Released on 27 September 2004, "Antics" was the sophomore studio album by American indie rock band Interpol, the album peaked No. 15 on the Billboard 200 and No. 21 on the UK Charts, spawning four singles "Slow Hands", "Evil", "C'mere", & "Narc". 
 
After two years on endless tours, the band returned to studios in early 2004 to record their second studio album, with a fistful of songs ready to record "Lenght Of Love", "Narc", & "C'mere", the band decided to revintented and revisited their sound empowering new strenghts, it was a time in which there was more room available for experimentation in these songs with more arrangements and intricacies on individual parts on each song. 
 
The band delivered a more engaging sound than its celebrated predecessor album, the band was able to avoid sacrificed the depth that made them importante and of course gave their identity sound, the songs here are catchier and variegated, the band really put a lot of effort on the album, claimed more confidence and quality than their first album. 
 
The critics regarded it as a generally positive review, an irresitible record full of interesting arrangements with sharp melodies that inspire the listener eager for more, a little bit predictable but with a more solid and magnificent sound, the band dared to be a little bit pop in order to progressed into the mainstream with an improved formula.
