Has anyone got the new Interpol cd?

What is your review is it as good as "Turn on the Bright Lights"?

I've had an advance of [i]Antics[/i] for quite some time now and I've listened to most of it, but not the complete CD. I'd like to say that it was as good as [i]Turn On THe Bright Lights[/i] (one of the best indie albums ever, in my opinion), but that w

I have no idea who's site this is posted on, take at your own risk.

Ollie, that's a surprising post for you. Why would you post a link to the entire contents of a brand new album, especially of a band that's trying to make a living making the kind of music that a lot of us like. Just wondering what's up.

Just trying to help out another curious potential fan. Bad late-night judgement on my part. I have editied to correct my fau pax.

Is that the all porno site? [:D]

Bah, Snoozerpol, lol.

I've tried and tried but I cannot. See, the lead singer kinda sounds enough like the dude from the Tragically Hip (who I totally hate) with a bit of the Joy Division rip off. I'm sure they're nice guys, but I can't get into it.

I got it and after a couple of listens, changed CDs and the disc wound up out of the case in my bag and is now ruined. argh! But I have to say that after the couple of listens, I wasn't immediately enchanted like I was with ...Bright Lights. On the Cur

Agreed. It's listenable, but nowhere near as engaging as [b]Turn on the Bright Lights[/b] -- certainly overrated. I'm enjoying The Killers album more.

I do wonder however where are the great lines like these...

Wow, I'm really shocked at these responses. I've had my copy for about 6 weeks now and it's one of my favorite albums of the year. I like the fact that it's not a carbon copy of [i]Turn On The Bright Lights[/i]. Now, I will say that "Slow Hands" wasn't th

Lansing-Dreiden is another act out there now with a sound that tips a hat to new wave.

It's definitely not as immediate as TOTBL. That sucked me in from first listen. There are some good ones on it though: Evil, C'Mere and Not Even Jail stand out for me. I am a little disappointed though. I thought this one would take the top of my lis

I've had Antics for about 2 months, I have to admit it took some time, but it eventually grew on me. I'm diggin' it.

Well I go down to Virgin Records today and give it a free whirl.

So far the reviews sound so so.
