Interpol played an almost-to-sold-out Hollywood Bowl last fall......and the upcoming show there is like not even half sold. /SHRUG
Although I don't mind seeing shade thrown at Interpol for the choice they made, I honestly do not think the low ticket sales have anything at all to do with their newest album and it's reception. I think fans are voting with their wallets so-to-speak and showing their disapproval of Morrissey.
I need to re-visit this. Didn’t really care for it much initially but maybe that opinion will change now that time has passed.
Marauder is a phenomenal album. I also love the b-sides from the Fine Mess EP that almost made the cut for the album "Real Life" and "The Weekend". Honestly, I still listen to this album all the time.
This is the song that got initially got me hooked in to the album. It remains my favourite on the album. I hadn't ever heard Interpol use some of those tricks before and it kind of allowed me to get into the "okay, this is not traditional Interpol - let's judge this with a new lens" and the whole album kind of clicked once I let go of what I expected/initially hoped it would sound like
yea a couple of those songs are way too strong to be b-sides for sure, especially the weekend. favorite song tho would have to be flight of fancy.
