>fixes your band>wins you a Grammy>turns 360 degrees and walks away
>>130118126>> all in their 40s>> Drop their best albumthat happened in their 20s with is this it
>>130118126> members hate each othersource
>>130118126>The NYC band’s first album in seven years is sluggish and slight, rendering their signature sound as background music.
>>130118351>Background and recording>In a 2022 appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, producer Rick Rubin stated that he had been recording a new album with the Strokes in Costa Rica.[3]Can he save them?
>>130118472>pitchfork
>>130118472that might have been p4k most retarded review ever and that's saying a lot
>>130118126The truth is that Julian imported the best elements from the Voidz. Listen to TNA and Virtue back to back, you'll see what I mean.
>>130120207Virtue is a mess, a mixtape more than an album (I love it tho). TNA is a whole vibe, is more than Casablancas. My man Rick definitely did his thing (whatever it is) in there
>>130118496I have a bad feeling based on that single
>>130121041>He got filteredAlbum is gonna be amazing based on that single
>>130121418On the auto tune weird lifeless melody? How
>>130118126a broken clock is right twice a day
>>130121455Cause bad decisions was a bad single and the album was good. This new single is some of the worst shit bitch boy Julian has made therefore the album is gonna be amazing.
>>130118126>their best albumHello tiktok user
Basquiat is such a trash painter jfctasteless urban shit
>>130125565It's giving me load and reload vibes >look at us we have evolved from our simpleton pop rock roots we are high art nowFucking faggots
>>130125547Fair logic
Seriously, are there other cases of artists bouncing back this hard so late in their career? Nothing really comes to mind
>>130127880>bouncing backthe strokes never had a bad album
>>130125547Being white is not a crime.
>>130128326that EP with Oblivious was terrible
>>130128326>never had a bad album Everything after room on fire to TNA was ass
>>130129174Based retard. Drag Queen and Oblivious are fantastic tracks.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts7cgeZC5J0
>>130129432Oblivius*
>>130127880Foo Fighters with Wasting Light and But Here We Are
>>130127880Blackstar
>>130129432> i see how it's now>you don't have to time to play with me anymore>that's how it goes>i guessimagine missing the only good song on a 3-track ep
Best song in here? I guess At the Door but Selfless solo is so cute, idk
>>130129174every song on that EP is a banger except the Fab remix of Oblivius

>>130132744>It's actually just a screencap of a 4chan thread I don't know what I expected
>>130118126What band/album?N WOOD - PARA MORTR retrieves nothing
>>130134061The strokes - the new abnormal The album art is ugly and retarded
>>130134469it's a basquiat you pleb
>>130134515>some niggerI'm supposed to be impressed? It is a bunch of doodles that looks like shit just like the music so I guess it fits.
>and this is why you should give me thousands of dollars for this
>>130118126it was a different time
>>130127880Swans
>>130118126>> arguably album of the decadeNot that hard considering the state of music in the 2020s
>>130118126>26 years as a band>didnt make a single good songHow did they do it
>>130136054>thousands$110.5 million
>>130129432I was in high school when that ep dropped. ngl for a few days i thought it was the best thing ever, i remember rushing home from class to download it from rutracker in flac and load it onto my ipod, then spending the whole day listening to it on repeat. then fantano and (consequently) rym shat on it and i never went back to it again
>>130134908>t. failure of an artist critiquing art
>>130138610To play the devil's advocate, "I'd like to see you do better" is, and has always been, a non-argument.Making art and being able to criticize and analyze art are distinct skill sets. Sometimes they overlap, sometimes they don't.
>>130120092
>>130118126It's their worst album though
>see this posted here for days>finally listen to it again after a couple years>ode to the mets finishes>sit in absolute silence for a few minutes>feel the exact same way I felt after the first time I heard itI still can't believe they pulled this off
>>130138610>Implyingno. My album is gonna come out and knock everyone's socks off.
