Same, the first is packed full of tunes and is a shining album out of all the other stuff released by the british guitar bands popular at the time but the 2nd just seemed a bit stale most of the time, bit off more than they could chew i think. Great opener though.
I'll probably pick this up regardless though.

The first album (although still taking lots of influences) is way different to the slew of guitar bands that exploded at the time. Have you heard the album?

Bloc Party are nothing like those Interpol idiots. They took Joy Division and actually did something to it.

Pretty sure Interpol was nothing like Interpol before their last album...

Bloc Party, The Strokes, Interpol, Editors, they all sound the same now. For shame.
