it was a bit front loaded and no where near as good as Is This It, but it's definitely a good album.

It will be better than their pathetic effort of a 2011 album I bet. 5 years since their last album. 10 years since they were relevant. They really do need to fuck off. - Coming from someone who once loved the band, not just a Strokes basher.

the albums 2011? bummer I was hoping for it later this year.

I'm gonna keep optimistic, I mean, we haven't heard anything from it yet. Maybe they release an amazing single or something that blows all our minds? I dunno.

January. If this album is great, I will eat my copy of Is This It. The great thing about them was they were 4(?) lads in their early 20s singing about things that meant something to them. Drugs, women, the law, New York etc.

They were young lads that were hungry. Now they're in their 30s, they've made their great album and now they just aren't relevant anymore. We shall look forward to more mediocre releases.

I hope I'm dreadfully wrong.. But if they aren't even make it as a proper unit then they have no hope.

1. "You Only Live Once" – 3:09
2. "Juicebox" – 3:17
3. "Heart in a Cage" – 3:27
4. "Razorblade" – 3:29
5. "On the Other Side" – 4:38
6. "Vision of Division" – 4:20
7. "Ask Me Anything" (Casablancas, Nick Valensi) – 3:12
8. "Electricityscape" – 3:33
9. "Killing Lies" (Casablancas, Nikolai Fraiture) – 3:50
10. "Fear of Sleep" – 4:00
11. "15 Minutes" – 4:34
12. "Ize of the World" – 4:29
13. "Evening Sun" (Casablancas, Fabrizio Moretti) – 3:06
14. "Red Light" – 3:11

The only song that isn't terrible is "Juicebox" and that gets boring after about 12 seconds.

Vision of Division is one of the best things they've ever done.

Not actually a band, but an artist I think we'll still be talking about in 25 years is Madlib.

I only know about him because of MB... If you're talking about the general public, no way. If you're talking about future music lovers (like future MBers), maybe.

They're a great fucking band though and despite age they're still writing songs that in my eyes are relevant and songs of a high quality. The Strokes don't have the talent to carry on with music and still make their songwriting fresh and relevant to the listener. First Impressions sounded like a B-side album of Is This It.
