The first album was ace. The second album was good but I think a lot of people rate it higher than it should be rated to keep the band relevant. Third album was crap. People were calling them this decade's Nirvana and shi
t when in reality they were just a band that put out a REALLY good album. It was groundbreaking or innovative, but The Strokes found their own little sound and it was quite refreshing.
