I picked up the new Interpol disc today. Better than the first disc, I'd have to say. They sound even more like The Smiths on this disc, so maybe that's why I have a greater affinity to it, particularly on tracks like "Slow Hands" and "Narc". "A Time to Be So Small" and "Take You On a Cruise" are currently standing out as my favourites. The former wallowing in a nice melancholy darkness, while the latter is downright hopeful and happy for this usually downcast band.
I've also been listening to the new U2 single, "Vertigo", and um...well, it's interesting. I haven't quite fully formed an opininion on it yet. I didn't like it to begin with, but it's growing on me. I like the guitars, and it seems like they're heading in the right direction in trying to rock, but something about it just doesn't seem to be firing right. It's an alright song, but for some reason it doesn't sound like U2. Maybe I just need to hear it in context of the new album.
