    I dont like it, there are some great songs on it but I think half of the songs are really bad.
    Well, do you need a lot of what you've got to survive?

    Agreed...Too much filler.

    i wouldn't say "half the songs are really bad"...

    the first 5 songs or so are the best work they've ever done... and a few more on down towards the end.. there is some filler but not "really bad" songs...

    It's very rare that I dont like songs, mostly I just dont get into them, but the Strokes have the talent to write songs that really bug me and want me to plug out my stereo for good. I dont know what it is with those guys and me.

    It's a good album. Certainly worth the purchase. It's not a "masterpiece". I admire them for trying to change it up it just didn't work completely.

    I wasnt talking about fillers, I was talking about really awful songs. 2 or 3 fillers on an otherwise outstanding album are ok with me, but some of those songs on there make me really cringe while some others are truly great.

    I think you have a case of "that-one-band-that-just-doesn't-click-with-me-itis".

    Everyone has that every once in awhile ;)

    I really do like the album and I agree it is quite a long album for them. Makes you wonder...with their 45 minute sets before Julian is way too wasted to sing, we're not gonna hear much of it live. Kinda sucks I guess but oh well.

    I dont really think so. I like Room On Fire pretty much all-around, not a masterpiece but a good record. And I like some songs from First Impressions but overall it's just a mediocre album at best IMO (in fact, I put "bad" as the adjective first). I mean it starts off by ripping I Want To Break Free, at least start it off with something unique.

    All i got to say is if you dont have this album already....GO GET IT.

    I cant stop listening to it.
