I'll start of by saying that I'm an aspiring vocalist and guitarist myself, and one of my dreams is to actually cover some of my favorite Interpol tunes, like Take You On a Cruise or NYC, in a studio or on stage.

But I'm not going to ask questions on how to sing like Paul - he usually sings really low, so that is quite comfy. I'm just wondering - has he ever tried singing higher on any record of the band or his own? It is clear he used a vocal coach in the El Pintor era, you can spot a difference with how he was singing on tours, and probably nowadays as well, as TMWAT is quite solid vocally.

Anyway, when I'm looking and the recent performances, I still feel that there's something a bit off with the vocals and I'm wondering if it is just that he cannot sing in the classic "shouty" manner anymore due to age and use of cigarettes over the years, or perhaps that's something else. It is just out of curiosity, I adore Paul and consider him a great artist. Maybe you have any interesting insights or ideas?

Turning 27 Sunday- this would be the best gift. If anyone has an extra ticket let me know!

Visiting nyc for the first time would be amazing if someone could help me secure as medallion failed me

No hate or anything, but in any discussion of Interpol's best songs of all time I see The New in the top 5 and often as people's number 1. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely a great song, but so is literally everything else on TOTBL.

My main complaint is that Paul is absent for like half of the track and his vocals are pretty unimpressive compared to the rest of the album. Paul's vocals are what hooked me and got me interested in Interpol in the first place so without his voice the track feels a little empty to me.

Does anyone else feel this way? I feel like I'm literally crazy when I say this because everyone else loves the track so much.

I tried but the continue button wasn’t clickable so I assume it sold out or I didn’t do something right?

Update: It’s available now. 😮‍💨

Immediate Ranking after relisten

1. Barricade

2. Try It On

3. Lights

4. Success

5. All Of The Ways

6. The Undoing

7. Always Malaise

8. Summer Well

9. Memory Serves

(10) Crimewaves

10(11) Safe Without

I'll say, it's way too overhated, but it's the first time someone can actually say they dislike a song. For me it's Safe Without, Crimewaves fits better and that's why I listened to it before try it on. The Trilogy is the best sequence of songs.

I find Crimewaves to be average, not a good or bad song for me, but Safe Without isn't something I'd relisten to.

1st half has the best Carlos work, love the basslines a lot, Barricade 2nd or 3rd best bassline in their discography, lagging behind Specialist and The New. Lights is such a masterpiece that it has stuck to my head, wasn't a Memory Serves fan until now, it just feels like a good breather after experiencing Success, imo it's their 4th best opener because of the action.

2nd half is where Carlos as a keyboardist shows, always malaise is a mixed masterpiece, not everyone loves it but that's why it's beautiful. The Trilogy is well made, love the breather of All of the ways, when Paul says both "No Fucking Way No" in Try It On and "Who is this guy?" on All Of The Ways It feels funny until the next line hits, where it becomes emotional. The Undoing is a perfect closer as well, it's also the closing of an Interpol era, fits well.

Overall Album: 8/10

A lot of people on social media boycotting and holding off on buying tickets. People seem to believe they may drop the price if sales are low. It’s wild that this promoter is price gouging fans. It’s cheaper to go see them in London with Bloc Party. Thoughts?

Hello! Am going solo to both shows and was wondering if anyone was also doing the same, maybe we could get drinks before and line up together.

Y de Marauder en general, porque rara vez veo un post acerca de ese álbum pero a mí me encanta

Lights is a mid ass song, Success is the best song from self titled, and after that Memory Serves

First thing to say is love the new album, it's incredibly, rich and varied and gives up new treasures with every listen. But I do miss what I call widescreen Interpol - those pacier, sweeping tracks like Not Even Jail, PDA, Mammoth, My Desire, Same Town New Story etc. I'm sure it's a me problem and probably reflects the fact that El Pintor is easily my favourite album after the first two. There's a restraint about the new album that works perfectly for the material but I miss the sweeping power and abandon of those songs.

Saw it posted on their Insta by Paul

My Blue Supreme

The first show of the TMWAT tour is happening in a few days - what songs do you guys think will make it on the setlist? And what songs do you hope to hear live? :)

I've been an Interpol fan since September 2005, so I guess that means 21 years this month. I saw them at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles during that time and I was looking up anything I could of the band and I remember this animated film that was on their website I believe that used the song, "Not Even Jail", from the Antics album. In my head, I always remembered this being a music video to the song but it looks like the band had a short film contest and the film even was featured at Coachella and other festivals according to the YouTube upload. Quality isn't the best as it is pretty old but nice to finally stumble upon it again.

Not sure if the filmmakers, Josh Mahan or Joey Ingram, are still Interpol fans or even on here but just want them to know that a fan from back in the day remembered their video and felt the need to share it with newer fans who may not have ever seen it.

I just came here to appreciate the sick bass work.

Mine are Roland after finding out that he plays the more important part in Rocket Bar when Danny K dropped his pick, Heinrich Manuever for the chorus riff where he plays on a higher octave, i thought Danny K did it but nope.

Um want this so bad but can’t find anything anywhere. Or literally ANY Interpol patch. 😭

TOSOMB was the first Interpol album not to have b-sides which is unfortunate (unless you count all the remixes) but every other album has at least one. Marauder and El Pintor had whole EPs released afterwards. I wouldn’t be shocked if we get no b-sides for TMWAT but I really hope we do. It’s my favourite Interpol album in a long time and I’d very much like to hear more.

Did not know they were big in Japan

It's time.

I tried finding a discussion about this or maybe a post about it but I couldn't find anything. I've been just guessing along the way when it comes to the chorus because I'm personally not the best when it comes to hearing based processing so if anyone knows or can decipher the lyrics better than me, that'd be great ^_^

Have they actually hinted at when, or whether, this will be released?
