  • I used to hate this song. I only used to listen to the the beggining. But now that i listen to the whole thing and i let it grow on me i LOVE IT! :)

  • 1st time listening *mind blown like a balloon filled with awesomeness*

  • here what i got:

    tell me what happened (x3) if you like

    get off on the same floor (x3) every night

    what are the reasons (x3) to fight(find) more?

    i wanna tell you (x3) nothing more

    (girl)yeah, my mind give a hand

    never once give a damn

    (continues below..)

  • i'm done with the office (x3) hello forest

    still want to ask you (x3) something more

    (girl)yeah, my mind give a hand

    never once give a damn

    i don't want to fight, don't wanna pay you anymore(x3)

    i don't wanna argue (x3) you think you want

    i wouldn't hurt you (x3) maybe i hurt you if i could

  • in my comment below, i'm changing the "never was" to a maybe "never once".

  • what are the lyrics on the versus? i looked everywhere and all of them are the same incorrect lyrics. i know that he says something like: "girl(?), my mind..." and then in the second parte: never was ..." i do think is "giving a damn", but not sure. can someone help me? it's more easy if you listen to a live version.

  • That fast lick in the solo comes from nowhere, fucking love it.

  • Eh. I've recently been looking up songs from this latest album and ehh. Feels half assed. What kinda vocals are these? I'm getting a stroke from how bad this album is.

  • @RedCrescentDemon I had a stroke and I'm sure only a killer album would make me feel like that again.

  • @kevinx237 I don't think this album can come close to the last 3. But I've noticed that with the Strokes, after hearing their albums, I end up only liking 2 or 3 songs from each. I only liked 2 songs from this album: Under Cover Of Darkness, and Taken For a Fool. All the others just didn't do it for me.

  • @RedCrescentDemon You don't think Life is simple in the moonlight is one of the greatest songs ever? Or Macchu Piccu? Games is good too. Aisde from what I've mentioned and what you have, the rest of the album is mediocre.

  • @kevinx237 Personally all the other songs felt like Julian was singing so half-assed. His words were near-unintelligible, which was never like that before. Sounded like he just woke up in the morning to do studio work and half assed on all the other songs.Also, his voice was pushed in the background, which was something that really bothered me. Being a fan of his voice, I wanted to hear his voice stand out more, like in his other songs.

  • This song was completely written by Nikolai Fraiture.... Man... I love this band

  • I like it ... !

    I love the strokes!!! <3

  • 279 people aren´t right

  • That fucking solo, so short and punchy!

  • Top fucking tunne. SIMPLY AMAZING!!!

  • So I just got some legitimate $100 headphones and was a little disappointed by the bass in the other Strokes songs but leave it to the bassist to craft the song that can rock these Sennheisers. Good song regardless :)

  • I can already see this becoming one of those albums everyone hates at first, but within a few years becomes ridiculously popular and hailed as one of their best. Pinkerton effect.

  • @PhoneHomeProduction This album has nearly been out a year, what are you talking about?

  • @Rewnskeyp One year certainly isn't enough time.

  • @PhoneHomeProduction More like Maladroit

  • the strokes are so right.

  • every band big in the 2000s sucks now in the 2010s

  • @playerdepimp lol give it a year... and btw you could probably say that for any decade...lol

  • @netforce0 lol totally

  • this and macchu picchu too much electronic. i dont like thoses musics

  • nikolai wrote this single

    goodjob

  • I personally don't care if no one else likes this album

  • Is This It classic, this is crap

  • this is the worst music of all the musics that the strokes have been done

  • this music is a shit

  • Comment removed

  • estaa rola me conmueve

  • Lol completely polar opposite top comments. Kinda hard to kno what this reveals about general public opinion

  • can we compare - is this it, and angles - this is the only song i like from angles.

  • The Strokes never fail they're fucking geniuses I love every single of they're songs/albums!!!! Proud The Strokes Fan

  • Move on fuckers... the old days are the old days for a reason.

  • it sounds like these new puritans.

  • so...its a tie between the top two comments?

