The Strokes to me (generally speaking here, not just in reference to CDM) are a solid band. They don't make blow-away albums, but their output is consistent. A band I'd love to see in concert honestly. Each album has a few tracks I really loved.

If anyone wants to make a best-of on Spotify, please send it my way, I'd love to hear deep-cuts you guys like.
I've seen the Strokes live, they certainly do put on a great show and their crowds are always lively and there for a good time. I liked a few cuts from the new album. I wouldn't call it one of their best, but it certainly isnt a huge stray from what they're known for. I think most bands that play similar time measures, try to expand on their rhythym and that causes their sound to change. The Strokes strayed on a few songs on this record which i didn't particularly enjoy but overall its decent enough for a listen now and again.
