"Lead Single 'barricade' Showcases Banks' Best Vocal Tics and an Inspired Bassline...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Axe fireworks are still a big part of the sumptuous 'Lights,' and the fierce bass work on 'Barricade' jostles Banks' cage for some of his best vocals ever.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "There's an immediate sense that Interpol have stripped down to their dark heart with this fourth album....An utterly involving listen...", "The riffs here are grander, the rhythms more limber, and the melodies more memorably moody than they've been in years.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "It is still familiar as an Interpol album but it's certainly their most refined, elegant and frightening release."
