We saw Interpol at MSG last night...

And Jesus Christ on a motorbike, HOW SHIT ARE THEIR NEW SONGS.

Here is some shitty fan video to validate this statement.



The problem with "Serious Interpol" is that instead of just writing a slighty weepy ballad and calling it a day, they basically just write an Interpol song without any good hooks or guitar parts. It's like they purposely write shit songs instead of good poppy ones like they're capable of. Look at what happens when they play a song that's not horrible:



OMG! GOOD GUITAR PARTS! CATCHY CHORUS! AMAZING!

Interpol, you know what you have to do.

Interpol are back! Back!! Back!!!

Albeit not as urgently back! Back!! BACK!!! as some artists recently, but back nonetheless. They have a new single, "The Heinrich Maneuver" (ah, Interpol), which sounds like every other song they've ever written--i.e. BRILLIANT.

Other news, apart from Carlos' poofy hairdo, is the "Heinrich Maneuver" video.

...AMAZING. Though we kind of saw the end coming. Carlos looks pretty smug about it though. Eh, Carlos?
