Interpol and The Strokes dropped new albums in the last month. Who had the better album???

Two bands that gave been grouped together since 2002 and have a fanbase that overlaps.

Interpol's new album is getting TNA treatment. Its their most critically acclaimed album in almost 20 years and most of the fanbase is ranking it as a top tier album and masterpiece.

Obviously Reality Awaits has divided the fanbase and critics completely

2026 might go to Interpol

Which album sounds most like Mary Jane's Last Dance?

Been watching this clip all day. I know it was recorded during the Wildflowers sessions but it doesn't really sound like that record maybe outside of Honey Bee.

Which album should this have been on if it wasn't a one off single for the greatest hits?

Depeche Mode influence on new music

Seeing a few people mention hearing Depeche Mode on the new tracks they have played live. Which albums would you recommend after Violator?

Interesting they have released the first three songs on the record now. Might need a couple more listens but inital thoughts are it's a bit slow but somehow the 4 mins go by quickly. They are definitely leaning in a more polished production direction on this record. Keen to hear others thoughts.

Edit a few more listens now and having replied to some questions.

Paul sounds very naked at the start like the previews showed. Includes more harmonies later on. It's definitely a song showing Paul's vocals as vulnerable.

I'd put this in the Toni, Something Changed bracket maybe even Passenger? This is definitely an extension on TSOMB but piano isn't as prominent throughout though and there is more energy as the song goes on with some twinkley pads in the background.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Rockpalast (1977)

I'm a newer fan having heard about his/the band's influence for years. What a cool performance this is! Keen to explore more.
