Interpol - Marauder (August 24, 2018) Album • Page 7

i just picked this up finally

 

Someone on Reddit shared this interview from a little while ago which mentions the songs and how they will probably see the light of day:

Interpol // Interview | LONDON IN STEREO

Very excited about hopefully hearing studio versions of "Real Life" and hopefully "The Weekend", but the weird little interludes just seem more and more pointless to me.

 

Got to see them play live tonight and they were incredible! Sam's groove is impeccable. I wish they would have played another off Marauder, but other than that great set list.

 

I finally got around to listening to this and it's actually really good. Excited to have a solid CD from them again. I didn't like their self titled or OLTA.

 

That was a super good read and I agree with his list.

 

New single, “Fine Mess” out today.

 

This thing still has not found its way out of my usual rotation.

 

Single is pretty great! Was just thinking about them. Is this a b-side?

 

Apparently they are releasing a 5-song EP tomorrow morning at 10 AM EST.

Fine Mess
No Big Deal
Real Life
The Weekend
Thrones

I am very excited about hearing these. I have been desperate to get my hands on Real Life & The Weekend since they were both mentioned around the release of Marauder.

 

I was wrong. The EP drops May 17th, but one new song today - The Weekend.

 

I loved Fine Mess. I listened at work to The Weekend but was kind of distracted. Will probably just wait for the full release now

 

I can't lie, I am disappointed, because the main thing I was looking forward to with this EP was finally getting a studio version of "Real Life", and I really thought the whole EP was dropping today. "The Weekend" is pretty good, but I don't think it is better than any of the real songs on Marauder, or "Fine Mess".

Still excited for the EP, just disappointed that I have to wait 2 more months.

 

Excited for this! Spun Marauder the other week, still love it.

 

um

what the fuck, guys?

Morrissey Announces Tour With Interpol

At least they're not headlining so you can leave before the bigoted fucking crank they're inexplicably supporting comes on

 

Yeah hard pass on that one.

 

love too be in a band and tour the US with a fascist

 

What did everyone think of the EP? Thought this would've generated some buzz in here

 

I thought it was just alright. Pretty forgettable, really.

 

what they deserve imo

 

Extremely disappointed in them right now. Hoping that they change course.

 

Yeah a forgettable collection of bsides from what was a damn amazing album.

 

I was talking about their actions with Morrissey, nothing to do with their music.

 

Yeah I know wasn’t a personal response just talking about the EP in general :)

 

you love to see it

I'd say I feel sorry for them opening for a washed-up old racist whose tour they're on is selling like absolute dogshit but they knew who they were getting involved with when they announced the tour so uh... find your way out of THAT fine mess, guys. fuck y'all

 

From the article:
"Maybe fans are scorned from the multitude of cancelations in years’ past. Or, they’re just not that into his tour mates’ new album."

Gotta love the writer suggesting low ticket sales on Interpol