  • @trinklepigs Not anymore >:D

  • This is one my favorites on the new album. I don't how they get away with having crappy drum sounds on a song actually be a cool thing though. They're like one of the only bands that can pull that off.

  • Wow the top comments are completely different

  • This album is fantastic, their earlier shit is fantastic, I'm unbiased, I've consumed their entire discography in two days, I came from Blur and Suede and the Third Wave scene to discover The Strokes, they are class, top class and furthermore can change style successfully, much like Blur and Suede they are maturing, I saw the same evolutions lose fans for those two but gain musical respect, and that's what's important, it's great music.

  • That awkward moment when the 2 top comments are completely opposite opinions.

  • I'm actually starting to like Angles even more than Is This It! But only by a little bit.

  • Does anybody know if this is in 4-4?

  • I initially hated angles. As I gave it a few more listening to I found it to be a decent album. Life is simple in the moonlight is great and games is a fun track. I agree not as good as their earlier stuff but, still a good album.

  • Why don't the strokes gig in the UK?? i've been wondering this for ages :L

  • I personally think this is one of their best albums. When I got the album I could not stop listening to it.

  • @JavaLavaIce Yep. This is my favorite Strokes album. I don't know why.

  • great song from a great album.. don't compare to the ones before, those are.. genius..

    anyways, not as good as expected but still better than 99% (i think) of bullshit music we hear today

  • the album is good it is just this is all the came up with after six year

  • People keep comparing new albums with old albums! Can you qualify something individually? Is always the same! ...They tried to do something new, different, and they scored!

  • In my opinion i would say that they definitely have some post punk influences...

  • Are we sure this isn't a Liars song? Because it really sounds like Plaster Casts of Everything. Like, a lot.

    I like it, though.

  • @Cerpin1 no

  • @MyBleedingRoses19

    Suck my nut 

  • @E3tiger ...........

  • @bluespaceships00 i'm sorry, how does thom yorke's personality come into this? Am I missing something?

  • I actually like this. gives me radiohead-ish vibes. it's weird. I dunno.

  • @MyBleedingRoses19 I know exactly what you mean.

  • Favorite song on this album. :)

  • Comment removed

  • @onekindle one of the best bands ever dude, don't disrespect

  • i'm getting high

  • Shouldve been the last song instead of LiSitM

  • Love it, love jules. But personally i prefer songs like under control..

    Guys, stop arguing! For heaven's sake!

  • i dont know what´s your problem, i love this song!!! yes, it is different than the "normal" strokes stuff, but damn... it is great, just listen the beat, lyrics, guitar, voice, there is something magical about it

  • The Strokes are my favorite band but Angles is shit compared to their other albums...

  • @theKCRoyalty what?! dude, this album is great!

  • @theKCRoyalty If they're your favourite band, it's pretty shitty of you to just write off Angles as "shit"; they've been around for ages, they're entitled to try other styles rather than continuously sounding the same. They're way smarter than that.

  • @theKCRoyalty You're nuts. Best since Is This It? by a good margin.

  • @theKCRoyalty shut up. Angles is great within itself. I don't care what band wrote it, it doesn't suck; rather, it shows necessary evolution in the band's sound. Radiohead did it (compare The Bends to Kid A), the Black Keys did it (The Big Come Up to Brothers), and they're still great. I love the Strokes as much as the next guy, and this album is a breath of fresh air. Sorry you're too much of a damn hipster to appreciate Angles.

  • @victorrosales91 Yeah. Shockingly, I'm not against the evolution of a band's sound, I simply don't like Angles and there's nothing wrong with that. And it's very "hipster" to be intolerant of the idea that other people could have different opinions of music (fancy that!), so think about that before you try to label ME with that shit...

