» Interpol - Antics

I was terribly skeptical about Interpol's second album: Antics. I heard some of the new tracks at the record store a few months back, and I was like: well...not quite what I expected. So after a little trip to Target yesterday, I caved in, and bought the God damned thing. I should've known better, listening to the first two tracks wasn't good enough. And let me tell you, what a piece of art! This sophomore effort is more than a second album. It's not that they used up the same formula, but like, they improved it. A much more mature album, at least musically. So many catchy melodies and arrangements. I'm hooked, because IT IS GOOD! Perhaps now I'll sing something else besides "...we got two hundred couches for you to sleep tonight..."
