This is fine. Not sure where the strong hate is coming from, but then again I'm barely familiar with the band outside of name recognition and maybe, a long time ago, having heard El Pintor (not even 100% sure of this). It just seemed like pretty accessible indie-rock with a mildly detectable post-punk lean, definitely enjoyable even if it didn't rock my world first spin.

it's probably the single blandest record I've heard this yr - inoffensive to begin with, but the more attention you pay to those autopilot af guitar melodies, the worse it gets
cold take, but this band's entire rhythm section essentially died when carlos dengler left

"Mildly Delectable Post-Punk Lean" is the name of my new industrial hip hop album

Interpol stay pulling some shit, every time I'm about to drop em I throw on TOTBL and all is forgiven

Exactly, TOTBL, Antics and Our Love were all so amazing that I will always love this band no matter what. But this shit needs to stahp, why can't they do something they're good at

It’s not a triumphant return to anything, because Marauder is not bad at all (except the production), and this has too many faults to be excellent. But against all the derision towards them from today’s music community, I’ll take it. I respect the shit out of veteran bands that keep going and stay consistent even after most people have moved on to whatever current band r/indieheads told them to love. The reason people get so mad at Interpol for being Interpol is that we can see what they could’ve been or maybe could be still. If they were just another forgettable rock band, people wouldn’t have discussions about their bass tone, bad habits, and song structure lol

Love this record. I think this may be their best since Our Love to Admire, but to each their own.

Not sure how I feel about it, it's tepid, but there are some good tracks. Could've used a couple of more engaging tracks to change the pace.

Something Changed is by far the best song here imo but I pretty much agree with all of point1's points.
" but then again I'm barely familiar with the band outside of name recognition and maybe, a long time ago, having heard El Pintor (not even 100% sure of this)"
Brah check out their debut and el pinter. It is pop tinged post punk but it's far catchier and tighter than this is

These guys have always been uber hit and miss on a song by song basis but this album isn't gonna extend my interpol playlist by much

I'm actually surprised you haven't heard those albums

Gotta admit I dig the negative vibes in here

That guy in the crowd with the black festival shirt, who's constantly shaking and scratching his head, i swear has got to be my soulmate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7wK_U60pWY

Man this shit is disappointing
|
| |
As with Marauder, i’m one of the few people who likes it.
|
| |
At least Marauder had If You Really Love Nothing
This album has nothing memorable imo

'You listen to this but still haven't listened to Our Love to Admire? Bruh c'mon, Interpol are way past it at this point obviously. OLTA is good though'
to be fair OLTA had a small handful of great cuts and I have some nostalgic bias in support of it, but that album was so damn inconsistent, even back then

This one is incredibly bland so far, unsurprisingly
yeah essentially what Johnny said, uninteresting auto-pilot melodies and a rhythm section that barely even noticeable it's so uneventful - there's just nothing to get excited about here
Confused by the praise (in some quarters) for this

I don't know. I think side B is pretty solid. Greenwich is probably my favourite song on the album. Go Easy is really nice too. They should probably have a talking-to with whoever pitched Fables as a single though.

After my first listen, I kind of like it.
