I think most people would probably disagree with me, just because they can but regardless of what the band, critics or some fans feel about angles in particular. I got to get this off my chest. Ironically, Angles is this generation's Parallel Lines but without the huge impact. It's truly a classic new wave project....I still don't understand why it's not received as a classic, maybe new wave is an acquired taste but I love how they wear their influences on their sleeves/pay homage but at the same time...don't get it fucked up. This is not just a copy and paste kinda of album or a tribute album... they still came with unique songs that push the genre of new wave forward and gave it an update the way the strokes can only do it. Macchu Piccu, Games, You're So Right, Call Me Back, Taken For A Fool and Metabolism showcase that well. Even if this album isn't your taste, objectively the songwriting is still pretty strong. The only weak thing you can say about this album is that the mixing and mastering can be messy/sloppy at times but who wants the strokes to sound all clean and pristine...not me and I hope you wouldn't want that either. This is at least a 8/10 to a 10/10 album easily it'll never not be an excellent exercise in new wave/power pop music especially in the past two decades. How is this not a great album? I don't understand all the mixed and negative reviews. Also what's a legit new wave/power pop album in the past 20 years that is better or you might deem a classic? Please leave some recommendations below....I ask this assuming that you like this type of music but don't think Angels is executed well or a great/classic project from top to bottom?

Dorked out last time I revisited Angles and made a “Cut-the-Fat” version, try it out. 1. Macchu Picchu 2. Two Kinds of Happiness 3. Games 4. You’re So Right 5. Taken for a Fool 6. Call Me Back 7. Gratisfaction 8. Life is Simple in the Moonlight Tracks are moved around a little but I think it really flows. Finally realized that “Under Cover of Darkness” does more harm than good. It will always feel like the “guess who’s baaack” Strokes song. Julian is weirdly strained on it, and it just reeks of the famously tense conditions of the album’s recording sessions. Take it away (along with the well-intentioned but clunky “Metabolism”) and you have a surprisingly lighthearted, quirky and colorful new wave record. And “Taken For a Fool” is absolutely one of the band’s best songs.

It kind of reminds me of a Lemon Demon album that takes it self a bit more seriously.

S Tier: Is This It, Room on Fire A Tier: The New Abnormal B Tier: First Impressions of Earth C Tier: Angles E Tier: Comedown Machine In the past year, my opinion has changed. My taste in music is slightly different, and I saw The Strokes in Barcelona! Anyway, Comedown Machine moved up to B Tier for me.

Angles is so good

HELL YES MY FAVORITE BAND

I totally agree on the Room On Fire tiering. It's one of only 4 albums (of any genre or artist), that I like every song on (that I've listened to thus far in my life).

Comedown Machine was the album that came out the year I graduated highschool and it helped me through some hard times. It might be a nostalgia thing but I still to this day listen to Comedown Machine often and I love the tracks on that record so much.

I don’t get it. Honestly fuck you there were really good songs on conedown machine. I enjoy it more than Angles by far. I think you were probably going through a rough patch in your life at the time Anthony and it got in the way of your appreciation for the songs on that album that kick ass. You also didn’t have much appreciation for “....like clockwork” by qotsa that came out the same year. It makes me sus about your ratings of other things from that particular time period because I can’t see anything wrong with either of those records

Same. I guess the argument to me is that “it’s not really a Strokes record” which is a really infantile way at looking at music. Each track should be examined on its own merits and if you do that the melody writing is super strong, production is great, maybe one or two weak tracks but over all doesn’t deserve E tier as an album golly

Anthony the way you described the “is this it” (butt cover) was incredibly gross. Worst of all there was no need to talk about it for 14 minutes and 29 seconds.

It's funny how every Strokes album artwork is also an indication of how good their album is.

I like the tier list series and I know it’s an easier way to do what is effectively the worst to best series, but I gotta say I miss the worst to best series. It was just always such a journey and I loved the anticipation as anthony made his way to the best stuff.

