That still leaves like 11 songs. And those 11 songs are like their best work. FiE would be their best album if they took out a few of the filler sings cuz they would still have enough material for a great album

Adrian Gonzalez it’s all subjective. Personally I couldn’t stand comedown machine besides call it fate, which is very ironic to ur comment but the points not which albums are good and bad the important thing is that we all like the strokes lol

It’s incredible that this band is 20 years old and this is the best they’ve ever sounded in some tracks. Julians vocals are definitely at the best point in the bands history. Also very weird to be able to understand him

Ode to the Mets most nostalgia song on the album

“8/10” Anthony you’re supposed to rate the album, not your “stroke game”. Furthermore, please refrain from referring to my uncle as your “proof”.

I think Anthony is like the hardest to understand what his style is. One moment he is a flanel wearing hipster and the next he is a russian.

As someone who's been a fan of the strokes for a long time, i probably revisit comedown the most. It's super peppy and I love the variation of sound from track to track. Welcome to Japan is funky as hell, One Way Trigger is an electronic bop, 80s Comedown has got that blissful depression vibe, and Call It Fate Call It Karma sounds like being on ambien

This album came out at the perfect time. Usually I like heavier music with minor synthetic sounds. But right now with how crazy my life is I’ve been listening to calmer more synth heavy music. Something about a lot of this album feels calm but chaotic. Love it.

But "Eternal Summer" is so good Anthony. It's like their best attempt at a Voidz song with some Sandinista-Clash influence here and there.

Hey theneedledrop, I remember seeing a quick explanation from the Stokes about 'Eternal Summer' and they did say Ruben asked them to just start playing something and they randomly came up with that on the fly, so I can understand it not being completely polished, but I really like it's honest-raw approach to songwriting and exploration.

there is a lot of "meta" lyrics in the lp like first when julian says "break" and "can we switch into the chorus" in brooklyn bridge to chorus, but also in at the door with "struck me like a chord" and finally which "drums please fab" in ode to the mets. i can't remember witch song but i think i remember an older strokes' one with the same kind of lyrics...

Damn Anthony, you didn't have to spend a whole 4 minutes making fun of people who died from strokes.

Anthony saying “THIS IS IT” for 20 minutes isn’t original

5:23 *Eternal* Summer Thought that voiceover wouldn’t catch an ear, Antoine Fantoine?

When I first listened to the new album their were 3 songs I didn't particularly like. Brooklyn Bridge to Chorus, Why are Sundays so depressing, and eternal summer. But I kept listening to them and the more I listened to them the more I enjoyed and appreciated them. The entire album grew on me the more I listened which is usually not the case for me. I tend to get tired of songs in a week or so if I consistently listen to them all the time but these only got better and better. I don't know how they pulled this one off

they’ve put out a lot of bad reviews over the years but giving this album a 5.7 is one of their worst

Anthony, holding a belt and screaming “the adult is talking! the adult is talking!” at the band for ten minutes then giving their record a 0 is not a review.

To those wondering about the lack of a yellow flannel, here’s my personal take: it seems like Fantano already figured plenty of people had made up their opinion on the record, or were already gonna click on the review immediately that he didn’t feel the need to wear the yellow flannel. I sense that he usually wears it for reviews of records or artists that wouldn’t normally get a ton of attention and the Strokes are nowhere near that kind of band. Plenty of non-subscribers are gonna be visiting this video purely because it’s about the Strokes and not because of a flannel color.
