choose wisely

Room on Fire sounds like the leftovers from Is This It. Almost as good.
FIoE had a bunch of really good songs on it I think, but it was just kind of bloated and inconsistent. Probably my least favourite from them.
I liked Angles a lot. Not sure why no one else does. It was really interesting to me, a bunch of catchy songs and it sounds like what FIoE should've been. Life is Simple in the Moonlight is one of my favourite Strokes songs.

I honestly think that the Strokes have remained consistent in quality throughout their discog, except for the second half of First Impressions of Earth.

>>53100474
I agree that Angles was great, as well as Comedown Machine. A lot of older fans didn't like the "new-wave" influences at all, I think they're awesome

Room on Fire > Is This It > First Impressions

>>53100328
Love this album and Room on Fire just as much but i couldnt get into any of the others. like i can actually sit through Is This It and Room on Fire completely which is not easy for me. i just love their vibe on the albums. but when i tried to listen to like Angles for example i just could not get into it.

Room on fire = Is This It -> FIOP -> Angles - Comedown

>>53100617
FIOE*

i've never listened to it
expecting it to be something like The Hives, Kaiser Chiefs or Arctic Monkeys and that's probably the type of music i care about the least of all
am i wrong?
should i give it a chance?

>>53100328
This is my favorite album from '00-'10. They had a few good tracks, but no other album came close to being this good.

>>53100645
yes, but I feel like you kind of have to be in the right mindset to really enjoy it

>>53100328
room on fire is good, but not as a follow up.

FIOE had better songs than ITI and ROF (Ask Me Anything, YOLO, Red Lights, etc..) but wasn't near as cohesive. Angles is too short but had great songs too. CM had All The Time which is the worst song ever, but other than that not too bad. Slow Animals is 10/10

>>53100645
yes...yes you should. if you dont like it then give up hope on liking the strokes cause its their best album. just play from the first song and go with it.

>>53100439
AJJ is easily the worst folkpunk act. i'm sure you faggots like their lyrics or something, but i don't have the patience to listen past 20 seconds of any of their songs.

>>53100600
Sounds like nothing to do with the record, you're just not used to listening to an album the whole way through. Angles is pretty easily digestible, apart from a couple of spots that might be a bit dull.

>>53100645
Those bands pull pretty heavily from the same kinds of influences but they all sound pretty different I think. There's really no harm in giving it a try. You might like it.

>>53100645
It is in that vein but it's the greatest thing to ever come out of that.

>>53100677
I really enjoy all the time. Slow animals is alright.

>>53100439
is that fucking robert pollard @ 1:00

lmao

>>53100690
what are a few songs that i should listen to individually from angles cause i did a once over and when i do that i dont pay attention to the track listing. maybe i need to listen to it again. ive done that before, listen to an album first time then did a 180 second time.

>>53100765
Under Cover of Darkness
Taken for a fool

everything else is pretty much on an equal level

I loved this album, but the other albums didn't have as much energy as this imo

1. is this it
2. first impressions
3. room on fire
4. angles

POWER GAP

SECOND POWER GAP

9001. Comedown machine

>>53100832
Gratisfaction is fucking ace yall

The best Strokes song is Boombox.
Fight me.

>>53100328
same level as room on fire.The two albums are so nostalgic for me now. High school days.

watch In Transit. Fun little Strokes tour movie.

>>53100952
i would actually knock you out if you said that to my face irl

>>53100952
A BUNCH OF OLD PEOPLE FUCKING LIKE RABBITS

>>53100966
>dat In Transit at the end
oh man those feels

>>53100981
Someone doesn't have any fingerless gloves.
:^]

Room > It = Impressions > Angles

Comedown machine isn't that bad, it's experimental but still good

I feel like people sometimes complain that the strokes were too bland but then they write off comedown machine

Honestly I think they're one of the most overrated bands of that decade. I've listened to Is This It plenty of times and I can't really see what makes them "special". It's really catchy but it's also really boring and grating to listen to

>>53101477
>I feel like people sometimes complain that the strokes were too bland but then they write off comedown machine
not me. i loved every second from is this it through the end of first impressions

angles was a bit weird for me but i still like it

comedown machine is utter shit.

>>53100677
>worst song ever
not juicebox

>>53101953
what else do you listen to?

>>53104174
industrial field recordings

>>53100677
How the fuck are Ask Me Anything and Red Lights better than Last Nite and Hard to Explain?

>>53100645
It's the best of those
Also it's pretty laid back, so first of all try not to listen it in a rush, and second don't build expectations. Do like >>53100684 said

>>53105225
Have you listened to them?

>>53100328
>Is This It?

7.5/10

Really good, catchy and memorable tunes.

>Room On Fire

8/10

Somehow even better than the first album, with a little bit of experimentation and punk influence.

>First Impressions of Earth

4/10

Some good singles spread about, but it all sounds the same. Sounds like they hit a wall as a band and had no idea how to progress.

>Angles

8/10

Fresh new sound, very forward-thinking for them.

>Comedown Machine

6/10

A few great standout tracks, but overall, they're treading the same ground that they have before.

Not trying to be contrarian, I've never understood the appeal of The Strokes. Back when I first hears Is This It it seemed just-okay and today I have the same opinion. In fact the first album I sort of liked by them was Comedown Machine.

>yfw when you found out the album cover is a knee

>>53100439
The strokes are easily older brother-rock if anything

>>53100439
I like both though

>>53104174
post punk and xiu xiu

>>53100328
they got too big to quickly and became popular for a sound that they moved away from post room on fire. I think it's a great album. comedown machine is an interesting album and i'm always eager to hear what they've got going on

i don't get this album. what's the significance of it? was it the first of its kind or something?
