well The Strokes have always been good on copping their sound from much superior products. Never a band known for originality. Their first album was good in a throwback to the garage type of way, they were a good part of the third wave garage rock trend, and made a fun album that made up for it's shortcomings of never being original.
I am not that interested in what The Strokes can do, but their first album was an indication that they can take something tried and true, and at least make it fun to listen to.
But after that they just went down more and more... getting more boring as they go. Angles is just a rock bottom product of mediocrity.
I am sure even by their standards they are able to do much better, just a shame they never will.
People need to stop sucking the dick of a band whose shelf life was limited, and are past their expiration date.
Amazing would be unique, different, a spin on something... originality. But as I say, that was never The Strokes call to fame.
