[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

In 2002, we released our first album, Turn On the Bright Lights. We had waited close to five years for the opportunity to record an album. Needless to say this was a memorable moment for us. We never had any expectations for how the album would be received. We just wanted to present our music as an album to anyone who would be open to hearing it. It was incredible to finally tour and see people react to these songs. We never could have imagined that the album would have reached so many people throughout the world.

We spent a good deal of time this past year digging through our archives and asking others to dig through theirs in the hopes of uncovering some forgotten material. The result of our hunting and gathering has yielded this Tenth Anniversary Edition of Turn On the Bright Lights. We wanted to do something special for the fans who have always supported us. We wanted to do something special for the best fans in the world. We hope you enjoy it.

Sincerely yours,
Daniel Kessler

Release Date: November 19th, 2012

This album has yet to cease being in heavy rotation for me for the entirety of the past decade that I've owned it since it was released. I can't explain why I like interpol, but I like 3 of 4 of their albums. Live, they are absolute shit. The guy can't sing and play guitar in rhythm, the timing is way off, but I still might give it a chance, maybe if anything they picked the best of the best live footage

And here I was thinking they'd never release a good album ever again.

I take it back.
