Turn On The Bright Lights

One might go into a review like this one wondering how many words will pass before Joy Division is brought up. In this case, the answer is 16. Many are too quick to classify Interpol as mimics and lose out on discovering that little more than an allusion is being made. The music made by both bands explores the vast space between black and white and produces something pained, deftly penetrating, and beautiful. Save for a couple vocal tics, that's where the obvious parallels end. The other fleeting comparisons one can one whip up when talking about Interpol are several -- roughly the same amount that can be conjured when talking about any other guitar/drums/vocals band formed since the '90s. So, sure enough, one could play the similarity game with this record all day and bring up a pile of bands. It could be a detrimental thing to do, especially when this record is so spellbinding and doesn't deserve to be mottled with such bilge. However, this record is a special case; slaying the albatross this band has been unfairly strangled by is urgent and key. Let's: there's another Manchester band at the heart of "Say Hello to the Angels," but that heart is bookended by a beginning and end that approaches the agitated squall of Fugazi; the torchy, elegiac "Leif Erikson" plays out like a missing scene from the Afghan Whigs' Gentlemen; the upper-register refrain near the close of "Obstacle 1" channels Shudder to Think. This record is no fun at all, the tension is rarely resolved, and -- oh no! -- it isn't exactly revolutionary, though some new shades of gray have been discovered. But you shouldn't allow your perception to be fogged by such considerations when someone has just done it for you and, most importantly, when all this brilliance is waiting to overwhelm you. 

给一个估计全网没人看的Interpol简史视频打了中字……10分钟就能懂的Interpol简史。是一个油管主做的，简单讲了Interpol成员、组团过程、专辑成绩==也许这边有对Interpol组团以来的简史稍感兴趣的？ ……万一呢……？→https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1dk4y1z7j2/

据说这张是 Well-known pleasures :p

曲序正确，原专为11首歌 年份：2002 风格：后朋克复兴(Post-Punk Revival)/独立摇滚(Indie Rock)/另类摇滚(Alternative Rock) 时长：48:54 RYM评分：3.96/5.0——评分人数36033

P4k 9.5 年榜第一 十年榜第20

乐队成立于1997年纽约，由Paul Banks、Daniel Kessler、Carlos Dengler等组成，早期在纽约地下场景活动，经历多次阵容与创作磨合，已通过EP与现场演出积累基础声誉。 这张首作由Peter Katis制作，Gareth Jones参与混音。素材在录音前已完成大部分创作，录音阶段以接近现场演奏方式完成，时间与预算有限，并伴随成员间张力。专辑结构与现场演出形态接近，主唱Paul与吉他手Daniel为主要创作核心。 音乐上通常被归入indie rock与post-punk revival，制作强调低饱和质感与层次化吉他结构。开场曲“Untitled”原本用于现场开场设计。单曲包括“PDA”“Obstacle 1”“NYC”等，其中部分配有音乐视频。作品在英国与美国专辑榜排名中段，但在独立榜单停留时间较长。 评论普遍提到其与Joy Division、The Cure等80年代post-punk以及shoegaze质感的关联，同时也强调其更偏密集编排与更宽的动态展开结构。获得较高评价，Metacritic约81分，并在Pitchfork、NME等年终榜单进入前列。

这些制作使本专既具备地下场景的原始朋克能量，又透露出艺术品般的细腻诗意质感。如果说strokes是后朋复兴迷惘微燥的午后，那Interpol就是这场运动华盖之月下深沉自省的夜晚

白左叉，开始对一些正常的专辑下手了[大哭]估计也就特别神的不敢有质疑，其他的估计都得被叉子欺负

婊叉抛弃刑警，改分成7.0了

流派: 后朋克复兴 个人评分: 9.7/10 毫无疑问最能代表后朋克复兴的一张，能听到Television，Joy Division，Talking Heads太多经典后朋克乐队的影子，以及Pixies和Sonic Youth这些独立摇滚乐队的声音，甚至还有Dream Pop的感觉，算是New Rock Evolution的上限之一，只可惜比起Strokes热度太低

到底是怎么写出来这样的旋律的 神疯了

这。。。逼叉变得有点快啊[惶恐]个人还是很喜欢这专的

新世纪第一个十年非常惊艳的一张，只是十多年过去了，我还没有亮起灯光找到生活的出口。
