I'm really excited given the two singles and the other two new songs they've performed live. Bad Decisions and The Adults Are Talking have really fun guitar work.
First listen was pretty underwhelming but I’ll give it more time. Bad Decisions hooked me immediately on first listen. Didn’t get that with any other songs. Some of them seem to drag on a little too long.

That's because youve already heard this song by billy idol.

Part of my problem with the strokes is the same problem I have with Lana Del Ray, The Black Keys and others: I hate when the people behind the music are wholly uninteresting, and they go to great lengths to compose an artistic persona that they believe will be compelling. It’s like I can see the scaffolding behind the artifice.
It’s completely different with someone like David Bowie or Saint Vincent, where the line between the artist and the person is blurry if not altogether invisible.

I agree the Keys aren’t trying to create the same sort of visual/stage persona as my other examples. But their billing as a couple of regular guys just making some dirty blues will never sit right when the commercial aspirations are baked into the music and they’re advertising $10K watches.

Shouldn't the music just stand as it is?
edit: there is probably a thread for this...
