Interpol - Interpol
Being on the alternative rock scene for about 13 years now, Interpol has consistently been one of my more popular groups in the genre. Three years after their highest ranking album Our Love to Admire, Interpol has returned with their fourth album, self-titled Interpol. You won’t find the most insane guitar solos here, nor the most bright sounds. But what you will find are relaxed, eccentric, and melancholic harmonies. Instead of the vocals or the instrumentals fighting with each other to see who can be the loudest, they work in intertwining with each other to create a voice that is rare in a world filled with Miley Cyruses and Justin Biebers.

In my opinion, this album is slightly inferior to Our Love to Admire. It has its gems, but not all songs are equally as memorable. And some may also argue that their decision to be more mellow in this album like their works in Turn On the Bright Lights was not exactly the best. But nevertheless, it is still highly recommended to give this album a try, even if you’ve never heard of Interpol.

Entertainment Weekly gives the album an 83%, remarking that “The riffs here are grander, the rhythms more limber, and the melodies more memorably moody than they’ve been in years.” To learn more about Interpol, visit http://www.interpolnyc.com/.
