Top Comments of this video!! :3
ive listened to their first 4 albums. this album changed my life. the songwriter's relentless hedonistic disposition resonated with me in my early adult life. it sounded like a good time, which i significantly was not having. it really enriched my life. my favorite song is alone together, especially when it hits the line "he knows it's justified to kill to survive", where you get that back and forth transition with the bass that creates that intense groove with the guitars.
i love every other song as well besides last night and take it or leave, which are just decent songs.
i give it a 9, and is definitely in my top 30 all time albums, if not 20.

The Strokes come at things with a unique approach - songwriting is strong and instrumentation (including vocals) are all about layering - adding and subtracting to create the dynamics. It is definitely an acquired taste and you might appreciate hearing some of their songs being covered by other artists to see the strength of these tracks "opening up" a bit with natural vocals.

This is considered a top 5 album from the 00s... and rightfully so. Kicked off an entire movement, really. Around the same time, in the same city, the band Interpol took off, too. Would love to see you cover their first two albums at some point too.
