Interpol - Our Love to Admire

The main reason why Antics was such a non-event for me when compared to Turn on the Bright Lights was, I think, that whereas Bright Lights chimed and rang, Antics plodded. Considered across that dimension, Our Love to Admire plots something of a middle course between its two predecessors, and so it's not surprising that it's somewhere between them in terms of quality, too...Interpol are good at what they do, but the problem is that they've been good at it from the start - and they were better, then.
