Rolling into the top 3, my nr 3 of my top 10 albums of 2007!Band: InterpolTitle: Our Love to AdmireBest Track: Pioneer to the FallsBest Line: “I felt you so much today. I know you try, you try, straight into my heart.”Trivia: Third album by Interpol First Single was “The Heinrich Maneuver” Saw them live at Paradiso and the 013 this yearWhen I first listened to this album I posted on the brilliance of it. Since then, I've read a lot of other opinions, and a lot of people seemed disappointed with it, and it got quite some flack. Well, I'm sticking by my opinion, and I think it is a great album. The build-up of atmosphere is so beautiful, and it seems as if more than ever the instruments just melt into this one sound. Yes, the guitar hooks may be not as present as on other albums, so the catchiness factor of stuff like "Evil" or "Slow Hands" is probably absent, but instead you get an album with this brooding, simmering angst. From the sneering of "How are things on the West Coast?", to the apologetic "Nobody told you, that I could just waltz through, and shake up your style", to the realization of "but there are days in this life, when you see the teeth marks of time, two lovers divide". The video is of their Lowlands performance of their opener "Pioneer to the Falls", which perhaps is the best song they ever made. It constantly adds and substracts instruments, and changes the role and pace of the instruments, which is combined with passages Banks almost does without any help from the other three, and in a text where they get the emotional punch of post-punk absolutely right. A shivering, emotional, epic that should stand the test of time if there is any justice." This is not a retread of Antics, it is a massive upgrade, an album where the songwriting, production and arrangements blow even Antics’ highpoints like “C’Mere” and “Slow Hands” out of the water."- Uncut"But ‘Our Love To Admire’ finds its true strength as a whole. From its opening notes to its final breath, the album’s enveloping atmospherics seep into the senses, giving the everyday a film noir quality."- NME"Interpol have raised the bar once again, something they’re making quite the habit of."- Drowned in Sound
