Live Album Review: Live in Astoria EP by Interpol

1st post of the decade. I know I didn't do any of the reviews in the "to do" list but I was bussy, you know, with xmas and stuff. My first review of the decade is... not on that "to do" list I did last year (of course), It's Interpol's Live in Astoria EP. And another thing the "Final Ranking" is now called the Verdict, and instead of the normal 0.0 to 10.0 ranking I have a 0.0 ot 5.0 ranking:

0.0 to 0.9 - Horrible

1.0 to 1.9 - Bad

2.0 to 2.9 - Still Negative

3.0 to 3.5 - Positive

3.5 to 4.5 - Great

4.5 to 5.0 - ??? (this one's a secret)

Info:
Released: 2007
Genre: Post-Punk/Indie Rock
Label: Capitol
Lenght: 31:36

Actual Review:
At 2007 Interpol entered the London Astoria to perform and recorded one of my favorite live albums (sarcasm): Live at Astoria EP . Since it's a EP, it's short... only 6 songs which is a bit of a shame, because this one of best live bands today.
I know that this is from their Our Love to Admire tour, but they chould have recorded a songs from their previous album ("Antics"), although they featured some two songs from their first album: Obstacle 1 and Stella of which were great choises.
Remember this a LIVE EP not a LIVE DVD, meaning that it's doesn't make you completly feel like you were there, thats a rule! Track 4 to 6* of Live at Astoria is one of the exceptions to that rule, I can praticly close my eyes and I feel like I'm right in front of Paul Banks while he is screaming the last chorus/verse of Mammoth.
I actually prefer listening to the live version of Mammoth, Rest My Chemistry(of which I didn't like), Stella than the album version. They just have a different energy. And Obstacle 1 didn't fall to far behind. Pioneer to the Falls and Heinrich Maneuver, in the other hand did. These two songs were just plain boring compared to the other tracks and theire too much alike with their respective album recordings, this also goes to Obstacle 1, but that songs is amazing on both live and studio version. Pioneer to the Falls and Heinrich Maneuver are great on their studio version but mediocre on the live version, in spite of being praticly the same.
That means that the album is unbalanced, and that's just not good.

Best Tracks:
1. Stella
2. Mammoth
3. Rest My Chemistry

Worst Track:
1. Pionner to the Falls
2. Heirich Maneuver

Shouldn't Have Been Missing:
1. Slow Hands
2. No I Threesome
3. Evil
4. Leif Erikson
5. Who do you Think?

Veridict:3.1/5.0 (Positive)
Live at Astoria EP by Interpol is a short but just plain perfect... from Tracks 4 t0 6*.Actually pretty good at Track 2 (Obstacle 1). Just Plain boring at Tracks 1 (Pionners) and Track 3 (Heirich Maneuver). Overall but it's unballenced and missing some great songs from Antics, but still... it's not bad

*- Tracks 4 to 6 are Mammoth, Rest My Chemistry & Stella was a Diver...

Album Review #1: Turn on the Bright Lights

Info of the Album:
Band: Interpol
Year: 2002
Genre: Post-Punk (Revival)
Length: 48:49
Label: Matador (Independent)

Actual Review:
Amazing, start to finish! begining to end!
In spite of that, there actually 5 tracks that stand out from the others: Obstacle 1, Obstacle 2, NYC, Stela & Leif Erickson.
Paul Banks has an astounding baritone range voice, Simple but Addicting rifts from Daniel Kessler creating a overwhelming atmospher when combined with Paul's Distorded Guitar.
Overall the atmospher is dark, the quesmistry is exceptional, but in the other hand the songs are a bit monotone, but that for some reason sucks you in the album even more.
These Post-Punk Revival Band is great and there debut album even greater.

Final Ranking: 9.1/10
