interpolfannycJul 7, 2007since i'm a pretty ferocious follower of interpol's past works, i have given this album 20 solid listens so far to see whether i could connect with it like i did with their past two LPs. unfortunately, i remain highly disappointed. not the direction i personally envisioned them taking, but it could just be my biased ear.

YampierM.Jul 9, 2007Our Love to Admire lacks everything that made Interpol exciting and relevent. Instead it's filled with pointless songs that never evolve into anything substantial. The urgency and focus present in the previous albums is not only gone, but it's hard to believe that they were made by the same band. At best Our Love to Admire is a mediocre collection of b-sides.

KayR.Jul 12, 2007It really does sound like the band is out of ideas -- and any they had have been pilfered and done better by Editors.

AllanDJul 29, 2007Disappointing album. Don't waste your time. New fans, compare to their first album "Turn on the Bright Lights" which is actually good.

KennethC.Oct 14, 2007I can't believe we waited for this. The mystery that was once interpol seems to have finally come to light. Dark shape shifting lyrics have given way to undercooked half sarcastic lyrics. The music seems to be exactly what one might expect and the melodies are mediocre at best.

TommyLJul 7, 2007Possibly the most overrated band of our time. Some of the most boring and repetitive music I've ever had the misfortunate pleasure of hearing.

The black-clad New York quartet still sounds inflexibly menacing, grasping tighter than ever to its doomy post-punk influences and delving further into frontman Paul Banks's emotional unrest.
-
Our Love to Admire fleshes out the dark edges of Interpol's sound to create a polished, muscular-sounding record that teems with life and bristling potency.
-
With giant gyrating reverberated guitars and a grandiose brass section, this is the sound of a rock band attempting the sweeping gallantry of Sibelius or Tchaikovsky and getting away with it. It represents a smugly victorious ending to what is a phenomenally strong and well-polished album.
