Opening track is such a welcome surprise. I still need to listen to the rest but Julian’s voice sounds the best it has ever sounded on this one. Not sure if he sobered up, took some singing lessons or this is all Rick Rubin pulling wizard tricks.

Yes - opening track seems strong. The Strokes are so drenched in nostalgia for me: very strong memories of 2001 when they were ubiquitous.

Eternal Summer is the only one I'm not totally sold on right now.

need to hear this, big Comedown Machine fanI feel kinda bad I feel like these guys can't win, no matter what they do it's going to be compared unfavorably to the first two

i like this record a lot but the tempo is generally pretty sleepy, whereas comedown machine has that mania i crave

this album and the last one should switch titles

completely baffled that RYM has decided this is their long-awaited return-to-form, not Comedown Machine
like this album is solid enough with a few real highlights but it's got nothing on Comedown Machine
