and like, Kill The Moonlight is just such a... good-sounding album!I don't know how to explain it, I put it on when I have a headache & the headache magically goes away. because the sounds are so good

imo these are two of the best strokes songs ever

one good thing about this poll is i made me go back through the strokes stuff on spotify and man did I underrated Comedown Machine! feel like maybe we all just weren't in a place to care about a new strokes album at the time. guitar work on that is bonkers, hammond is running so many efx to made his guitar sound like the synths on "take on me" by a-ha
actually angles is better/weirder than i remember it too

great strokes album could be made out of combining first impressions and angles

i never checked out comedown machine until last week thanks to that ghastly "take on me" rip they'd released, but some of it was surprisingly pretty. also surprisingly/ironically similar to phoenix. would have thought they'd be too self-conscious to jock the steez of their steez-jockers

wow first impressions is worse than it was in my memory

horribly brickwalled, too

You Only Live Once, Juicebox, Heart in a Cage, Razorblade, Ask Me Anything, Electricityscape, Fear of Sleep, 15 Minutes and Ize of the World are the keepers on First Impressions. Throw in Juicebox's B-Side Hawaii and that's a solid album.
I really liked Angles when it came out but looking at the track listing now I only really remember the first two songs.
Agree that Comedown Machine is pretty underrated. I really didn't think they had a song like Call It Fate Call It Karma in them.

Always found his Shane MacGowan really entertaining.