  • @theKCRoyalty agreed. I hope it was gonna be more like FIOE, but pushed further, newer, and weirder

  • @theKCRoyalty I agree with you to the point that Angles is nothing like their other albums, but I wouldnt label it just as shit. The Strokes are a band that hasn't changed their musical style in years. So when most people hear Angles and say it sucks because it sounds different they're mostly just upset because it wasn't what theyd expected. The Strokes took a risk trying a new style out and lost some recognition for it. But for people who like techno/indie I'd say this is a great album for them

  • @theKCRoyalty it's better than FIOE

  • @theKCRoyalty Yeah i heard that recording the album was crap. Julian wasn't around much while recording, the band members were by themselves, Albert had to go to rehab...

  • @theKCRoyalty I agree so hard man

  • that guitar solo made me so happy that two dots and a capital D are not enough to show my happiness

  • ??????????

  • this isnt bad, its good, but its just not them.

  • strokes are really getting a new level... i mean, every album they are better musicians... it's different, it's great

  • @rubyhaleybenjamin So that's why shit went downhill. I knew something didn't feel right.

  • radiohead?????? ha lol

  • @circasurvive777 yes..............

  • @MyBleedingRoses19 i kinda miss ol strokes...

  • Comment removed

  • Basura

  • JUlian es bueno pero hammond es el rey

  • I think they're trying to be Radiohead.

  • This song makes me rub myself ( in a non-sexual way) :S

  • 1:44 its really crazy !!

  • listen to this, new band, new song

    artist:sessil

    title: airy lights

  • wow rip off Thom Yorke much.

  • this is kinda unique alright.

  • Am I the only one who thinks this sounds so much like 'River of brakelights' by Julian..

  • is the best song of the album !

  • What the fuck are the lyrics on the chorus?

  • The Strokes are an amazing band I don't care what anybody says I LOVE THE STROKES <333 :D

  • artists evolve thats a given that dosnt mean becasue you liked a bands early stuff u owe them and have to like their new direction,

    Angles was a change for the strokes the whole band contributed to it and you can tell its not as organized as thier ealy work<

    wheather or not you like it sohuld have ntohing to do with ur opnion of Room on FIre or First impressions

  • least favorite from angles

  • Oasis - Gotten worse, transformed into Beady Eye.

    Arctic Monkeys - Gotten Worse.

    Radiohead - Gotten worse

    The Strokes - CHANGED.

  • @oozium1198

    Bon Scott - Dead

    Ian Curtis - Dead

    Kurt Cobain - Dead

    Elvis - Lives?

    Jesus - Saves?

    My Mum - Best meatballs

    YouTube Comments - Suck Ass

  • @oozium1198 lol? Oasis was always shitty and so was Arctic Monkeys. Radiohead has always gotten better and better, and same with the Strokes.

  • @oozium1198 Radiohead gotten worse?, mmmm, ok, maybe they dont get better , but only cos they stay at the top.

  • @oozium1198 you have somewhat of a point.

    1. I never fucking liked Oasis, so i dont give a fuck.

    2. Humbug was in-fucking-credible, Suck it and See is ok, the b-sides are better than half the songs on the album. Josh Homme should have produced it again, he would have made it a million times better

    3. Radiohead's King of Limbs is not better than their past albums, but it is still really good and they are the biggest band in the world today.

    4. Angles .... isnt bad, it's good.

  • @oozium1198 Radiohead are still fucking amazing. Though they dropped from super-epic-eargasm-machine to simply epic-eargasm-machine.

    What I mean is, they were better, but they're still incredible. The Strokes on the other hand, they've changed for the worse I'm afraid, I found First Impressions of Earth different but still quite enjoyable, but Angles... I just can't wrap myself around it. I listened to it and did not like a single song.

    Now I'm giving it another chance, but so far nothing.

  • @oozium1198 disagree on all except Oasis - couldn't give a shit about them.

  • @oozium1198 Radiohead gotten worse? wtf dude, RAdiohead changed-

  • Start staring at the floor and i swear it starts to move!

  • @DELTAMAN40 that's just the chemicals still in your system. they never really leave once they get in there...

  • Thumbs up if you pee on the side of the toilet so it doesn't make noise!

  • beginning sounds a little bit like a Radiohead song..

  • @EdgarThe12th yeah thought the whole song had the same kinda vibe.

