"Rather than being one more shot for glory "Interpol" is a more subtle, sombre affair signalling Carlos' exit from the band. By no means easy listening, it is very much their 'difficult' album with the band often sounding like they're playing with one hand behind their back, it is nonetheless a tr..."  [+]  Reply

"Beautiful. I can't believe music critics have listened to the same record. Shame on them. No, I pity them. You've got to be quite a sad person to hate this. Their sudden liking for his official ADZ release was even more shamelessly ridiculous."  Reply

"An eclectic mix of musical genres (world music, free jazz, reggae/dub) performed on an eclectic mix of odd instruments, including traditional African and Asian percussion instruments. Very experimental music, but it's not entirely avant-garde as there is some structure to the songs provided by th..."  [+]  Reply

"In the path to Melody Nelson (which was the album I actually wanted to listen) I stumbled across this amazing pop gem, this guy has an amzing musical sense and every song of the album benefits of it with catchy arrangements and sweet, lovable melodies that stuck in your head for days all along, c..."  [+]  Reply

"What’s the best album no one has heard of ? Music snobs have preached the the virtues of this album for decades and with good reason. Coming out in 69 this album was swamped by the land mark releases from The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin and very much suffered as the hippie summer of ..."  [+]  Reply

"Having much, much less swing than Snivilization, I don't get why this one is on top. On the first two tracks they rely on a very dull and basic form of a Chemical Brothers styled drum loop, so that all the enjoyment has to be found in the ambience, which isn't that good in the first place, and wh..."  [+]  Reply

"I personally like this album better than his last "something more than free". It seems in step with his growing maturity as a songwriter. If we were Vampires is one of the best songs he's written."  Reply
