I know The Strokes as the band that had the hit Last Nite.. and from nothing else. This is the first time I was listening to their whole album and the results just came back - I don't like it. I understand that they revived the garage rock genre, but was it really necessary? We were doing pretty well as a humanity without bands like that. Honestly though, it's a very boring album, slow and uneventful, with a vocalist that is slowly drilling a hole in your head. Nothing I really hated, but it was definitely an unpleasant album to listen to.
