It’s a real shame that the new Interpol album didn’t depart from the first two albums or in fact maintain the same quality. I’ve listened to t he album a good few times and nothing is sticking out. All the songs blend into the same background melodies.

The album sounds old and tired with just a few tracks sticking out, such as “The Scale” and “All Fired Up” pushing you to play them again. This album is like a badly taped recording of the previous two albums. Maybe not being on a major label suited these guys more?

The latest Michael Moore documentary mixes facts with touchy feely scenes and “wow, I did not know that” moments. Done almost like an infomercial with Moore as the straight guy amazed at the facts others tell him. Perfect bubblegum television but as usual quite one-sided. Moore makes France look like a paradise but has he seen how hard it is to get a job there so you can avail of all the benefits?

Go watch this but remain sceptical. Still a nice insight the system that Mary Harney is trying to create with her own health “reforms”.
