Ive always thought The Strokes were a good band that didn't quite live up to their potential. Some of their melodies were really good but then Julian would f*ck them up, exmpl this song.
For the most part the string section had a well defined sound, it wasn't anything that special but it had a signature Strokes sound the problem is Julian didn't always find a vocal melody that would compliment the songs and instead would go on to his little world and write from there. Jim morrison could pull off something like that but i don't think Julian can and honestly.. i just don't like the guy. he rubs me the wrong way for some reason.
