Tuesday, January 3rd Release

The Strokes' First Impressions of Earth

My first impression of their new album was wow, this album is much better than the previous ones especially with the first two tracks "You Only Live Once" and "Juicebox". "Juicebox" outdoes all the other singles as I feel is more unique and uptempo. I love the drumming and the guitars in "You Only Live Once". I think it's the best overall song written by The Strokes on this album as the melody is perfect, the lyrics are fitting, and the beat is perfect. It is just perfect. The rest of the album definitely has a Strokes feel to it. Well, of course it does, because it's by The Strokes, but what I mean is that their sound is basically the same as their other albums, but in a good way. It is a great way to kick off the year 2006 with the release of this album, so pick it up in stores this Tuesday!
