Just finished listening through their discography (I knew a number of songs, but couldn't remember actually listening to the full albums). I'm a little surprised by the middling reception to this one. I thought it was pretty good overall (especially "Tap Out" and "One Way Trigger"). My album ranking:



Room On Fire > Is This It > Angles / Comedown Machine > First Impressions of Earth



Looking forward to the new LP in April.

This very well may be their best album for me. I don't know why it was written off other than people were sick of the strokes in general at the time.



Did you ever check The Voidz Fuzzy? Julian made two albums with them, and the second is quite good. More experimental and at times abrasive than anything on a strokes record but seems to share a lot of DNA.

Apparently I listened to Virtue at some point in time, hah--the play count is at 1 for every track in Google Play Music. I don't remember when that was, though, so I'll revisit it soon.

First single was great, second one I'm not so sure on.

Really? I like it a lot. Very "Hard To Explain" esque.

It's a bit overlong and idk, the video gave me Is This It? vibes but the song itself hasn't hit me yet.

I keep earing 'dancing with my self' in bad decisions.. it's messing with me.

Really liked 'at the door'.

This album is supremely underrated and wrongfully maligned

I like all of their albums but Comedown Machine is like the only one I'm ever in the mood to listen to anymore
