erikness Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 The track titles on this thing are pretty stupid. People on RYM saying it's better than Room on Fire.. Gtfo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewberinger Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 It’s great - nothing will ever touch the first two records but this is firmly in 3rd or 4th place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcafilm Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 On my fourth listen, this is really good. I can't imagine anybody who appreciates The Strokes not enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecayToDeath Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I’ve always thought ITI a was kind of a samey blur, so while this has one or two tracks I don’t care for, I prefer it overall for its highs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantdance Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I think it’s their best since their first. Room on Fire is great, too but I always just found it to be a fun but lesser version of their first. This is a great evolution of their sound.

kjkenney Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Local finally came through with a copy for pickup! This album is fantastic. The reviews where the first two albums are referenced are stupid, imo. They havent put out anything like ITI or ROF since..well 2003. The last decade of Strokes is it's own class, for better or worse depending on the listener. I personally loved Angles, and put it on more than most along with FIOE. CM had its moments, but lapsed a little for me. This album sounds so fresh and progressive for them and makes me excited for what could come. If people want to listen to ITI in 2020, go for it, but don't expect a band to put out the same shit when they are in their 40s now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it really does seem like there's always going to be a selection of any band's fanbase that will wish for "a return to form" 5+ albums deep into a discography, 2 or 3 decades later. I still think ITI holds up well in 2020 but I can definitely respect the angles they took on this new one, and I'm finding myself enjoying it way more than I thought I would. Everyone saying that it takes a couple of full plays to really "click" is right on the nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah definitely true. I will never understand the mentality I suppose 🤷♂️ some bands are lauded for progression in sound while others are immediately panned.
