characterised by descending guitar lines, mournful melodica, and a frontman that sounds not so much suicidal as already decaying. Interpol, however, have never been shy of basking in melancholy, and Our Love to Admire is an album that just exults in it. Newly bolstered by funereal keyboards, Our Love to Admire feels full and rich where previous Interpol albums sometimes felt gaunt and bony. The old themes remain, however: emptiness, dislocation, and a rather caddish attitude to romance, as encapsulated on "No I in Threesome" or the pounding, sarcastic "The Heinrich Maneuver", a sour kiss-off to an ex-lover that sees frontman Paul Banks asking "How are things on the West Coast?/ I hear youre moving real fine" atop taut, stabbing bass. Further in, the band experiments with some more sprawling, elaborate song structures. The excellent "Mammoth" locks into a driving groove that! s most uncharacteristic for Interpol, Daniel Kessler trying out riff after riff like hes dressing for some important social occasion, while the climactic "The Lighthouse" is a bare wisp of ambient guitar that might be the bands stateliest, grandest moment to date. -- Louis Pattison

Interpol follow up there antics album with our love to admire and it is every bit as cool as its predercessor.
The album kicks of with the haunting melodic sounds of "pioneer to the falls" with a looping drum beat. this swiftly followed by a song about the dark thoughts of man to try and get his woman into a threesome with oppropriately named "no i in threesome". The middle section of the album as somemore tempo with single releases of "Heinrich Maneuver" with some riping jerky riffs on guitar and "mammoth" with its looping beat and rythm.
Interpols trademark huanting soungs and vocals remain consistant throught the album no more so in than in the penultimate track "the lighthouse". The whole sounds just bring alive the thoughts of loney lighthouse in the fog on a grey evening. There is the slight sense they run out of original ideas towards the back but this is still a great album. This album was one of the ones i listened to the most last year ones it has you in its grip there is no letting go.
Advantages: The powerful, heartfelt sounds of 'Rest My Chemistry' and 'Mammouth' Disadvantages: 'Heinrich Maneuver' fails to successfully represent the masterpiece that is 'Our Love To Admire'
'OurLoveToAdmire', Interpol's highly awaited third album progresses from the subdued, melancholic tones of 'Turn on the Bright Lights' to a noticeably mainstream-pleasing array of catchy anthems and alluring melodies. This is a band who have matured and developed their sound over the years unlike so many who have regurgitated the same monotonous material over time and time again.
Tracks such as 'The Heinrich Maneuver' and 'All Fired Up' clearly reveal that the band want to attract a new audience with the fast pace and pounding guitars whilst the atmospheric 'Pioneer to the Falls' reassures hardcore fans that the ghostly harmonies and evocative tensions are still present.
The stand out track on the album has to be the magnificent 'Rest My Chemistry' which begins with an eerie synth intro and quickly explodes into slow, melodic ...

Album Notes
Interpol: Carlos D., Daniel Kessler, Paul Banks , Samuel Fogarino. Although many fans have been waiting around for Interpol to replicate the magic of their 2002 debut TURN ON THE BRIGHT LIGHTS, the band deserves credit for not overtly aping the formula of that album. On 2007's OUR LOVE TO ADMIRE, as on the group's sophomore effort ANTICS, Interpol endeavor to stretch the fabric of their classic 1980s post-punk sound while leaning toward straightforward pop territory. They succeed, to a large degree, thanks to a major label budget (the band moved to Capitol for this release) and a strong batch of material. None of this is to say that Interpol aren't still rooted in the dark dramatics of Joy Division, the band's primary influence, as the gloomy, churning "Pace is the Trick" and "Wrecking Ball" prove. But the upbeat feel of "The Heinrich Maneuver" and the thumping groove and catchy hooks of "No I in Threesome" show a fresher-faced Interpol, as do the ambitious production flourishes of tunes like opener "Pioneer to the Falls." The album's nicest surprise comes at the end: "The Lighthouse" is a spare, emotionally affecting song, lovely and haunting, illustrating--as the rest of the album does--the band's continued ability to captivate.
Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (p.91) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "OUR LOVE TO ADMIRE is their version of R.E.M.'s FABLES OF THE RECONSTRUCTION....[A] solid, understated third album that digs in..." Entertainment Weekly (p.66) - "The outcome is akin to an artistic explosion....They've crowded this album with unexpected rhythmic feints..." -- Grade: A- Uncut (p.86) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[C]lean, sleek, armour-plated missiles, handling them all the time with an assured military swagger." Alternative Press (p.162) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he sheer diligence and finesse they've nurtured into these rich evening anthems is as undeniable as the talent with which the songs are delivered." CMJ (p.42) - "Interpol devilishly fuses their love for the macabre with richly textured instrumentals."
