Music reviews of Antics: The Special Edition
Music Review: Favorite New York Band lightens their tone
Rating: 4 Stars
Even though Interpol's 2001 release, "Turn On the Bright Lights," was brilliant, it had some of the most grating and cruel lyrics I'd ever heard. It's hard to listen to a song about a friend who likes to carve people up, or an outcast girl who was the Paul Bank's catatonic sex toy (weird).
Thankfully, Interpol always has room to improve, and their second album is a wonder. "Antics" is one of the most memorable albums of the decade, featuring excellent songs of love for girls who just haven't been looking in Bank's direction. Since Interpol's sound is based on the dark band Joy Division, there are many, many dark songs about sex and public prostitutes, such as "NARC" and "Take You On a Cruise." And Banks' need for vengeance against the hollow romance of unfaithful lovers really shines in the upbeat neo-punk song "Slow Hands." He really shows his insight with lyrics of anger against pole dancers, such as "We slow hands/killer for hire/you know not yourself." While it's not the biggest show of angst, especially in comparison to Nirvana, Banks' lyrics are much more interesting in this album than "Turn On the Bright Lights."
More importantly, Interpol is also showing a more political side in their songs, especially with the song "Not Even Jail." The drums really plod on a cool disco beat surrounded by deafening guitars, as Banks sings about criminals who make promises not to do wrong in the face of the uncompromising police.
Most notable, however, is Interpol's first switch to try to write songs about healthier love relationships. "C'mere" is one of the most beautiful and upbeat neo-punk rock songs about love. There's something romantic about Banks' when he sings "It's way too late to be this locked inside ourselves/The trouble is that you're in love with someone else/It should be me/Oh, it should be me".
And Interpol is starting to show insight in their analysis of failed love. Banks' last song, "A Time To Be So Small," is a song about girls who long for parents who died. Perhaps Interpol really wants to tell people to seek to find more realistic relationships with this album. Their craftsmanship is improving steadily, and this album proves that they are one of the more intriguing New York bands around.
