El Pintor - Interpol

I LOVE Interpol!  That being said, I'll try not to make this review too biased.  After their last album in 2010 I was honestly not looking forward to any new material.  Their self titled album Interpol was not as much as a success as I had hoped and was actually a little disappointing compared to their material before.  I listened to this album on a whim and I'm glad I did.  I feel like they really went back a bit to their roots and incorporated it into their new talents!  If I would have to describe this album very shortly I would say it is short and very, very sweet like the cupcakes girls sell at schools trying to save up money for hell knows what.  You don't know how the hell it got made but you're super glad it did!

Songs to check out:

~All The Rage Back Home: The titular song for this album, I immediately fell in love with it.  I don't know how to describe this song, you'll just have to listen to it!
~Same Town, New Story: A easy going song that has a very Interpol-ish guitar and really good lyrical representation.
~Everything Is Wrong: A fun song to listen to, harmony between all instruments make it pretty easy to listen to.

Although I think Interpol is an acquired taste, I think they really excelled at making this album more accessible to a larger crowd.  This makes me happy because I finally think Interpol is receiving the attention they deserve as a band.  They excelled at portraying their style and really showing their personality as a group in this work.  Definitely suggest this album!  If you're a fan of listening to new, unique music I think you will really enjoy this album.
