IS MY TIMING THAT FLAWED?




Two bands who were essentially the same (Joy Division) are coming back at the same time with new albums. We have heard the first tracks from these albums and we like them. To be honest I've listened to the Editors one a lot more than the Interpol one but I really like the Editors one (sorry the quality isn't that great).

I think Interpol probably have more to prove as they're on their third album but so many bands don't get a chance past the second effort so maybe Interpol are in the clear. It's just that the second album didn't sound that much different from the first.

Anyway, someone else can decide as I'm obviously terrible at making decisions for myself.

MP3: Interpol - The Heinrich Maneuver
MP3: Editors - Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors

Buy Interpol
Buy Editors



P.S. My father was actually the first person who told me about the smokers at the hospitals. He saw an old man with a drip wearing a robe smoking in the hospital car park. He said it was pretty sad too.

Joy Division have a new lp too - Martin Hannett's ("the post-punk Phil Spector" according to the liner notes) personal mixes...

I like Interpol for some reason...
