I haven’t listened to an Interpol album all the way through since 2007. Maybe it’s amazing! Likely it’s not.
I have checked out a couple of tracks, and they sound better than a lot of what the band has done in the years since they mattered.
I think more than anything “Turn on the Bright Lights” was an accident. Like “Source Tags & Codes.” They’re capable enough at making bouncy rock, but I think it was a fluke that they made an album that channeled a mood and sound so well. Upon reinspection the lyrics to TOTBL are really quite bad. It’s the atmospherics that make it great. And it is pretty great.