For me Is This It and Room on Fire are on the same level as Unknown Pleasures/Closer, Definitely Maybe/(What's The Story) Morning Glory, Slanted and Enchanted/Crooked Rain Crooked Rain, Surfer Rosa/Doolittle etc - basically where the 2nd album builds on the first, adds more colour and defines the sound a bit more but doesnt have the zeitgeist-shifting baggage of the first

I understand why you name them collumns because usually in a table the collumns represent the categories and rows would be the cases

Where’s the “future present past” EP at tho??

Very cool video anthony, can you make a The Epilepsy Tier List next?

Well, I guess it's cool to know I'm a more hardcore Strokes fan than Fantano

cool list, always glad to see these especially when I haven’t heard every single album from an artist I enjoy a lot!

First time I heard Comedown Machine I thought it was fairly forgettable but it's actually the album that I end up coming back to the most. I know it's weird in a lot of places but the mood across the record hits hard for me and I personally love the electronic/synth elements. Crazy enough I guess it's my favorite album and Call It Fate, Call It Karma is easily top 5 of their songs.

Day 4 of asking Anthony to review LMFAO - Party Rock and Sorry for Party Rocking

Loving this strokes content tbh

LOVE THESE. Would love to see a Floyd tear list or some more classic rock tear lists

Seeing as "The Strokes" are genuinely one of my favorite bands, and the biggest reason for my love of music, I can appreciate every album. That being said I can also definitely see your point of view. Like me personally I absolutely adore Angles and Comedown Machine. Besides "All The Time" I like every song, with One Way Trigger, Partners In Crime, and Happy Ending being 3 of my all time favorite Strokes songs! But I mean we'd probably have "First Impressions" at the same spot. Half of them I think are great, half I think are the worst songs they've ever made haha. Anyways loved seeing ya talk about one of my favorites!

i find myself coming back to comedown machine more than any other album that the strokes have made. i don’t know about the people being upset with people who don’t like it bc if you don’t like it you don’t like it, but idk there’s something about it that i love 🤷🏼‍♂️

I still don't know why FIOE gets so hated, I loved the epicness and the heavy sounding guitars and drums, the Strokes on it's peak in my opinion

Yep

Thank you for not putting Room on Fire in the shadow of Is This It : it's just as perfect as the first. My favourite Strokes album

Comedown Machine is the most underrated album of the 2010s. Tap Out is one of the Strokes best songs

Is This It classic review when

Ok, hear me out, The New Abnormal is the best Strokes album, it just hasn't aged enough yet to be considered a classic like Is This It (I consider both S tiers btw, but I think TNA is better). I think TNA has the same mood and energy from ITI, which is already impressive, but it builds so much more on top of it, with great song structures, almost always having a triumphant finale, MULTIPLE great melodies in EACH song, perfect track order (the Ode To The Mets finish is probably the best ending track a album could have), etc... And it shows the band going in a great direction moving forward, they're actually enjoying making music again, and it really shows.

their first and second album legit feel like a pt 1 & 2. I mix up the track lists so much between them so much because of how good each one ended up being

“Room on Fire is just a fire freaking record” I felt that, Melon

Glad to see Room on Fire get some love. My personal favorite of theirs

I'm gonna need a Pink Floyd tier list. I NEED IT!!!!!!👀 👀

Good stuff melon, didn't expect this one to come out! I would put ITI and TNA at S tier, ROF at A tier, Angles and CM at B tier, then FIoE at C tier. I've been a Strokes fan for like 7 years now, really excited for what's next, especially with TNA being so good. Also I would put The Voidz' Virtue at A tier. I didn't really like their debut and I don't know where to put that one exactly.

As far as strokes albums go... what else could be said? Different strokes for different folks, lol

The debut and ROF are no brainers. I would say that Angles is extremely underrated and sounds great today.

Anthony, putting my dad’s stroke attack at F tier was very unnecessary.

Comedown Machine is #3 for me. It’s like Casablancas recorded Instant Crush with Daft Punk and was inspired to make The Strokes version of a largely pop album. I love it.

I absolutely adore First Impressions. I didnt know a lot of people hated it 😢

I really enjoyed Comedown machine, and still do. I think it's their most underrated album
