Julian Casablancas -
Phrazes For the Young (2009)
This baby just leaked at 96kbps (which is only suitable for a preliminary evaluation, really).
Beats the pants off the last dodgy Strokes album and is a million miles away stylistically - an ambitious synth-pop album with epic track lengths (of which there are only 8 in total).
This rich kid's workrate leaves a lot to be desired, but the man can surely craft a choon.
