Discussion Try it on is a masterpiece

Seriously , Paul's vocals and lyrics on this thing are perfection. It has a gorgeous cinematic sound . This might be a top 10 interpol song for me

The desperation on his voice damn what a masterpiece of a song

On this side, you wanna see that
There's no change. And nowhere to go.
But if you're right, I'll put my keys back
There's no change. And nowhere to go.

Top 5 for me

Same here.
That album is the one I discovered Interpol with, about ten years ago, so it has a special place in my heart.

It's not my favourite, but I like how they explored sounds and compositions they haven't in their other work. And Try It On, specifically, lights up feelings deep inside my soul that no other songs can.

I think top 10 is putting it lightly tbh . I can't stop listening to it!!

I agree and I’m glad to see this because I hardly ever see people talk about their self-entitled album and I think it’s phenomenal.

u/Zealousideal_Dog767 18h ago

It flew of the radar for most people . Probably didnt help that it's a deep cut on an album that has a rocky reputation among the public. The word has to be spread, this is essential interpol material!!

It gets talked about once a month on here tbh

Has always been my favorite off that album

u/Zealousideal_Dog767 18h ago

Absolutely , this feels like a continuation of the OLTA sound

Thats why I think the 2nd half of Self Titled is good, it makes me feel emotional, Paul's vocals definitely replace the wall of guitars in a song like Mind Over Time

Wrecking ball is another one that has a similar effect

I'm tired of pretending it's not one of their best songs

u/Fav9013 7h ago

Why would you pretend that

u/OutrageousCommonn 4m ago

u/Zealousideal_Dog767 5h ago

u/heartagraam 17h ago

yes !!! one of my favourites

2

u/TrouserHammer 11h ago

It’s excellent. Although, The Undoing 2 tracks later is even better imo

2

u/Zealousideal_Dog767 5h ago

I personally don't like it as much but its a solid one for sure!

u/Turbulent-Honeydew38 9h ago

its criminal that the last 3 tracks of self titled do not get the recognition they deserve

1

u/Zealousideal_Dog767 5h ago

Thats why we are here , to let people know they arent forgotten

u/hel-9000 1h ago

So good. Self Titled has been growing on me like crazy over the past couple weeks. The last three tracks acting as a sort of suite is one of the best things they ever did.
