The nastiness, the blackness and bleakness, is a lot of the attraction.

Interpol – Turn On the Bright Lights: Tenth Anniversary Edition (Matador)

I understand why Interpol’s considered a joke today. Even back in 2002 I understood why they were a joke. Everyone wants to be Joy Division, but nobody has ever wanted to be Interpol. The tragedy is that 99 per cent of the people who laugh at Interpol have a lot more in common with Interpol than they ever will with Joy Division.

In comic book terms, this would be called the second Silver Age of The Fall, or something.
