 Interpol’s second offering from Our Love to Admire comes in the shape of 'Mammoth'. Revolving around the line “Spare me the suspense, it seems that this is exactly what the band have done - forgetting that their previous successes relied upon their retro appeal and eye for a sinister tune. Mammoth simply trudges through, avoiding anything like the epic soundscapes championed in recent years by bands such as Bloc Party or Interpol’s New York counterparts, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Doubtless is the fact that Interpol have fans, and their November UK dates are their biggest yet. But Mammoth doesn’t really offer up anything new; this is something the band will have to address if they are to maintain their ascent to the top.

Released 03/09/07 on Parlophone Records

  • This is one of the strongest tracks on the new album in my opinion, a great album at that. But well said, even if we don’t quite agree.
