Editorial Review:
Interpol create literate, atmospheric, moody, trashy post-punk music that recalls '80s faves the Psychedelic Furs. And this is definitely a good thing. While most young bands are content to rhyme "make it" with "fake it," Interpol pens melodramatic tales of tortured and tortuous urban relationships that are truly refreshing. Like their peers the Strokes, they're bright, sophisticated, and meticulous enough to build stirring soundscapes. Turn On the Bright Lights is a must for anyone who missed Echo & the Bunnymen, the Furs, and Joy Division the first time around. --Dominic Wills
Australian version of the absolutely stunning full-length debut from New York's Interpol. Think Joy Division meets Psychedelic Furs, Echo & the Bunnymen and the Smiths. Includes the bonus track, 'Specialist'. Matador. 2002.
The Stunning Debut Album that Incorporates So Many Postpunk Influences: Joy Division, Television, Morrissey, . Includes the Bonus Track "Specialist".

Rating:  - Wonderful from start to finish
Turn On the Bright Lights is one of my all-time favorite albums, period!
It's awesome! Catchy as hell.
Light and dark, happy and sad, brilliant, fun and textured.
A perfect blend of everything. Obstacle 1 is one of the best songs EVER, in my opinion. How could I not love this album?
Rating: - Fantastic New York Sound
While my first experience with Interpol was their second album "Antics", I actually prefer the slightly less calculated and ethereal sound of Turn on the Bright lights. It sounds layered and rich, and bass heavy, which I love. It's one of those albums that you don't have to skip tracks when listening to. There are no fillers, and every song has a hook of some kind that keeps it interesting. Obstacle 1 is my favorite track, thanks to it's tempo changes and overall experimental sound. I think they're ... Read More
Rating: - Good One
Interpol knows how to make for a good time. I thouroughly enjoy chilling and listening to this album. Interpol's other albums are better but this is an obvious must have for an Interpol fan.
Rating: - Awesome 80's sound!
Yes, I LOVE Interpol, and I'm not ashamed. I can listen to their CD's from beginning to end, with a smile on my face and my head held high. Their sound is exciting and new, considering what we've had to endure for the past 25 years...I recommend to anyone who wants some fun music to drive to, and music thats sound takes you back. In itself, it is of value, not only because it reminds me of the past.
Rating: - Outstanding
I will not delve into a lengthy rhapsody about how delightful this album is. All I will say is this: it's a wonderful listen and the lineup of songs is stunning. I prefer it to the other two Interpol cds in a heartbeat. That's all
