So, sure enough, one could play the similarity game with this record all day and bring up a pile of bands. The other fleeting comparisons one can one whip up when talking about Interpol are several - roughly the same amount that can be conjured when talking about any other guitar/drums/vocals band formed since the '90s. Save for a couple vocal tics, that's where the obvious parallels end. The music made by both bands explores the vast space between black and white and produces something pained, deftly penetrating, and beautiful. Many are too quick to classify Interpol as mimics and lose out on discovering that little more than an allusion is being made. One might go into a review like this one wondering how many words will pass before Joy Division is brought up.
