Arriving on a wave of well-earned hype rooted in tight chops and a confident swagger, The Strokes offer a Rock & Roll antidote to the plague of boy bands, teen divas, and petulant rap-rock outfits.
The Strokes' fifth album is immediately appealing as they sound like they’re genuinely having fun. At times it feels like a mixtape the Strokes made for themselves: 11 songs, 11 different genre experiments.
Originally released in 2006.
This album was commissioned by Nike to listen to on an iPod while exercising.
"Complex, fun, and meticulously put together, 45:33 sounds even better pumping from a home stereo than it does through an iPod while jogging". - All
