So I "accidentally" cheated and heard 20 seconds of this album by Interpol titled "Turn On The Bright Lights" and it was good... so I decided to listen to the rest of the album due to very popular demand!
Tracklist for Part 1:
1. Untitled
2. Obstacle 1
3. NYC
4. PDA
5. Say Hello To The Angels
6. Hands Away

"It's like a day of summer where everyone's just wearing black." That's probably the most accurate way to describe Interpol, especially since that's half of their band pictures
It's so funny because I wore a black shirt and sunglasses to match outfits when I went to an event to have a photo with them, the result is hilarious xD
Bradley has discovered the sad album
Jodes so true 🤣
@Francisco Antonio looool, Interpol is sad and dark, but this album is blue, my man
@Francisco Antonio I’ve never felt they were sad either but i had a friend say “oh your emo music again” when I played them in the car and i was like “what?!”. They always make me happy and are just fun to listen to. Probably in my top favorite 3 bands.
To me it feels like the guy standing in the corner of a party in a small NYC apartment while everyones having a good time and he leaves early
interpol was a post-punk band hidden within the bands of 2000s garage rock
Year late reply, but that's why the terms post-punk revival and garage rock revival are -interpol- interchangeable
Interpol, Bloc Party, and The National are legitimately post-punk bands.
@@WiloPolis03Inter-changea-pol?
Man the intro was incredible. Brad is just getting better and better at editing and video making.
That Intro Was The best Of all Time In UA-camr Video Ever It Was A Masterpiece
It Has Very Funny Moments, Edit, Kind heart to it Is Masterpiece Love so Much, I Will No Forget Ever
and look at him now
Disappointed that PDA got a half-hearted shrug. It’s a jam, in the way that the song completely changes in the outro.
It's probably one of the best songs I've ever heard
I actually think that PDA would be fairly forgettable in the context of the album, if it didn't build up to that outro. It's so good
How he didnt vibe PDA I have no idea lol its so fucking good.
PDA is incredible. I have such mixed feelings about this guys reviews. I like his commentary but I wished he had listened to the record on his own in silence first. He seems to find quite a lot of depth in his first listen but I’d be more interested in his opinion if I was watching his second listen. I couldn’t ruin my first experience of a record by talking over it and stopping it constantly. I know this is the format of what he is doing but it makes him come across as distracted and shallow.
@@rolon-will3362 I get what you mean, but honestly I'm surprised by how much he's getting out of his first listen. I never like music I hear for the first time and him feeling Obstacle 1 like that was pretty fun to watch
For more 2000s Post-Punk, check out Bloc Party’s Silent Alarm!
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
he needs to do this the greatest post punk album of the 2000s and the best indie rock record of the 2000s period
BibbyBoxx2219 - Bloc Party is really underrated
That Record I wouldn’t say underrated in the grand scheme of things but I’d say less talked about now . It’s just they hit their creative plateau very early but they still headlined Glastonbury so I wouldn’t say they’re underrated as such. Just they stopped making good records to keep relevant. But still silent alarm is a masterwork
@@marines.7022 nah man weekend in the city is a amazing and four is great and hymns has amazing stuff on it
If it weren’t for Interpol, The Cure wouldn’t exist.
Best comment here.
Ah yes the band from the 70s was inspired by a 2000s band
Edit: edit: I saw another of your comments and I now realize you weren't serious
@@radiofloyd2359 They've been around since the 70s
@@radiofloyd2359 wow u are really clever
@@lostblue5651 ?
the moment i first heard obstacle 1, felt like i'd known the song forever
The intro sounds like marquee moon
So many great New York bands during this era. Interpol, The Strokes, Liars, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV On The Radio, LCD Soundsystem, The Rapture. All SO good.
What about now?
