Drowned In Sound
Treat it like a work-of-art, you might be moved to see shapes too. Treat it like a comeback album, and you might find you miss the point. Open your minds, your ears, your energy - and it will show you incredible sights

Sounds like a band heading down new avenues with a confident swagger and a emboldened sense of purpose. Interpol may be getting older, but on this evidence they’re also getting wiser

Not the sound of a group chasing lost sounds or long ago glories, rather it is a band detaching itself from its past, from a time that has long defined them; it is the sound of growing older, closer and more open. Print edition only

They know their limits, and while they are prepared to test them, gently, Marauder isn't in the market for revelation. With songs this subtle and steely, though, reinforcement is good enough. Print edition only

The Music
Everything that makes Interpol unique - rousing guitar riffs, striking basslines, Joy Division-esque drumming and Paul Banks' unmistakable baritone - it's all celebrated on Marauder

Marauder doesn't need to be qualified in terms of the band's former successes -- on its own terms, it's one of the richest albums of Interpol's career

Loud And Quiet
‘Marauder’ twists and turns and not all of the myriad ideas it throws at the proverbial wall end up sticking, but when they do, they suggest there’s plenty left in the tank. In that respect, mission accomplished

Does Marauder suggest Interpol deserve to pull off a late-career comeback-slash-breakthrough? Half of it does

It's doubtful Marauder will win Interpol any new fans and may even leave existing fans somewhat disappointed, but if you work at it, you can find some redeeming qualities since a sub-par Interpol is still better than most
