Anyone else think they borrowed Barry's 'Mandy' hook on 'Razorblade?' LOL.

...Just on first listen, sounds good...but I'll give my conclusion after a few more listens. (Cuz I know you all care.) haha.

    The new strokes is amazing (si), a rock n' roll masterpiece full of brilliantly amazing hard kicking good vibes badass songs and Julian Casablancas voice is phenomenal to say the very minimum.........

    A "masterpiece" is an exaggeration if ever there was one...Although, you're entitled to your opinion. It definitely loses its kick after 'Razorblade' for me. I heard such great things about this album, I was definitely expecting better...Especially after 'Juicebox' & 2 really good albums...After 2 good listens, it pains me to say that I'm starting to think they shoulda taken their "We could drag it out but that's for other bands to do" advice.

    The more I'm listening, it's not as bad as I thought...although still not as good as the others by far. "Ask Me Anything" needs to be shot though. lol.

    It's kind of in the vein of Exile On Main Street. They could have made it another 35 minute "masterpiece." But I like the fact that they left it worts and all.

    I think borrowed from EVERYTHING on this album. From the songs, the lyrics, and the artwork. Hell even Julian sings about stealing chords and words.

    ...Yeah, "Vision of Division" reminds me of a Queens of the Stone Age song, don't ask me which one...whatever they released, I don't know their stuff...& I thought it was funny he mentioned stealing stuff too.

    The Strokes will never be a great band. They will be a solid, rocking, catchy band. A good band. And so it this album, good.

What an album, what great way to start 2006!!!!!

    The album is good but loses a bit of steam after Killing Time, IMO.

    Man, I need to get this album, I love Juicebox, my favourite Strokes song I think.

    strokes lovers are gonna kill me for this opinion but this record sucks ass. its utter garbage. I was really really really looking forward to this album and it completely blows.

    I absolutely hate it, and will most likely never listen to it ever again. its that bad. long drawn out slow boring songs. this is my first major disappointment of 2006.

    I finally found a song by The Strokes I can bare listening to, the title track from this album... aside that nothing special with the rest of the songs, really I can't explain to myself why so many people are into these guys.