Can’t wait for his reaction to Stella Was A Diver. Best song on the album
Same ! I love this song so much
i am fully convinced that the last four tracks of this album are the best chunks of music created in history
@@pinheadnick8540 this. For a while I was so in love with the first half that I didn't realize that the last two songs are the best songs on the album
THE NEW
Oh yeah
Me the entire video: WHEN IS HE GOING TO APPRECIATE THE BASS?
ian curtis Carlos D is an enigma
SAMEEEEE
"Like a gothic Killers" oh yeah baby you hit the nail on the head. The Killers were pretty heavily inspired by TOTBL
oh yeah so the killers said that they had this album spinning on repeat when they were recording hot fuss so they were a massive influence yhyh.
Damn, Hot Fuss should have probably been better in that case lol
Padawan Sound ahhh it’s not a bad record by any means . but this is 100x better yes
@@marines.7022 Ah, I've never been a Killers fan. To be fair, having their music repeatedly hammered into my brain in countless British bars/clubs in my youth almost certainly didn't help haha
Padawan Sound their first two records are genuinely decent listens. They’re not life changing or experimental af but they just have solid 00s alt rock bangers ones that probably deserve their popularity
When this album came out a lot of people actually accused the singer, and band of ripping off Ian Curtis and Joy Division. It wasn’t until years later I got around to listening to Joy Division and the similarities are striking.
Paul Banks one of the most unique vocalist ever. I adore this man.
yeah not a lot of baritone singers in mainstream music, makes Paul really unique in that sense
@@miscellaneousmedia3753 Yeah I can't think of many. Maybe Tom Smith from Editors.
@@akwilson1676 oh yeah, can't believe I didn't think of him
@@miscellaneousmedia3753 Julian Casablancas is baritone tho, but i think he's such a great vocalist. He can reach higher note than any baritone singer.
nice profile pic
Seeing him react to The New, is gonna be so special.
An obvious influence on Interpol is Joy Division, but I’d argue that the Chameleons, another post punk band from the 80s, is an even bigger inspiration
Agreed
They said they weren’t inspired by them but Paul acknowledged the similarities
Chameleons are fire
I'd say television
The Joy division/Chameleons influence is the most obvious, but there's a heavy dose of The Smiths in their work (especially the super esotetic lyrics) and I detect some serious Shoegaze-esque soundscapes reminiscent of Slowdive.

Thanks for the heart Brad you a real one
It’s like a day of summer where everyone’s just wearing black 😂😂 actual perfect description of Interpol!
For me, every song on this is a massive smiley ball (except for Hands Away which I’d give a shrug).
I liked that you gave songs multiple listens. Keep up the good work Brad!!
Hands Away is nice if you're in the mood
It’s just never managed to grab me like the 5 songs before or the 5 songs after have done!
@@JOETT005 leif erikson is one of the best closers I've ever heard
@@arpitdas4263 dude hands away 10/10
hands away is so goodddd bro what
brad I'm gonna cry this is the best thing you've ever done everything about this video is perfect. Your comedy was on point, and the editing holy shit. Seeing your evolution from blurryface to now is amazing. You deserve all the support you've gotten but like so much fucking more. I love your content and you as a personality. I hope we talk more soon and I wanna say ily. Brad you're amazing, I'm excited for the future of your channel. ❤
Yes, every band WAS influenced by Radiohead.
yeah you can really hear the Radiohead influence on the beatles
@@atotallyrandomperson3889 Especially on tracks like Revolution 9, Within You Without You, Tomorrow Never Knows and the unreleased Carnival of Light.
If it weren’t for Radiohead, The Smiths wouldn’t have existed.
@@ricardojohnson9980 Hahaha true
Even Radiohead was deeply influenced by Radiohead.Cant blame them though
if you say anything at all negative about obstacle 1 we riot
uhhh good news
he gave pda a "shrug" so the protests begin at dawn
@@ayaankhan2717 shrug is not bad honestly
@@ayaankhan2717 The ratings are relative to the other songs on the album.
Literally my favourite outro of all time.
