The Strokes' third album proved to be much more mature and produced. They took a new direction with this one, which I can't blame them. Their second LP Room On Fire sounded almost exactly like their flawless debut, but for some reason I find myself liking it better. So this album is mostly just the strokes telling us they can do more than just the raw rock sound they showed us on their first two albums.
This is a song album, as I found their first two were album albums so to speak. What I mean by that is this album doesn't flow as well as the other two, the individual songs are great and I actually love their new sound, but it just doesn't fit together.
I'm not accusing it as being choppy, I'm just comparing it to their other albums, I mean after making two albums like they did, you can't help but compare every move they make to their previous work. That being said I don't think this album is nearly as good as the others, it is a very good album, but for lack of a better phase, their worst.
My Rating: 7.0/10
So this leaves me curious, what do you think the order of the strokes' albums are? Pleases list what you think...
please list them best to worst
