Summary: 2007-12-14 10:32:00 The Strokes debut was mind-blowing. They gained a reputation as just another "garage band" at the time, due to the overnight popularity of The White Stripes, Vines, etc., but these bands are all nothing alike. Say what you will about them; they are just a great solid rock band.

Summary: 2007-07-18 11:09:00 When a friend gave me the Modern Age EP that preceded this album, I was hooked: I thought that this was the best punk-derived music I'd heard in ages. Now Julian's lazy voice sounds less cool than it did on the initially awesome-seeming "Barely Legal." The band could afford to get a little rougher around the edges; the EP has a rawer version of "Barely Legal" that's still worth checking out.

Summary: 2002-12-22 08:07:00 Although The Strokes sound like a rip-off of most NYC classic punk bands, they still sound great! The Strokes made an album that is great from beginning to end. The other album I enjoyed more this year was The Hives-Veni, Vedi, Vicious, which I suggest you try listening to too.

Summary: 2002-12-16 05:55:00 I think that this song is one of the best songs that I have heard from a mainstream band in a long time. Considering all the garbage that has came out in the last couple of years.

Weaknesses: NA
Summary: 2002-07-30 08:15:00 I loved "Last Nite" the first time I ever heard it - it actually sounded like real music, unlike the monotuous grind of Creed/Nickleback/Lifehouse, etc. But after listening to the whole album I came to the conclusion that it's fun driving music for a few days but beyond that it's kind of monotuous in its own way. It was better than a LOT of what's passing for music these days but it was still kind of disappointing. Maybe they're more of a cult band?

Strengths: NA
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: 2002-02-22 01:43:00 I have to admit that this is a catchy record. Simple guitar riffs, heavy vocal distortion, a raw sound - if you like one of this band's songs you will probably like them all. However, with all of the hype that this band has been getting, I have to say that I was expecting more. I can see myself getting sick of the sound / record fairly quickly.
