referencing Turn On The Bright Lights, CD, Album, OLE 545-2

I'd like to consider this a comment rather than a review. I don't expect anyone else to share my tastes. I think that this album represents a stellar debut. It's impossible to state that without acknowledging the popular and extensive criticism that Interpol is repackaging an older sound. They certainly owe a debt to Joy Division, The Sound, The Chameleons. But they bring much to the table in a skill for memorable tunes and effective arrangements. This album is solid to a degree that is positively rare. For what it's worth, highly recommended for anyone who likes the smoky, spiky rock music of the early eighties post punk.
