My friend saw them and said Paul wasn't the best live vocalist... I haven't really looked at any videos. Great in studio though.

TOTBL is one of the best albums of the decade hands down. Antics is inconsistant but has some stunning songs within it, and OLTA i think is a return to form - really enjoyed it. Although I must admit havent listened to it for a while... if i want an Interpol fix i tend to turn to TOTBL or Evil, Public Pervert or A Time To Be Small

I agree that TOTBL is their best, and I think OLTA is miles ahead of Antics. In fact, outside of Evil, I can say that I thoroughly dislike Antics. Pace is the Trick = Underrated.

I would say Antics is Interpol trying to really hit the mainstream with accessible tunes, and as a result the album suffers. Interpol are at their best when making layered, texturised, measured music - something Antics lacks.

That said, i wouldnt say its a terrible album, i'd still take it over half the stuff being churned out, and it definately has its moments - in fact Public Pervert, Evil and A Time To Be Small are 3 of my favourite songs Interpol have ever done.

I can't believe you guys don't appreciate the epicness of Take you on a cruise...

Good but not one of my favorites.

Interpol is the best when you listen with a pair of headphones that give you that huge bass boost.

I never got their 3rd album because I heard it wasnt all that great, and I found Antics dissapointing. But yeh Interpol isnt a great live band judging by the footage ive seen of them.

OLTA is definitely worth checking out if you like TOTBL.

You really should judge an album through your own ears
