Which is your favorite Strokes release, bar Is This It?

Yeah, another stupid poll, sorry. It's just that I finally listened to the last Strokes record a few times, and of course I'm disappointed. I think the best of The Strokes can be found is their first two releases, when they sounded quite raw and unpolished. First Impressions was OK, but it was not at all at the level of the last two. And then Angles... Now this year's album is not that bad, it's just kinda uninteresting. I mean there are catchy things here and there, 50/50 is pretty cool, but that's all. What do you think? Do The Strokes have taken the right direction with their latest releases? Would they have repeated themselves if they had kept their early sound? More or less everyone holds Is This It as their best, but is there such a consensus about their second best?

by far Room On Fire is their second best. it's almost as good as Is This It but it came second, so it was less original.

for me:

2. Room On Fire 100/100
3. Angles 95/100
4. First Impressions Of Earth 90/100
5. Comedown Machine 85/100

Personally i think the strokes get WAY to much hate sometimes.
I understand not liking angles, but room on fire, first impressions and comedown machine are all severely underrated

Aside from Vision Of Division and Killing Lies I'd say everything on FIOE is pretty amazinf, and even those two are okay. But Room On Fire is the best post Is This It one. I still like every Strokes album in some way though, I have never gotten the hate that some people have for them. For me it goes Is This It > Room On Fir >First Impressions > Comedown Machine > Angles.

Vision Of Division is possibly may favorite song on First Impressions.
