REVIEW: Interpol wins with re-release of debut
Interpol’s debut album “Turn on the Bright Lights” just turned 10 and they commemorated the occasion with a special 10th anniversary reissue.
Even after 10 years, this album is still relevant to all the ‘cool kids’ who are reevaluating purpose and love, whether it is in New York City or the Midwest. “Turn on the Bright Lights” shows that sometimes the only pride you can have is in a city, and you’re not the only one who has felt so sad before.
Interpol spills out emotions most people don’t even want to think about. Most people can relate to feeling lonely, but the subjects and the way Paul Banks (Singer/guitarist) sings in his baritone voice makes it personal and makes it easy for the audience to relate to their own feelings of lonliness. I feel like the only person in the room whenever Interpol is being played.
“Turn on the Bright Lights” is relaxing and melancholy. It is simple but filled with great songwriting. This album really flows — it’s easy to get lost in. All songs are strong, but nothing can compare to the snarky lyrics and cocksure guitar riff in “Obstacle 2.” The way Interpol attacks the theme of sadness in so many different ways, while making each song have its own personality, is extraordinary.
“Turn on the Bright Lights” is great for diehard fans to reminisce or for first time listeners just getting into the band.

The reissue is full of bonuses, demos, and live performances. Each demo gives you new perspective on the final cuts and shows how Interpol had progressed while writing this album. A handful of previously unreleased material is also part of this package.
The album and band have a legacy of helping influence a decade of indie rock. There were a lot of cool bands in New York ten years ago, and even though Interpol wasn’t in the spotlight, at least they were on stage.
