I thought this would be about a Spanish criminal wanted by Interpol or something

Basically you should download and keep their first two albums. Turn on the Bright Lights is quintessential album of the whole post-punk/garage rock revival. "Obstacle 1" and "The New" are my favorite songs of all time.

I can't ****ing wait. Turn on the Bright Lights is one my favorite albums ever. Banks' last album was good too.

Has anyone listened to it? I am really loving the guitars on this album

This album is a welcome return to form. I would say it's their best album since Antics. It has great replay value and some songs are stuck in my head for a few days already.

81 on Metacritic with 8 reviews; I know it will drop to lower 70's but nothing but praise so far. This is the only album I've been listening to this past week. So many standouts: "My Desire" and "Tidal Wave" sound anthemic and "All the Rage Back Home" is already one of my favorite Interpol songs.
