Interpol Our Love To Admire Full Album Torrent

Not much of an “anniversary” reissue. It seems the only motivation for releasing it was to get the vinyl back in print, as the 2007 vinyl release commands insane prices on the used market, despite complaints about the mastering (on the US version, anyway). No extra tracks, the same packaging.it just comes with the Live at the Astoria DVD, instead of the CD version of the album that the 2007 vinyl came with. The remastering is unlikely to silence fans who didn’t like the mastering of the 2007 vinyl. It’s different, but still lacks punch on both the high-end and low-end. I honestly can’t say it’s better or worse than the 2007 US vinyl—just different, and still inferior to the sonic range of the CD.

The live DVD captures the band as they were at the time: worn out, strung out, or whatever their problem was. Search YouTube for plenty of examples of how tight Interpol can be as a live act (or check out the DVD that came with the 10th anniversary reissue of Turn on the Bright Lights). At the Astoria here, they are flat, lacking energy and enthusiasm.

Referencing Our Love To Admire, 2xLP, Album, Ltd, RE, RM, 10t, B0026638-01 LMAO at these internet flippers trying to shuck this for $100 on here. Especially when the quality of this pressing SUCKS compared to the standard black version.

Carlos D looks visibly frustrated with how loose the rest of the band are playing. During both “Obstacle 1” and “Public Pervert,” the camera catches him in moments of frustration as he has to wait for Banks and Kessler to resume on guitar after they missed some notes and cues. This is definitely the beginning of the end for Carlos, and it shows. It’s sad because this was his last tour with the band. He stuck with them to record 2010’s self-titled LP, but didn’t join them on the tour for that record. So, at least the vinyl is back in print and fans who want this album (which has aged rather nicely) in their vinyl collection without having to pay $100 or more.

That’s the best that can be said for this set, which missed the opportunity to include at least one known outtake that ended up as a b-side, or the chance to include the first vinyl pressing of the Live EP (which was taken from the same sub-par Astoria show, but still, that’s what anniversary sets should be about). What I had really hoped for was that Matador would put this thing out. The credits on both the 2007 and 2017 releases state that Interpol own the copyright on this recording, and licensed it for release to Capitol. That makes me think they could have potentially licensed it for release to Matador instead, which would have been nice for two reasons. One, the entirety of the band’s catalog would then be available on Matador vinyl, as Interpol returned to their original label after this major-label release sold less than their first two albums on Matador and generally failed to set the world on fire. Second, Matador vinyl is almost always top-notch.

As it is, this “remastered” version still won’t make fans of Interpol on vinyl happy, other than the fact that they can now complete their Interpol vinyl LP collection without spending way too much. LMAO at these internet flippers trying to shuck this for $100 on here. Especially when the quality of this pressing SUCKS compared to the standard black version. That's because colored vinyl is gimmicky crap, usually poorly manufactured and of poor quality. Nothing more than foolish collector's bait to falsely justify extortionist prices for something that offers no return investment whatsoever. I paid $22 for my 10th anniversary black vinyl copy and it sounds rich and lively.something the colored vinyl copy I play-tested most definitely does not. A fool and his money are soon parted.
