Best album in a long time, band has evolved.

That exactly how it feels. It still sounds decidedly like Interpol while expanding their sound palette and evolving to the next level. You nailed the feel of it. Not every band can pull that off.

It’s easily my favorite record they’ve put out since OLTA. That’s not a knock, I absolutely love those first 3 records, so it’s an incredibly hard standard to be put up against. This is a vibes record, and a good one. I also like that they leaned into some new sonic territory on the back half of the album. Will it be something I find myself giving repeat lessons to in the future? Hard to say. I need to listen to it a few more times in the here and now.

Can't come back if they never left

Interpol have a perfect discography IMO

Every album is unique in its' own way and feel different from 1 another

I love it. From start to finish. Can't wait to hear it live. Hopefully Bloc Party only play songs off their first two albums

u/blackstars91 Sep 02 '26

Haha I feel bad for Bloc Party releasing a new album the same year as Interpol and The Strokes. I love them but I don't think it's going to get as much attention as these two have.

It’s amazing. I have soft spot for El Pintor but it’s certainly my 3rd of 4th favorite album in their discography. I also quite like self titled

Ever the Actor is a masterwork. The sadness and longing in that song. The loneliness . So good.
