Strange
for a band’s first two records to sound like they
were released in the wrong order, but Antics’ relative
lack of complexity after the stunningly neurotic and
intricate debut Turn On The Bright Lights hasn’t
stopped it from topping this list. And this is because
Interpol’s masterful command of gloom is as bewitching
as it is beautifully unique. If Joy Division were actually
as good as people seem intent on pretending they were,
they still wouldn’t be anywhere near as mesmerisingly
bleak as this. This record is with us for good. TP
