I cannot wait for this album to come out! It has been almost 5 years and I miss their sound. From the first moment I heard The Strokes I knew they where huge and maybe even ahead of their time.
I think way back to Last Night and its a real classic... but in reality their whole first album is brilliant. When I first bought it was in my walkman (yes walkman!) 24/7. I would listen to Is This It inside and out, breaking a part each song in my head: just bass, just lead guitar, just rhythm guitar, just drums, and of course just vocals. The sounds they produced in my mind were the perfect equation. Ever since then I've been on their side.
Like a trusting child, I want to hold their hand and be pulled, gamboling through their new album.
Julian said somewhere that this new album might sound like a "mixture of 70s rock and music from the future" but I would say that this is exactly what they've been doing all along. It's always been beyond the cutting edge and beyond hip.
Stoked.
