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

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'
'Our Love To Admire', 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.

'Our Love To Admire', 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 harmony accompanied by Bank's seductive vocals about his alleged cocaine abuse. Fans will be relieved to know that the quirky lyrical innovations are still present with lines such as "feathers bend like trees" and "you look like a daisy in my lazy eye", which never fail to bring a smile.
Like with all of Interpol's records, they need to be listened to more than once or twice to gain a full appreciation of the music, the songs develop and evolve over each play to form a album with such intensity and passion which is so sparse in modern music. Cynical comparisons between Joy Division have long been lost as the band have formed their own style and continue to surprise listeners with their originality.
Advantages: Great melodic songs mixing with a few higher tempo numbers Disadvantages: repetitive towards end of album
Interpol follow up there antics album with ourlovetoadmire 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 ...

Album Notes
'Our Love To Admire' is the third album from New York indie rockers Interpol. Returning with a broader sound to compliment Paul Banks's often surreal, obtuse lyrics, this album is by far their most focused effort yet, and should help Interpol establish themselves as a major force in indie music. Includes the single 'The Heinrich Maneuver'.
