Is Reminder by Fiest supposed to be better than Is This It ?

If it's "almost perfect", shouldn't it be a 99 instead of an 100?

Anyway,

Is This It: 99/100
Room On Fire: 75/100

I haven't heard the other two.

Room on fire gathered enough points to be rated 100/100, but i admit that it is not perfect though. if i had a more precise scale, i would've rated it 97/100.
anyway i might reconsider my rating scale 🤡

"Is This It" - 90/100
Brilliant from start to finish. Not one bad song on it.

Room On Fire - 75/100
"Reptilia", "Automatic Stop" and "12:51" take it above average.

"First Impressions..." - 60/100
Average.

"Angles" - 30/100
Disjointed and just generally bad.

i adored them last year (maybe was a chart entry) not so much now, they seemed exciting at first and the quickly became boring and repetative. Is This it - 60/100 and bleugh to the rest. Except Reptilia and New York City Cops

I won't even bother to post mine, Because it will result in another inmature argument about how ‘Room on Fire’ has an A..

Hey, I had a worse start-out on this site. My first comment was about how I didn't really like the Sonic Youth.

Anyway, First Impressions Of Earth is my favourite Strokes album, by FAR.
Is This It is highly overrated, and unfortunately overshadows FIOE.

I've heard all of their albums 😄 , and my ratings go as such:

Is This It - 100/100 (one of the few albums I have given a perfect rating)
First Impressions Of Earth - 80/100
Angles - 60/100
Room On Fire - 55/100

lol 🤣 I want to hear more things about me. I never knew I had a reputation on this site :p

Anway, Macho Poncho is the best song they did

I haven't actually listened to angles in a while, so my impressions of it might change after another listen.
