I can't fathom condemning these guys for "not sounding like they used to". They beat that sound to death. This is good stuff.

Angles above First Impressions? Which brand of glue is your go-to?

I'll have to get back to you on this. I've rinsed Comedown Machine many times in the past days, and Room on Fire follows that in the library. I haven't revisited much else, although Is This It sits at immortal status.

Im all for the strokes not sounding like they did 10 years ago but im having a hard time really getting on board with their current recordings. I am jsut not picking up what they are laying down. There is some really interesting guitar shit going on but the melodies aren't jumping out at me and Julian being almost inaudible... Other than few tracks here and there (two kinds of happiness being my favorite!) Im just not feeling it.

Julian has definitely taken on an almost nonchalant role on some songs, but I honestly believe it adds to the charm. They have always been a band who inadvertently vocalizes being behind on laundry and pushing quarters into shitty pin-ball machines. This is The Strokes, brah.

After a first listen i gotta say, i pretty much liked it. Im not a fan of any kind, i like some of their records, mostly First...and this one sound pretty good.
likes rhythmic things that butt up against each other

As it stands right now, this will be the first Strokes album that I don't purchase. I've streamed it through Spotify a few times, and I've just having trouble finding anything that really excites me here. I don't need them to keep revisiting a sound they were pumping out ten years ago, but nothing here really sticks with me. I don't hate any band trying a new direction, but I am just not a fan of where they went on this album. I may sit this one out.
i havent listened more than a few times, still i like this one a lot. Some songs are really cool, specially the first two. Kudos to them for the change.
