I read the reviews and gave it a shot. Many are too quick to classify Interpol as mimics and lose out on discovering that little more than an allusion is being made. It's the only official release of the track that I know of (apart from the instrumental version that was a recent bonus track). It drones way too much. Excellent post-punk album. If i had to criticise one track it would be "Say Hello to the Angels" and that is solely because it reminds me of mid-period Smiths. Of course, it sounds like its influences, but they also hone their own sound through these influences.

The album closes with two fantastically strong songs "The New" and "Leif Erikson" the first a slow builder with a gorgeous melody and the latter is arguably the highlight of the album, again the guitar work is astounding and it builds to a superb climax.
