#Interpol turn on the bright lights zip tv
Closely associated with 9/11-era New York City, the album has been seen as helping define 2000s indie rock, and Interpol have been cited as helping usher in the New York-born post-punk revival scene, along with contemporaries such as the Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and TV on the Radio. Hailed as a seminal album of the 2000s, Turn On the Bright Lights has been cited as an influence on many indie rock bands, including the Killers, Editors, the xx, the Organ, She Wants Revenge, and others to the extent that many of these bands have been disparagingly referred to as 'Interpol clones'. You might like them for completely different reasons.' Billboard wrote that Interpol had created an 'homage to their particular vision of the '80s that stands proudly alongside the best of its idols.' Scott Seward, writing in The Village Voice, remarked: 'If I like them because they remind me of eating bad bathtub mescaline in the woods and listening to Cure singles, well, that'll do. Michael Chamy of The Austin Chronicle cited 'melodic Peter Hook-like basslines the divine shoegazer textures of My Bloody Valentine and Ride a peppy, Strokes-like bounce and a singer who's a dead ringer for Ian Curtis.' 'It's almost as if Ian Curtis never hanged himself,' began Blender 's review, with critic Jonah Weiner adding that Paul Banks' vocals channeled Curtis' 'gloomy moan.' NME 's Victoria Segal called Joy Division comparisons 'obvious and unmistakable, airbourne in the ashen atmospherics,' while praising Interpol's take on the 'grey-skinned British past'.
Contemporary reviews of the album often noted Interpol's influences and drew comparisons to several other acts. The album holds a score of 81 out of 100 from the aggregate site Metacritic based on 21 reviews, indicating 'universal acclaim'.