Man PDA is a hell of a grower, probably one of my favourite songs ever. Can't wait for you to hear Stella is a diver
NYC is one of my favorite songs of all time. It’s so fucking pretty and the lyrics hit me like a truck every time
SUBWAY IS A PORNO
He made the mistake of replaying obstacle 1 before moving on cause hes now gonna be on a obstacle 1 loop
But secretly the " *right* " way to listen to the album is to replay every song more than once
@shitposter hence the more than once
You posted this on Leif Erickson Day??! Perfect
watching you dissect this record is honestly such a joy
Such a joy division.....sorry had to do it
Brandon Flowers from the Killers actually made a cover of Obstacle 1. I actually discovered this album through the Killers because I thought Obstacle 1 was sung by Brandon Flowers. But this album really transports you to a dirty 2000 New York City
I am a simple person: I see something related to Interpol so I click on it.
i listened to it for years but there's something about the vibe of this record that is still effortlessly enigmatic, like no other thing
Nice profile pic. Bradley should react to TDAG
Post punk is just so good, be good to see a joy division or idles reaction
cringe
cringe
He has already heard Joy Division.
cringe
@@BradTasteInMusicOfficial lol
18:04 early 2000s nyc had a wave of bands all heavily inspired by post punk called post punk revival. The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, LCD Soundsystem, although all drawing from different variations of it.
Fun fucking times!!
I can't wait for THE ANTICS REVIEW! The depth you find in this stuff I hope you can get out of that album too :) love The Strokes so much
Brad you cant have an opinion! You must say every album i like is amazing!
Of all the ways one could describe how listening to interpol feels like, fun is the one that I would never use.
Absolutely top notch content. Will subscribe.
Okay so I thought I'd edit this comment with my thoughts and experience with this album.
On the musical side: you'll notice there's not a ton of virtuoso instrumental pieces, but the album does not need it to convey its message.
The guitars add texture and deepness to the sound, but there's rarely a melodic line clashing with the vocals, it's actually the bass that does the melodic and distinct work. Carlos Dengler is probably one of the most creative person to ever play the instrument in a sorta big band. Tracks like The New and Obstacle 1 would be entirely forgettable if they didn't have such strong, memorable bass lines.
The drumming is outstanding, complementing the musical landscape perfectly without trying to impose itself on top of the picture.
Conceptually, I believe the album has a certain message. To me this album is an introspective experience. It is designed to touch on the darkest and saddest parts of the listener and turn them up to eleven.
It is about missing, loving, destruction, betrayal and pain. But it's also about showing you that even though you feel all that, everything has an end. It is reminiscent of all bad emotions, but takes your hand and accompanies you through them in the sense that it is a cathartic experience. I believe the creationism of the lyrics goes in that direction. The metaphors don't appear to make sense until they click because you grow on them.
It sounds dark, raw, sometimes more so than it actually tries, but if you're in the right mood, you'll end up almost a different person when you're done listening to it.
I love how Brad's content has evolved like there's a skit now and I fricking love it.
I’ve lived in and around NYC my entire life. Moved into Manhattan after college in 1999. This album changed everything for so many of us in our twenties. I saw them play this entire album in a small place called Maxwells in Hoboken just after this album dropped. The NYC music scene was still so good- late nights seeing Ryan Adams at the Mercury Lounge. What a great time in my life. Happy to see you all enjoying this work of Art.
Brad isn't prepared for how much money he'll lose in that AM video.
Nobody has ever said this before, but that album is exactly what Alex was singing about years earlier on Fake Tales of San Fransisco.
It's sad but I agree
Hey, but at least we got TBH&C which sounds like the exact opposite of AM
AM is not a bad album. Don’t be mad because it attracted so many shallow fans.
@@beatuplexus it's fine I suppose, just pretty lackluster compared to their early albums
TelepathicFish not really. It’s about on par with the the rest of their catalog. Great tracks on there: R U Mine?, Arabella, WYOCMWYH, One For The Road, Knee Socks, etc.
This album is like the equivalent of a Tarkovsky movie in it’s imagery
Welcome back Brad... I hope your felling better now, love you
Gotta say I didn't know who this band was, but i loved it. The bass in Untitled is amazing!!!
Also, this was a great vid Brad, keep going with the amazing job :D
Bora marega!!
I haven't watched the reaction yet, but i'm so excited to see what you think of it since it's one of my fav albums ever. Cheers!
