The Black is an EP from New York City based Indie rock band Interpol. It is a collection of live recordings from the "Black Sessions" that were recorded on French radio station Radio France. One complaint often heard about the album is that it cannot be heard unless at very high volumes. It has been critically acclaimed as one of the best live albums in the past decade by Nic Harcourt[citation needed]. It should be noted that full-length session clocks at 45 minutes and that 26mn of material are missing. The bootleg is only available on peer-to-peer networks.
