It's likely that the kids giving positive reviews to this album are shills, hired by the record label. From what I've heard of the album, it blatantly rips off the sounds that bands like Joy Division created over twenty years ago. Interpol can't be accused of the same crime, because they certainly established their own sound. I'd guess that the band is composed of studio musicians hired to hand the younger generation a shallow, watered-down Interpol. Don't buy this.
