Thoughts? I saw the video for Evil the other day and now I'm hooked! What a great sound... and topped off with a haunting video (that puppet gives me the heebie-jeebies!).

I can definately hear the similarity with Joy Division, Echo & Bunnymen, etc. but the lead singer sounds a lot like Michael Stipe to me.

BTW, I assume they have nothing to do with the 80's Interpol (G-g-g-g-get out o' London)

"Get Out Of London" was by Intaferon, there was no '80s Interpol.

I like the second album much more than the first - the first has some very good tunes, but a number of them drag on too long and a lot of the lyrics are cringeworthy. On Antics it seems they've realized that ending a song before 4 minutes hasve passed is OK. And the lyrics, while much less awful, still don't make any sense.

I don't see the Michael Stipe comparison, though.

That puppet IS creepy! I wound up liking the song more after seeing the video though.

I like the new album, with "Evil" probably being my favorite track, but I don't think any of it can compare (IMHO) to the most haunting "NYC" off their debut.

I like Interpol. There one of the many indie bands today trying to bring back the good ol' synth days. I'm sure if Interpol & the Killers & Franz Ferdinand were around back in the 80's they would've been HUGE!!

I loved Interpol from the get go.

I received an advance copy of their first CD and I predicted that they were going to be big.

I like the first album much better than the second one, which seems kinda dry.

Ooh, Interpol rock, and YES, they totally have the Echo & the Bunnymen meet Joy Division thing down! I love both their albums, but I do have to say that I think Antics is far more anthemic and exciting and sounds more like the product of a confident lineup who all sound like they've known what they've been doing since the very first take. Not saying I dislike their debut album at the least -- I do love it so. But Antics is... whoa. Amazing. I hope they get bigger with every album they release.

(Oh, and it doesn't hurt that they're all cute, huh? Ha.)

Interpol is a great band. Yeah, I see the similarity in Daniel's voice with Michael Stirpe's but he has that kind of Ian Curtis style of singing(but he is no Ian).
Maybe Interpol is the best newer- wave band... I think so. But what I don't agree with is with the ones that said that Interpol is the new JD. There was only one Joy Division and only one Ian Curtis.

A personality infusion and they could be big big big. [}:)]

Every day that goes by, I like Interpol more. I love how they dress and their attitude. Their lyrics are awesome too.
The only thing that I suspect is that I like Interpo because I like Joy Division... though I think that Interpol is different in many ways from Joy.

My favorite is C'mere. If you want to listen to interpol and other new good wave bands for free, listen to our new free internet radio at koolrockradio.com

I like C'mere very much too.. also Narc, Evil, Slow hands and Obstacle 1.

Sort of like most of them. [:)]
