Our Love to Admire is the third studio album by American rock band Interpol, released on July 10, 2007, through Capitol Records and Parlophone. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village and the Magic Shop in New York City,[1] Our Love to Admire is the group's first and, to date, only album to be released on a major label as they departed from Matador Records beforehand. On April 25, 2007, the band officially announced the album title as Our Love to Admire as well as the track listing.[2] The first single off the new album, "The Heinrich Maneuver", was released on May 7, 2007.[3]

Our Love to Admire was largely well-received; however, the album's elaborate musical arrangement polarized some critics, since it was such a departure from the relatively simple sound the band had been known for on previous albums. The album was re-released with a bonus DVD in the UK and Mexico on November 19, 2007, featuring music videos for "The Heinrich Maneuver" and "No I in Threesome" as well as live performances from the Astoria.[4] Paul Banks would later state that Our Love to Admire was the worst experience the band ever had working on an album, owing largely to the pressure and stress of working with a major label.[5] Following the album's release, Interpol returned to Matador.
