    Another release that completely took over the player for a good year upon release. Elements of Talking Heads, Radiohead, The Cure, Joy Division yes, but this album was so different with its off-kilter vocal delivery and unique emotional content. this was released after 911 so it just felt right ("NYC"). An inspired album, and can stand the test of time.

      The weakness of this LP is the lyrics. Dude is trying too hard but not communicating.

        Quite frankly, a bad album that was produced badly and pressed at an even lower standard. I have heard multiple vinyl versions of this played around the city and they are all hideous sounding.

          I'd like to consider this a comment rather than a review. I don't expect anyone else to share my tastes. I think that this album represents a stellar debut. It's impossible to state that without acknowledging the popular and extensive criticism that Interpol is repackaging an older sound. They certainly owe a debt to Joy Division, The Sound, The Chameleons. But they bring much to the table in a skill for memorable tunes and effective arrangements. This album is solid to a degree that is positively rare. For what it's worth, highly recommended for anyone who likes the smoky, spiky rock music of the early eighties post punk.