Wow I re-listened to this album yesterday and now Brad comes out with a review lucky me. Gotta say it's one of my favourite albums of all time
This video is amazing! It's great to see how much effort and care is being put into these kind of videos
I appreciate the effort you’re putting in. Into these videos. The quality is just getting better and better
Brad I really hope you do the B-side “Specialist” off of Turn On The Bright Lights. I honestly believe it to be one of the best Interpol tracks and thought it should’ve maybe been on the album.
Edit: unfortunately Brad didn’t listen to Specialist :(
yeah it shocks me how that got a B-side slot
Specialist, to me is one of the best songs ever. My jaw dropped the first time I heard it. Sounds obvious, but no other group outside of interpol could ever compose such a thing. It is relentless.
also "Interlude" god those like 12 seconds sound so orgasmic
"That song Specialist, it wasn't on the record unfortunately" - Paul Banks
Specialist is a very special song and those bass fills are amazing but at the same time I dont know where it would've fit in the album, the vibe is immaculate all the way through but the way specialist starts wouldve changed that
This has to be your most well-produced video. I like the changes to the format you've made too, and your energy was really good throughout. keep sleeping young bradawan
One of your best videos!
Really think this reaction format is much better than just a first reaction
I subbed when I first saw your channel pop up covering Songs for the Deaf. Turn on the Bright Lights is my favorite album. "Everything is so off about this." My feelings exactly the first time I heard the album in '03. I couldn't stop listening to it; I had never heard anything like it. Great editing. Love your reaction to the songs, especially the "summer day and everyone is walking around wearing black" - that might be one of the best descriptions of this album I've heard in a long time. Looking forward to part two! Cheers!
Interpol is the other side of the coin in the music of this century, The Strokes and interpol are the two most influential bands without a doubt, of course interpol has a darker atmosphere and goes more for the Post punk revival, inspiring bands like Editors, Two Door Cinema Club, Vampire Weekend and even The Killers, sorry if my English has errors haha
Shout-out to Editors here, really amazing band
what?
Damn the new format slaps i think that while this album may not be the best example of re listening to songs before giving your final thoughts as it really is THAT good but it will show better on other albums By the way the intro was hillarious keep it up brad you're killing it with these reactions
Confirmed new favorite UA-camr of 2020, I’m Stoked for future content!!!
What an exciting channel to discover right now, waiting on part two for songs for the deaf and turn on the bright lights, two of my favorite albums
I like the new format, dude. Keep it going. Interpol has always been one of my favorites. You should check out and review Bloc Party’s Silent Alarm. It is simply amazing
I like how you spend some time "getting into" a space to get the music. Lots of people, specially if they are being critical(wether they realize they are being critical or not) don't realize they just aren't getting music when they are listening, as least not in the way that a large part, if not vast majority of the fandom for a band does.
I remember hearing Obstacle 1 on Pandora like 10 years ago and thinking it was a great song and putting it on all my playlists. C'mere would eventually go on them as well, and then I heard Stella was a Diver and was like hell yea this is one of the best songs ever. Oh man and Rest my Chemistry that one is great as well. I've never loved a full album of theirs(I did like this one quite a bit though) but their best work is just top notch.
Oh and "Home spun Desperation's Knowing, Inside your Cover's always blown" is likely a reference to self-loathing. What would create more desperation than if you created your own self-hatred(home spun) and it came from inside, because inside you can't hide from how shitty you are are(your cover's always blown.) Lots of their lyrics are essentially poetic ways of saying they hate themselves.
that is a fantastic interpretation of those lyrics! I always struggle with deciphering Interpol lyrics, but I will definitely keep in mind that theme of self-hatred throughout their music in the future
You're gradually going through my favourite post punk albums. I'm enjoying watching you experience them for the first time!
Almost halfway through the video and I can already see the growth, keep it up Brad!
The moodiest album I’ve ever heard. Will forever be my favorite
Brilliant video, brilliant album. You're making quality stuff brad, don't stop.
it's nice seeing you enjoying yourself in these reviews :)
This man is gonna be BROKE after making the AM video!
