I really recommend this interview with Carlos. At one point he explains the s/t and it's recording process. He says the band were trying to make a move like Radiohead did from OK Computer to Kid A. I really think that explanation is helpful in understanding why this album is not loved. It was ambitious and face-planted.
Relic Radiation is my fav indie band right now. They're kinda like Radiohead/Modest Mouse/Muse/Pink Floyd but they have a videogame music sound to them, like old school Nintendo sounds. Idk how to describe, check out this song by them.

The UK version is: https://www.discogs.com/Interpol-Our-Love-To-Admire/release/1055329
The US version is: https://www.discogs.com/Interpol-Our-Love-To-Admire/release/1018815
If you go to the reviews at the bottom of the US page, there's a bit about the US mastering. I've heard them echoed on other forums but again, haven't heard either with my own ears. I'm constantly on the lookout for a UK copy
general as in floor/general admission tickets? That should have pre-show merch access then, I had a seat, so I was thinking to get color wristbands off Amazon, have one of each color in my pocket, then wear the one that they were using for the general admission (silver at the venue I attended) and attend the area, though I didn't buy them ahead of time
I notice they edited out The Heinrich Maneuver! Still, an absolutely amazing show; you can sense they're totally re-energised after some time away!
Also, there's an interview with Daniel just before they played on this episode, about 15 minutes from the end: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0b986r1/trnsmt-2018-3-day-three
I lived in NYC [Brooklyn!] from '97-'05. They were a big deal there. I specifically recall the excitement and rollout of Antics in 2004. There certainly was a buzz after the horrible events of 9/11 and the music in NYC, Interpol included, was a huge deal. I highly recommend reading Meet Me In The Bathroom if you haven't -- that paints as close a picture from those on the inside [which I most definitely was not] but excited to be there while it happened.

I'm sure there are many essentially identical versions you can find various places. Mine are these: https://www.amazon.com/NIUBEE-Record-Acrylic-Display-Listening/dp/B07QMVKKM7
Super light-weight and easy to install. The hardest part is hanging them straight if you're doing some kind of pattern, but even that isn't too bad.
Edifier R1280T. My research suggested people were pretty happy with them for the budget price, and they sound great to me.
