Summary: listen alone
Comment: At first, I wasn't fond of this album as much as the past ones. However, the moment when I completely fell in 'Admire' was listening to it alone on a plane, on the verge of falling into nap mode---Methinks, the conditioning my brain had on my listening habits was caught off-guard and I heard this album in a whole new light. I love it.

Summary: Interpol not at their best
Comment: I am a huge fan of Interpol, but I fould this CD quite boring an repetitious.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A natural progression for Interpol
Comment: I could spend hours writing about this band, but I'll keep this brief.
Turn On The Bright Lights - classic.
Antics - The pinnacle of Interpol
Our Love To Admire - Not "Turn On The Bright Lights" or "Antics"
I have trouble going start to finish with this one, but there are incredible songs here that I am in love with.

Summary: Our Love to Admire
Comment: I became interested in Interpol when I heard Evil on the radio ... and I became hooked. I bought Antics and loved it, so when this album came out, I bought it instantly.
I do not know too much about music. I tend to like a song and then buy the cd (which seems to happen very rarely). I like the dark, yet humorous sound of this album. It is one of the few cds I can listen to repeatedly without ever tiring of it. The first 3 songs are my favorite, but Wrecking Ball and The Lighthouse are a great way to end the cd. It is an interesting sound with thoughtful lyrics, yet a little dark. And that is exactly what I want.
Interpol has never disappointed me ... and I doubt they ever will. Highly reccomend.

Summary: Cold charm for the masses
Comment: A band with a cool attitude and a distinctive dark side , Interpol have three albums already under their belts and a loyal fanbase which follows them everywhere . Their merits as a group include a strong song-writting in which every guitar strike seems to have been destined to count and ofcourse frontman Paul Bank , a guy sounds like Satan singing about sensitivities.
Not so long ago , there was a moment where Interpol were a must according to every decent music magazine out there ...and rightly so . I have yet to buy an album as complete and powerful as their 2004 offering " Antics ". Their latest release " Our Love To Admire " has more in common with the muscular rock of that album than the quiet doom of their debut " Turn on the bright lights " . Undeniably , this doesn't see them exploring new ground but still , once again , there are many great tunes to cherish like first cd-single " The Heinrich Maneuver " , " No I In A Threesome " and ( my personal favourite ) " Pace Is The Trick " .
Now , the hype surrounding this one might be substancially less than before but this is just how the industry works . Every couple of years a set of bands wins praise and press attention . They are the future of rock music , the new messiahs of pop and rock ...until their next release when they will be denied by everyone who embraced them in the first place , for no particular reason . In 2001 it was the Strokes , in 2003 the White Stripes and in 2004 it was Coldplay ( curiously enough with the worst of their four offerings ) who were gonna save modern music from it's decay . Then again , does rock need to be saved ? It this a competition of some sort ? The answer is NO . With that in mind , Interpol can still write first-class rock and this should be more than enough for everyone who likes good music .
