    I just bought it. Listening to it for the first time now. Only on Heart In a Cage now, but so far so good. Better than their previous albums thats for sure. Julians voice is much better.

    Well I still hold Is This It! as the very best but I love this album too. Just Is This It! has to me their all time best songs. And it's a lot less predictable.

    the bass on 5 is sick....lay off the PCP ok

    bass is sick, the song just puts me to sleep. after 'razorblade' and before 'vision of division', on the other side is just 4 mins and 38 seconds flow killing snooze...

    'ask me anything' (#7) would be good if it was only a little over a minute long - where it seems like it going to end - it would be good. after that min and 5 seconds it just doesn't do anything for me. just seems very repetive and boring, plus the lyrics are horrid "don't be a coconut / god is trying to talk to you" (???) and the so simple i knew what the 2nd line was before he sang it "i've got nothing to give / got no reason to live." ::yawn::

    killing lies (#9) is zzzzz for me. next to no tempo and there is no hook, plus between electricityscape and fear of sleep - just bad placement

    like it or not, that's my opinion

    I never was into them really...so whatever
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    Strokes #1 in UK:
    New York rockers the Strokes earned their first No. 1 U.K. album yesterday (Jan. 9) with their third Rough Trade set, "First Impressions of Earth." The group reached No. 2 with their two previous studio sets: 2001's "Is This It?" and 2003's "Room on Fire."
