Jul 31, 2022This album grew on me quite a bit with repeated listens. It is a bit plodding at times, but there are also plenty of delightful moments and surprises. Favorite tracks: Toni, Something Changed, Renegade Hearts, Greenwich, and Gran Hotel.

Jul 21, 2022The first 8 songs on this album are phenomenal, layered, atmospheric... up there with Interpols best. Way better than Maurader. I would put this album in the same league as there self titled - not quite at as good as Our Love to Admire but better than El Pintor. Reward with repeat listening, definitely a grower. Favorite track: The Passenger - some of Paul Banks best lyrics.

Aug 1, 2022The Other Side of Make Believe is an Interpol ready for the new age. Itβs proved they can move onto album seven β even when the world was forcing everyone apart β and amidst side projects and other endeavours, the trio are a staple the world would do better to relish in since they deliver a high quality every time without sacrificing any of that brooding integrity we all so know and love.

Jul 20, 2022The Other Side of Make-Believe maintains the charm and intrigue that made Interpol indie darlings 20 years ago, but it also finds the band aging gracefully β these brooding New York boys are now men who embrace their emotions.

Jul 19, 2022It plays to their strengths in most places and often challenges them to retain the will to be original and innovative in their established modus.
