arguing the genre is retarded seeing as FIOE and Is This It sound like they are from 2 completely different bands. The strokes have gotten progressively worse with each album; FIOE was honestly awful apart from 3-4 songs. Someone should have told them not to mess with a good thing. They had such a unique sound when they first arrived, and now they're just, "eh." I really hope the 4th album which is set to be worked on starting this summer is a return to form for such a great and talented band. And before you start bashing me, realize that i am an absolutely huge strokes fan, and Is This It is probably my favorite album ever. So much so that i went out of my way to get the imported European version with NYC Cops on it and the cover with the naked lady lol. If you haven't listened to that album all the way through then you honestly haven't lived yet.
