Naw. This is everything I loved about 00s indie rock transposed into the 2020s.

To each their own. But I love this band. I've been listening to them all day on shuffle and every time I hear one of these songs I want to skip it. I don't because I can't help but give the album endless chances... But I want to.

Huh weird. I'm not all that familiar with The Strokes and I love this. Maybe that's why.

I will never understand why angles and come down machine are so underappreciated. If you were going to hate on a strokes album, it should be first impressions of Earth.

Is this It? was a breath of fresh air, but it's probably their weakest album after first impressions. Room on fire is timeless

This is a fantastic album, Angles and CM are both decent but this is their best since Room on Fire

The adults are talking is the only really good song here. Even that is just an early era b side with a couple studio instrumentals and a falsetto section and is still 2 minutes too long. I'm glad people seem to think this is some sort of master stroke, but I don't hear it.

None of their albums are bad imo, this just has so much more cohesion to it than Angles and CM

Yeah, Room on Fire and Is This It are better but this is easily their 3rd best in my opinion.

ROF>ITI>FIOE>TNA>ANGLES>COMEDOWN

I enjoy angles and comedown alot, just to clarify even though they are dead last. My problem with this album in particular is Bad Decisions, I dont know why but I just cant stand it

ROF is their 2nd best. It has their highest highs but it also falls off.



Is this it is just fantastic to listen front to back. It's a better album. ROF has the best songs or singles or whatever.