I found this band when I was 19 and couldn't stop listening to them for a decade. First 3 albums are their best in my opinion. I loved watching your reaction cause it certainly mirrored mine when I first discovered them. Enjoy!
Loved the video, Brad!
I loved your little rambles and going back to listen to songs again to try to properly interpret them
Subscribed! Can't wait for Pt 2!
Interpol is just The Strokes for nicotine addicts
Basdd
Interpol is just the cooler version of The Strokes.
This is completely wrong bro😭😭
I actually really like him, he’s a lot more interesting than fantano and has a better personality
I absolutely love your new style brad, good shit man!
This is maybe the best videos you've put out so far, felt so engaging! Nice job guy
Hey Brad! Loved the intro and the new video format. If you liked this record I HIGHLY recommend you check out Funeral by Arcade Fire. It's like Turn on the Bright Lights but the lyrics are slightly more discernable and the vocals and instrumentation are 10000000% more emotional. It's Turn on the Bright Lights on emotional steroids.
I can't even remember the first time I heard Obstacle 1. When I found out what the song was a couple years back it felt like I had known it forever. It just plants itself in your head.
I am so stoked that you’re finally reviewing this album! Thanks Brad, you’re the best!
Solid content, nice edits, and my favorite album! Good stuff so I'm gonna give this channel a smiley ball
Man, I went to a music festival in my country in South America. Just to see Interpol, keep in mind that in my country only 1 famous rock band performs per year. Then it’s all Latin music and pop. So I bought a 300 dollar ticket just to see Interpol. And because of the stupid way they put up the schedule on social media, I was late by 1 hour. My fucking heart stopped, Interpol is one of my favorite bands and I missed the chance to see them live smh.
If you even a little bit criticize this album in any way I swear to the lord I will fully respect your opinion because we as humans have different opinions and that's okay(:
But still, don't hurt my favorite album plz.
You can really tell how much Bradley is improving, love to see it. Keep up the hard work!!
love this new approach brad, you're really taking it all in before making a judgement
Im pretty sure Deafheaven - Sunbather would blow you away if you like this
Favorite album ever. And obstacle 1 is my fav song.
you honestly deserve so much more recognition. you're one of my favorite music reviewers because you're so honest with all of your opinions and don't let the popular opinion change yours
I've been waiting so long for this video and let me tell you it feels amazing
I just want him to listen to Leif Erikson
I really love this one, i love that you're taking time with the music more
Also do queens of the stone age pt2
I love your videos man 🥺🖤🖤🖤 keep it up!

@@Bandstand don’t worry I love you
i'd say maybe Editors' 'The Back Room' and 'An End Has a Start' are kinda similar? but they both came out after this so (shrug)
Yes! Editors are really underrated imo.
Editors 10000000%
Agree 100%
The Editors are shite
Nosaj so you like Interpol and not Editors?
im happy you look happier man, keep it up :)
Love u Brad, keep the good content x
Everyone is citing The Cure but I’m getting massive Chameleons vibes from Interpol
Also Brad since you love this album check out The Chameleons they’re arguably the best post punk band of the eighties
Yes!! First, I heard Interpol almost 20 years ago. Then after hearing all the JD comparisons I checked them out, but I didn't really hear it much. The first time I heard the Chameleons, I said THIS is the bigger influence.
I love every song on this album. Interpol's lyrics are hard to decipher and great once you get an idea of what they're talking about. If you want another widely accepted great album to listen to, you should listen to Pinkerton by Weezer. It's their second album and I think you'd love it.
He's heard it before. He really liked it once and then didn't like it on other listens.
Yesss!!!! Yooooo, glad you finally did this album!
WHAT? This is literally my fav album (along "Trench") of all time, YOU MADE MY DAY, THANK U
ohh I'm scared, this is my favorite album of all time
Untitled is one of my favorite songs ever.
Great video as always Brad.
one of the best vids from you.
Turn On the Brad Lights
You should listen to Editors: Back Room, sounds a lot like Interpol
Oh shiiiiit that intro was awesome bro! Love the fact that you're taking more time with the multiple listens of songs :)
I'm loving the new brad. Great video
