Turn On The Bright Lights |
|
Review by Dan Tallis. "Surprise indeed when a band you've never heard of suddenly re-establishes your faith in the wonder of music."
"Interpol has an extraordinarily commanding presence for a band releasing its debut album," by Eric Greenwood.
Rated 4.5 of 5 by Andy Frankowski. "Each song is delicately stripped and rebuilt as if it was a musical puzzle which was smashed and then remade."
"Some websites are hailing this band as rock's next great thing, and while I'm not totally convinced, this is an extremely impressive debut," by Andrew Gaerig.
"The range of tone that the band exhibits in the early tracks begins to fall flat in the album's second half," by Clay Risen
"'Turn on the Bright Lights' is the album modern followers of post-punk have been waiting for," by Devon Powers.
"I think Interpol are my new favorite New York rock underground band," by Scott Seward
"There's little here that suggests Interpol has a game-plan for moving beyond the scope of their influences," by George Zahora.
"Interpol bounces from hazy gloom to uptempo desperation without so much as even batting an eye," by Michael Crumsho.
Rated 9.5 out of 10 by Eric Carr, "there's no getting around that Turn On the Bright Lights is an incredibly powerful and affecting album."
