new album. what does anyone think of it? i'm liking it but hate to say i prefer the first one for fear of sounding like a tool. maybe i just need to play this one a million times also. it's pretty upbeat compared to the first.

At first I did not like it. Then I played it on random in a plist with the first album and it grew on me. Definitely not as strong as the first one, but a good album if you like interpol.

yeah, i've listed a few times and i like it, they are a great band i just kinda prefer the intensity of the first one. still, i've got both and they are great for different reasons. random play with both of em is a great idea!

Definately prefer the first album - I don't think this album comes close.. Even the name of the album sounds a bit lame. And tracks like Narc, Evil etc?? Few good songs, but you could listen to everything on Turn on the bright lights and they were all good

I just listened to it for the first time and thought it was great! I love the first album, but it took me a week to really get into it, so I'm thinking Antics will be much the same.
I really rate these guys. Top stuff.

To be honest, I was in Chicago all weekend and it grew on me a lot after being a bit disappointed the first time.
You have to listen to it a lot for it to really hit you, and of course we'll always seem to be disappointed.
To be honest, I like this one much more now than the first other than the song, "NYC".

I recon 'Stella Was A Diver And She Was Always Down' has got to be the best song of the first album. I could listen to that on repeat all day.

agreed, amazing song

i can work to the old album.
i can't work to the new album.
(it's a little different. each with it's own merits perhaps.)

I've had what sounds like a mono recording for like six months now. I've been telling people the first album is way better, but now I think I like them both the same.

what ronaldo said ^

i have the first album and i listen to it almost every day, never get tired of it. and that is really rare for me. I havent heard enough of the second album to know well enough. but it sounds good. you know, might as well. Obstacle 2 rocks.

I think could have left "Next Exit" off of the album, but NARC, Take you on a cruise, Length Of Love, they are all solid. The first album for some reason reminded me of the Talking Heads and David Bowie, but the other day I noticed some B52 influences and a little Dead Can Dance.

kinda blaze goth-pop. it's okay but doesn't have any of the depth of hooks of the last album... which was great from the 1st - 100th listen.
