare me the suspense" over and over again. "All Fired Up" does it too, as does "Rest My Chemistry." In other songs as well, he'll fill verse with a repeated line, which to me frustrates the dialogue of the lyrics.
It seems to me Interpol has exhausted their gimmick and it's apparent on a lot of these tracks, but there is a reason I gave it three stars. There are shining moments like the opener, Heinrich Manuever, and The Scale. Barring the lyrics, I could find reasons to love Rest my Chemistry as well.

Moving up to a major label has hardly lifted Interpol's spirits. This is a good thing. Even with the twisted Wild Kingdom album cover and bassist Carlos Dengler's unexpected Wild West makeover, on its third studio album the black-clad New York quartet still sounds inflexibly menacing, grasping tighter than ever to its doomy post-punk influences and delving further into frontman Paul Banks's emotional unrest. Everything sounds a little bigger and brighter, sure, but at their core songs like "Rest My Chemistry" and "Wrecking Ball" are heroically sinister, goaded on by prickly riffs and slow-bleeding rhythms. The group briefly jumps to life on the buzzing "Heinrich Manouver" and exhibits an unexpected dash of humor on "No I in Threesome," but it's the closing "Lighthouse" that best defines the set--a late-night lament that simply steals away into the dark. --Aidin Vaziri Interpol Photos More from Interpol
