i understand the back-lash that this album will get. it basically goes against everything that made The Strokes what they were. tight, aggressive, unpredictable and just plain fucking stellar. i already read a shitty review on pitchfork this morning (they are just so hit or miss nowadays) where they talk about how this project lacks intensity and will taint the legacy of the Strokes blah blah blah.
but this album is charming in it’s own right. it’s a new wave, electro, bluesy experimental record which is just chock full of amazingness. if you were skeptical, give this a listen.
