thousandjulys Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 so what do you guys think of this record? i kinda like it, but the bad songs are pretty bad. really like machu picchu, two kinds of happiness, and taken for a fool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidamnesiac Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Angles has actually grown on me a lot in the week or so that I've had it. I find myself humming the tune of Machu Picchu everywhere I go. I will say I still dislike that Julian sounds like Bono on a few of the tracks.

manicdogbert Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 they ARE the fucking strokes. thats why they can do whatever the crap they want and still be amaaazing. I am pretty freaking excited about this. there are a few bands in this world that I will buy every release from until I die, or until they just really start sucking (kings of leon), and the strokes is definitely one of them the strokes started sucking when Room on Fire came out.

jimmyg Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Got my copy today. The clear vinyl isn't really THAT clear and have yet to listen to it but the package is nice *sorry for the hugeness, have no idea about hosting photos!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I like the clear. That's UK only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popquizkid Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The vinyl looks cool but ironic or not that layout is hideous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyg Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I like the clear. That's UK only? Not that I'm aware of. I think they're all on clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkenney Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 everything I see says that the clear is UK, and the clear ones come up as being more expensive than the US release; US being like $14 and the clear UK one being about $27 USD: http://www.importcds.com/Music/1918079/Strokes-Angles-Vinyl-LP that also shows a later release date =\ I do want the clear though if they are available in the US. either way I really want one lolz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjkenney Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 oh maaan I don't want to hear that although I really liked Under Cover of Darkness, the b side wasn't my favorite; 'you're so right' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyg Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I really don't like it, but that is a first spin gut reaction, i'm sure I'll warm to it after a few more....It's just that my gut is usually right! It's just not what I was expecting at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymirrorspeaks Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 after listening to this album for a week I definitely love it. All the tracks I initially didn't like have grown on me. buying the vinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyg Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 That's what I'm hoping will happen after a few spins. I guess I was expecting it to be more like the first album, just from the bits and bobs I've read and the first single, but it's way more 'experimental' than I thought it would be, which isn't a bad thing by any shout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkenney Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 sooo I went to a local record store on lunch to buy Is This It, and the dude at the counter was a big enough sweetheart to dig Angles out of a box and say screw the street date. I listened to a couple songs on the A side before I had to come back to work and yeah it seems like this is going to be a grower. Thats how I was with their last album though so we shall see..

kidamnesiac Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 I hated this the first time I listened two weeks ago, but now I love it. Solid record. It's no Is This It, but it's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
