Squiggle tips Demons at 77% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
Is This It? is one of my favourite albums of all time, and for all intents and purposes has soundtracked my 20’s perfectly and I relate pretty strongly to every song but The Strokes been on a very steady decline since.
Room on Fire is incredibly vanilla. Pretty lifeless and overproduced, and I think Julian ran out of interesting subject matter pretty quickly. What Ever Happened? and I Can’t Win are among some of their best though.
FIOE is on a similar level. The singles are strong, but the album overall contains too much filler.
Each subsequent album I’ve given a few listens to and given up. Some bands have a short peak and run out of ideas quickly and I think that is the case with The Strokes. I feel indebted for what they managed to convey in ITI?, and I’ll certainly give the new LP a listen, but I can’t see them putting anything profound out.
Julian’s best work is coming via The Voidz.
Couldn't disagree more on Room on Fire. It's fantastic.
How exciting, when it due?

Enjoying at the door. That chorus hits pretty hard.
Love "At the Door"..!
Bad Decisions is the other new song! (played live at the bernie sanders rally)
Eh...
Great video, the song didn’t do heaps for me though. Doesn’t help that really care much for Dancing With Myself, Billy Idol is listed as a writer for Bad Decisions. Much prefer At The Door.

What? This and At the Door are some of their best songs in ages. Really looking forward to the new album. Hope the Voidz have a new album out this year, too. The Eternal Tao and Did My Best are both excellent.
Thoughts? I didn’t like it at first, but now I think it’s OK. Maybe I’m forcing myself to like it. Julian sounds like he’s putting on an accent. I hope the new album is different. I liked Comedown Machine, but I really don’t want more 80s cover songs.
