CRITIC REVIEWS

Though short, this collection of songs offers something markedly different from the band, and the diversion is more than welcome.

New EP A Fine Mess is the off-cuts from last year's full-length and – perhaps because of its short nature at just five tracks – possibly their best post-hiatus release yet.

What’s disappointing about A Fine Mess is not just that the songs are unremarkable but also that they don’t deviate from the band’s usual approach in any notable way.

A Fine Mess is just that—scattered outtakes from producer Dave Fridmann's (The Flaming Lips) stellar work with the band from the previous year.

While it's a little undercooked compared to the songs that appeared on Marauder, the EP may still please fans wanting more of that album's vibe.

Culled from last year’s Marauder sessions with Dave Fridmann, there’s still a sense that the production actively tries to disrupt what Interpol does well.

Ultimately, A Fine Mess is a subpar offering that sounds like you’d imagine it to: a handful of B-sides with varying degrees of enjoyment, made worse by a myriad of problems.
Now if this isnt the most appropriately titled record ive ever seen
*boyish chuckling insues*
A little bit better than the actual album, but not by much. These songs are still pretty average, especially for Interpol. Feels like they could have made them in their sleep back in the day.
At least it sounds a bit better in my opinion.
Came out and really didn't make that lot of noise, but coming back to it... It's kinda enjoyable.
