Better than Is This It. And it's not close.

This is like a reverse sandwich because the beginning and end are really good but the middle is just bland.

12:51 is such a fun song! Instantly picks up my mood!

A very good album, with many standout tracks. But there are certainly a few forgettable ones too, so ultimately it doesn't reach the level of Is This It. Must have been a daunting task following up that kind of debut, and they did an admirable job all things considered.

[Lowkey]

it's good but it's probably my third favorite release from them behind is this it and comedown machine

Maybe I loved Is This It too much. It gave me such high expectations for Room on Fire. And it's decent, but I've struggled to get into it even remotely the same way I got into Is This It. I need to revisit it.
