15. Interpol - Interpol
Interpol's self-titled fourth album finds them returning to the motif that made them such an exciting and intriguing band. Released on their original label home at Matador, Interpol's color scheme is back down to the bare, gloomy depths that I love. I guess this in reply to the disappointment of their 2007 Our Love To Admire. The mood here ranges from the fierce to the funereal, ultimately standing as one of the band's darker, jagged, ethereal atmosphere. The emphasis on the rhythm section makes these ten songs feel much more animated and punchy, which seems almost ironic given the recent departure of bassist Carlos D. Summer Well is my pick. Yet while Interpol doesn't quite recapture the magic I experienced on their debut, it offers a trip into the band's darker, more intriguing corners. "Just like the tailored suits that they've donned since 2002, Interpol wears nuance quite well".