  • eh its alright.....kinda like old strokes.

  • @blamejews no its not at all, evidenced by the top comment screaming at us for not liking this new style as much as him.

  • Haters gonna hate

  • Why do people keep quoting "Hello Forest"?

  • wa wa wa wow wow wa wa wa wow wow wa wa wa wow wow wow wow wow

  • This is the best song ever back up haters!!!!!!!

  • fugly song!!!

  • totally awesome, a good combo of dark electro, 80´s sounds, alter rock & good guitars

  • The only one that should have been never done :/

    But the rest of the album is just amazing.

  • @Lugiazul This is one of my favourite songs on the album I don't know you're talking about. The mix is brilliant.

  • @HideFromFacebook That's your musical taste then, like I have my own. So, just respect my opinion like I do with yours.

  • @Lugiazul I-- Uh... wow. You are a great person. Please continue to be great. 

  • i honestly dont think the strokes changed theyre style at all

  • i like it in the ess hole

  • reminds me radiohead's airbag..

    4 me, this is such a fantastic album!

  • me encanta esta cancion

  • FAB IS FUCKIN FAST..O-O

  • I was totally out cold from the real world for the past 2:34 which was my favorite part of the whole day.

  • awesome!

  • 262 people are SO WRONG

  • The lick at :36 reminds me of the lick near the beginning of Radiohead's Paranoid Android. The entire thing sounds like it has Radiohead influences but it's not trying to be Radiohead. It's their own awesome, unique sound.

  • @AvaricePanda The whole time I was listening to this the first time, I was thinking...this reminds me of something else...you nailed it. :)

  • The People That thumbs down for this "Are So Wrong"

  • This is quite a good song.

  • blah blah blah bitch bitch bitch. This is the third best song on the album, after Machu Picchu and Life is Simple in the Moonlight.

  • @chaosrocksmysox *caugh* Taken for a fool *caugh* lol

  • @chaosrocksmysox Both of those songs are fucking terrible.

  • Is it just me, or does the song just fall into the uncanny valley at about 1:40? To me, it sounds more like a computer trying to imitate Julian's voice rather than him singing. Creepy. I love this song.

  • I don't hear anything wrong with this. Hipsters need to shut the fuck up. If you had picked this up for the first time and it didn't saw Strokes on it, you'd think it was good. But you're thinking about arbitrary bullshit factors like time and reputation. If you truly enjoyed music you'd enjoy an artists' evolution (as well as different genres and sounds). It's all notes, and it's all music. Get the fuck over yourself.

  • Isn't it a Nikolai's composition ?

  • OĆU TVOJIH 15 PREZIMENA DA ZNAM SVE TVOJE ŽIVOTE DA VIDIM TEBE DA ME MOŽEŠ U OČI POGLEDAT hezel

  • @KukuCaka yeah well so do you.

  • @KukaCuka I was right, this album does sucks.

  • my new fve band

  • I wanna be adored?

  • is that regina spektor in teh background? :o

  • :D

  • eargasm...

  • @cait234yo Over-used-comment- gasm

  • very much the strokes...but possessed by kraftwerk

  • Radiohead + Franz Ferdinand = This song

  • Is It Just Me Or Does This Remind You Of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World O.O

  • @Joeeseeee The intro song to teh movie? Yes... very much so... lol.?

  • @Joeeseeee OK now that you said it's in my head >.< Like a weird nega-Scott fight (if it REALLY went down)

  • I came across this while rippin my bong.. Definitely brought me up a level!

    Pretty sweet song

  • Thumbs down to get rid of my pointless comment..

  • "I..... don't want to fight...."

    01:44 - 02:11

    AAAHHHH FUCK YEEEAAAAHHHHH

  • least favorite on the album but that doesnt say much 'cuz i love all the songs on there.

  • WOW the harmonies between Julian and the girl are CHILLING. I've never heard anything like it before, i love it. 1:50 ish

  • it sound like a videogame

  • 256 disliked they so wrong!!!

  • arctic monkeys are better
