Youtube interpol turn on the bright lights album

Let's: there's another Manchester band at the heart of 'Say Hello to the Angels,' but that heart is bookended by a beginning and end that approaches the agitated squall of Fugazi the torchy, elegiac 'Leif Erikson' plays out like a missing scene from the Afghan Whigs' Gentlemen the upper-register refrain near the close of 'Obstacle 1' channels Shudder to Think. However, this record is a special case slaying the albatross this band has been unfairly strangled by is urgent and key. It could be a detrimental thing to do, especially when this record is so spellbinding and doesn't deserve to be mottled with such bilge. So, sure enough, one could play the similarity game with this record all day and bring up a pile of bands. The other fleeting comparisons one can one whip up when talking about Interpol are several - roughly the same amount that can be conjured when talking about any other guitar/drums/vocals band formed since the '90s. Save for a couple vocal tics, that's where the obvious parallels end. The music made by both bands explores the vast space between black and white and produces something pained, deftly penetrating, and beautiful. Many are too quick to classify Interpol as mimics and lose out on discovering that little more than an allusion is being made. One might go into a review like this one wondering how many words will pass before Joy Division is brought up.
