The Strokes

That album art is indeed meh. But I do like the sound of their new single - hopefully it's no new First Impressions!

I like their new single. It sounds fresh and it's good that they're not just rehashing their past. I'm looking forward to this album now.

I like the art.

The cover is nice but I thought the new single was pretty weinery.

What did people here think of 'You're So Right'?

Lots of people are complaining that it doesn't sound like the strokes, but I think it is still strokesque, the guitars and drums have the same 'feeling' IMO. The vocals do sounds completely different though. Personally I prefer this to 'Under Cover of Darkness' (which I like a lot) because it's darker and new.

Everyone keeps saying it sounds a lot like Radiohead, but from what I can hear it is only similar in terms of subject matter, the actual music is different

I think 'You're So Right' really sounds like Julian's 'River of Brakelights'. I kind of like it I suppose, but it's not better than 'Under Cover of Darkness' imo. I think they just should've left it as a B-side.

I haven't heard You're So Right yet, but I find it hard to believe that it sounds anything like Radiohead.

I heard they were releasing a new album but honestly didn't have high hopes since I don't care much for the stuff they released after "Is This It." However, after seeing them on SNL last night, I will definitely be checking out this album. I absolutely loved "Under Cover of Darkness."
