I don't know all that much of his material but I've loved his work on the likes of Rain Dogs and Mule Variations. I've only two of yours to go: Fire Orchestra and Devandra wotsit. Anything I've listened to but not posted I'm not changing. Do you want me to substitute one of them?

The Strokes - Is This It
1. Is This It Really love this opening. The rhythm is super cool and the song is flowing along. Just kind of inviting me in to the record. It's funny how it's the opening and the song almost is asking if something is over yet, something is starting. It's really just enjoyable. I actually, would love this as an acoustic. 4.5 stars 2. The Modern Age Fun. That's my first thought. Easy guitar, easy drums. Love it when he really vocalizes. He has that perfect kind of rasp. The chorus is pretty easy too just like the track. Then of course since it's The Strokes there's a solo, and in comes the vocals more amped up. I like them this way the best. And who doesn't like a good wooo! My only gripe is I wish the last chorus has more energy 4 stars 3. Soma Like this one just the same but, it sounds a lot like Modern Age in my opinion. Is is their debut right? I think that's what I heard and I can kind of tell because, some things a little more simple than the other CD I listened to. It's not bad though. 4 stars 4. Barely Legal The Strokes just have this way about them it's like a swagger. The old school term not, the term that has been abused in this current generation for people trying to hard. Oh, sorry just my opinion. They're just cool. Love the chorus. I think I like this one the best out of everything so far. He's rather uh, obsessed with someone isn't he? It seems that way. Here comes that awesome chorus again. 5 stars 5. Someday Oh! I know this song I've heard it. I think it might be one of the first songs I've heard by them. It's really good. I actually really love this song. The lyrics are nice too. It's a solid track what else can I say? 5 stars 6. Alone Together Another good song but, it's still a lot like the others. I think where The Strokes really shine is their choruses. They're always different in some way or another. I still feel like this album is right in their comfort zone though. Maybe I'm bias after hearing later things that are obviously more advanced. Love this part right here around, 2:00 and the ending band part is super funky and awesome. 4 stars 7. Last Nite OH OH OH I know this song I LOOOOOVVEEE this song. This has to be one of their best songs in my own opinion. I might start dancing. It's just so smooth, so suave, so cool. I'm just enjoying this track cause, it's maybe one of my favorite songs. In my top 100 for sure. 5 stars ALL THE STARS 8. Hard To Explain I know this one too I think. Were these two songs that had music videos? I don't remember. I do, however love the bass line. Yes I know this song. This part around 1:40-ish. So awesome. Ugh, what can I say about a song I like so much? 5 stars 9. When It Started Funky start. I like it. What genre are they considered? Alt Rock? Wait holy crap, did this album come out in 2001? I can't believe it was that long ago. Good song, not one of the better ones but, good. 4 stars 10. Trying Your Luck Good, about on the same level as the last track and the others that are similar to it. Not as interesting as the break out ones but, I am enjoying it. 4 stars 11. Take It or Leave It Another really great track OH YEAH. Love the take it or leave it part. That's really awesome. I know my comments are getting shorter and shorter but, really I'm kind of jamming out. I can't help it, just have to. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT! Ohhhh Takkkee iiitttt! This is kind of perfect to close out the album. Leaves you on a high note nice and motivated. Get the energy pumping. 5 stars. Over all I freakin' loved this record. It's such a great listen if you like rock music it's just good. 4.5 stars all together. It's not perfect there are some songs that sound the same but, not so much that it's annoying and off putting or anything. Thanks for the rec! |

Glad you loved it. If you couldn't tell already (hint: check my avatar) Is This It is one of my favorite records of all time. Also check out the track New York City Cops, it was a track cut from the original release.

Here's my next suggestion. Bit more of a 70's oriented album, but their sense of melody is second to none.
Moon Safari - A Doorway To Summer (2005)

Along with Frissel and Torn he's the holy trinity.
