With the best indie record and a looooong sell out under their belt, the strokes are looking to expand on there unique debut.
Sadly the end result seems rushed and the album is near identical to is this it, with some stand out tracks. Like The end has no end, where julian casablancas starts calmly and explodes into shouting down the mick. And also 12:51, here we have a very poppy sounding track with bright and brezzy guitar riffs. Other than this the whole album sounds the same. The album sounds more like a collection of b-sides from is this it. Its a shame as it sounds rushed, bland and all too familiar.
