these guys have a very similar sound to eachother. normally i like more punk sounding music, but this stuff is pretty good.

eh, franz is more upbeat and poppy. interpol is more melodic and joy division-ish (first album, anyway).

yeah, if you think they have a similar sound, you need to get out and listen to more music.

the fact that you listened to franz before interpol says it all.

Turn On The Bright Lights is definately one of the top 5 albums of the 90s. Excellent all around. Antics is decent, but it dies out a bit by the end.

^fine, the transitional period between the 90s and 2000s. it's still one of the best albums i've come across, though. antics feels too mainstream to me.

forgive me. i roconise there are differences, (i think i like the dark sound of interpol better). but i dont listen to much indie, or whatever you might call that music...

^so true Antics and Franz are definately contenders for best album of the year, but those kind of awards are stupid.

Turn on the Bright Lights is a far supirior to Antics. They are both great albums, Antics doesn't really give you anything new, which can make it feel dull, but its great because a consitency in there music. Both albums are solid and are great listens.

'Each decade doesnt end for a coule years into the next decade.'

I agree people usually agree that it changes at some defining moment where you can tell the diference between the before and the after that moment most people would agree was september 11th 2001

so even using that logic it still didnt come out in the 90s.
