Though Turn on the Bright Lights was the best album of 2002, I’ll not hesitate to say that, barring some otherworldly competition, Antics looks to be the best album of 2004.
The album feels confident and spacious where Bright Lights felt claustrophobic.
Interpol have produced a soaring, inventive album that, while incorporating the deliciously dark atmosphere of Turn On The Bright Lights, merely uses it as a base to create more ambitious, warmer soundscapes.
There are enough new wrinkles in the quartet’s tailored suits to keep things from getting too redundant.
This is cut to perfection: exhilarating, morbid, romantic, cool.
Antics achieves a tunefulness that warms and broadens Interpol's music, and helps them establish an identity distinct from their dolorous influences.
The truth ... is that they will never make a record as special as the debut. However, following it with one that is merely very good is no crime.
The effort is there, that can't be denied, and the instruments are just as good as the debut. But if you want true Interpol, stick with Turn On The Bright Lights.
These songs feel heavy and significant enough—due to dynamic production and hooky choruses—even if we don’t know exactly what they mean.
Bro think he Joy Division.
Fr though this is pretty good not a single bad song on here some are better than others obviously but they all aren't that far apart from each other if I had to pick the worst one I’ll say Next Exit but this is some good shit.
