Whats your opinion of the solo works of the band?

Fab's work on Little Joy. surprised how much Rodrigo sounded like Julian.

Julians solo album Phrazes of the Young

Nikolai's solo album The Time of the Assassins, under the name Nickel Eye

And Alberts two solo albums Yours to Keep and Como te Llama

    Overall: good

    Julian Casablancas' album is awesome. Can't wait to see him in a few weeks. Albert Hammond Jr's was ok. Liked his first album, second was a little disappointing. I only heard one or two songs from Nickel Eye. They were pretty good. Still hoping for a Strokes record later this year though and a tour :D

    I saw Little Joy open for Regina Spektor. Was quite good!
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Both Julian's album and Albert's first one blew me away.

    I liked Albert's first and Julian's Phrazes very much.

    Little Joy, although a completely different style, is a very sweet album. Plus I've seen them live twice and they have amazing chemistry onstage. I thought you actually felt a little joy when seeing them :D

    Well I just saw Julian Casablancas tonight at the Troc in philly. Cool show. Played for about an hour. Played most of his songs off the album. Also did a Strokes song, which I'm drawing a blank as to which one it was (I think he said it was a B side cover though). They also played a Kings Of Leon song, Velvet Snow, that wasn't too goo though, IMO. And also did one (maybe two new songs) i got one on video
