one of my biggest frustrations is when critical outlets suddenly abandon bands they praised so highly in the past. two big examples of this are the strokes and interpol. but uh, after hearing these new singles, now i feel like everyone's being too generous to interpol, which i never thought i would feel. all three singles feel like a mess to me honestly, i have no hope for this album even though i wish i did. they sound confused on how to make a groove that works. idk, i hope it grows on me significantly but this might be my least favorite of theirs so far.
I hope to god that this is actually good. interpol has so much potential. it's a shame that none of their other stuff even comes close to bright lights.
