The Strokes - Room On Fire

poobs - 11-4-2003 at 01:44 PM

You know when you hear an album and it just gives you butterflies cuz you love it so much? This happened with the Strokes' first album and now with the second..Anyone else have it?? I know the Strokes aren't for everyone, but there's just something about how basic their sound is and how sexy Jules sounds when singing that really gets to me..So far, my favorite is Between Love & Hate..It never had to grow on me..I loved the whole thing from the first listen..Ahhh..Love it..Now I'm regretting being responsible and going to class instead of their show..:yes::D

poobs, i haven't shup up about it on here for a couple of weeks. It is insanely good. Although the new guitar tone = here comes the bombs, check it out.

I definately agree that the Room On Fire CD is awesome! I can't stop listening to it! EVERY song is good! :D My favorite is "Under Control":P

i used to hate them due to overplaying and horrible nme hype, but the new album has turned me. they have matured and sound amazing

I heard one of the new songs on the radio the other day , and you couldn't mistake their patented sound. As much as I love the first CD, I'm sure I'll love the new. Plus poobs has good taste in music, so I know I can take her word for it. I guess I'll have to take a cruise up to Excremento if they're ever on SNL again in order to keep up with tradition eh pooby?:D

i'll come right out and say (again) that a Strokes / Ima show would be epic on paper, but if our team goes first it would cause problems for the strokes no doubt.

problem is an understatment. the strokes would absolutely sh*t themselves if the 'bot opened for them. tracks like 'last night' would look so boring
