Maybe it's not the most complex album you will hear, maybe it's not the most original thing, and maybe the lyrics aren't profound or something like that, but this album and the way It was recorded, It has an aura on It. You feel like you were is the studio with them, trying to create something, singing about New York and their lifestyles, you feel like you are one of them, and that I think is what made The Strokes so big.

Somehow, The Strokes manages to create an album with three or maybe four whole tempos, and still create one of the best debut albums I've ever heard. It such a tight album with simple great riffs and, just soooo good. Julian's singing feels like he belongs so well with the band, and there're so many memorable songs. "Is This It", "Someday", "Last Nite" "Hard to Explain", are so great and catchy. I could see why someone would feel like it's repetitive, but I feel like it all works so well, and while their later works don't top this, I'm still glad they kept going, releasing a lot of great songs.

Quite crazy that the average score on all songs are an 88/100, though the album only has an 85/100 rating...

Overall: 9.7/10

Top Tracks: "Someday", "Last Nite", "Hard to Explain"

Great guitar interplay and vocal processing, and catchy as fuck.
