@BangsOrangutan I gotta give you a thumbs up for being so honest. I don't like it either. A lot of new (fags) fans don't know how good he was back in the day when the Strokes first came out! Not hatin', just sayin'. : /
"I was at a party, and I saw a guy with a leather jacket, and I thought, 'That's cool'. Then I saw a guy with a leather vest and I thought, 'That's not cool'. It was then that I realized what coolness is all about... leather sleeves."
@1951coolman I don't think he's only good in boombox but he sang differently and this kind of sound (we never heard J. Casablancas sing like this) is really great with his voice. However, I believe that he can do every kind of music he wants because he's very talented and he's the best singer when he's with the Strokes.
I'm happy cause the next david letterman performance is gonna be with the guys... don't get me wrong,,, i like this record but nothing is better than The Strokes
I'm happy cause the next david letterman performance is gonna be with the guys... don't get me wrong,,, i like this record but nothing is better than The Strokes
His voice is so impressive. He sounds exactly the same live as on recording which means of course that he isn't using any studio tricks. He's a natural talent. I love those loooooow tones. What a cool artist.
I've never listened to this kind of music before, my opinion has always been that it's boring. But after I heard Boombox with Julian and The lonely island i checked him out and BOY AM I GLAD THAT I DID! Lovely guy, really talented. And cute!
Love Julian, but I don't like the band he plays with. They don't preform at par with the Strokes (at sound anything like the studio recording). His voice is the only thing carrying this song.
Jules rules, but the Fallon performance was better. River of Brakelights is such an amazing song live! Phrazes for the Young might be the first classic record of this decade. His touring band is amazing!
Absolutely awesome, love this song... The volume's pretty low, though... I've got YouTube, my computer and my headphones on maximum volume, and it's still rather low... :P
saw this guy with the strokes in 2000 at a festival in scotland called t in the park before anyone knew who they were, i knew then he was gonna be the real deal!
agreed .did i already say this.pitchfork like a lot of bad music.they have cloth ears.brian jonestown massacres my bloody underground is amazing and it got dirt review . if i met someone who wrote wrote for pitchfork i would think..oh ...yeah .ALL STROKES IS AWESOME.i would have left 2 songs off the last album.maybe 2 off the one before.B sides.people have lost the concept of the b side.there is no b side
Does anyone notice " the guru" jp playing the butterscotch telecaster? He's the shit and the true man behind the sound of The Strokes etc. I think he's our George Martin!
Wow. Just got done listening to the whole album, then listened to it again. Then I decided to go for a bike ride....even though I already rode for 2 hours earlier, just as an excuse to listen to it again.
Incredible album and its definitely going to hold me over for a new Strokes album
I wonder if in say a year we are going to get all the pop chavs on board saying wow who's this new band? It reminds me of sex on fire. fucking common muck. the strokes have always been on top, the conformists just forgot.
Nah, I think the problem is that he ISN'T drunk. His old performances are a looot better, and that's when he was more into booze and drugs. I think he's just nervous now, and it shows. Terrible stage presence - album is still ace though.
the additional percussionist is quite a nice touch as well.
when the strokes played letterman once before, as they leave the stage the house bands looking at them kind of blown away by their performance, & julian gives a look as if to say, "that's how it's done".
