It's pretty good. I thought and thought and thought about the best way to describe it. Instead of writing some long, drawn-out album review like I usually do, I will say only this:
The new Interpol album sounds like Joy Division, The Cure, and Radiohead packed into one band, and then doused with a bucket of music comprised of The Doors’ The End and The Crystal Ship.
Whether that does anything for you is beyond me, but that's how I felt. I could say more from a technical standpoint (like "these guys are still addicted to reverb" and "all of the songs are in minor keys"), but I won't. And lucky me, I get to see Interpol tomorrow night. Report to follow...

Where is your review? If I have to write it I will, but it will mostly focus on the horribleness of Liars and simply say that Interpol was fantastic.

No particleman, not the strip club...I'm the one that you met at the free clinic last week. Did that "problem" clear up, by the way?
