Interpol

New album is better than "El Pintor", but not by much, i think this band has said all it had to...

I can't.

I appreciate El Pintor quite a bit (always did, also it's personal for me), and I've actually tried with Marauder...

This new album is full of "Everything Is Wrong" and "Malfeasance" class songs... Altogether it virtually holds no staying power. Also, it tends to sound the most like Paul's solo material out of any newer Interpol. This isn't good for me. Maybe it's my attention span, the mixing, and/or my need for some fucking hooks, but the well is dry.

I think even Paul's solo albums (specially "Banks") sound better and are more interesting than "Marauder".

The band recorded two classic albums and then great songs, but on every release they sound more and more uninspired and they are becoming repetitive;at least Paul experimented a lot in "Banks".
The new album does nothing for me; i felt the same way about "El Pintor", i wanted to like that album so bad (and i loved "All the way back home"), but i ended up indifferent towards it, "Marauder" sounds to me like another "meh" release by them.
