New Interpol record "Antics" leaked..

So are you saying you don't understand the concept of a cutout album?

Just means that the record company overestimated the sales figure of an album, and created way more copies than were bought. Thus, the need to sell them as cutouts.

I think we are talking about the same thing…I always thought cds w/ cut-outs were promo cds provided to reps/radio/stores, etc. (i.e., promotional cds, not labeled as promo).

dude, redsock, I love ya, but why bring me in to a "Rhett's an ass, no he isn't" discussion I'm actually completely out of!?! :D

I've got Antics.
(Note my post from the other day in the Spanish version of the 'What Are You Listening To?' thread.)

There are a few minor glitches and it's only in mono but has already sold me on the new one once it's official.

Personally, I think it's much better than TOTBLs. More accesible too so some may like it a bit more. So far, I think my favorite cut is Public Pervert. :roll: Some of my friends prefer Take You On A Cruise. Length Of Love has been around for a long time. For the most part, they are all good.

I haven't bothered with The Libertines one but know the link.

can u post the link for the antics please!?

I've managed to get a hold of an excellant copy of Antics. So far it is some great stuff. Still absorbing all the tracks.

I'm sure soulseek.com has it already.

i love it.

Thanks for posting this. Hope this song isn't indicative of the new album overall. It sounds a bit watered-down for Interpol. Also, I couldn't help but think how similar it sounds to Franz Ferdinand…

I've got a pretty good copy of antics…192kbps. I've listened to it a few times and I like it. Not as dissonant at TOTBL but still good. I think I'll wind up liking this one as much as the first one.

i have a great copy of the album. it sounds like shit. it bores me, and i loved the other shit. maybe i need to keep listening

Anyone got a tip for how to hear this? the entire record.

I'd like to be familiar prior to Curiosa

This is so uncanny.

I am listening to "Antics" right now - a song called "Length Of Love."

Forget the comparisons to Joy Division. This sounds *so* much like R.E.M. - especially the voice.

Cheers
