It's midnight not trying to wake everyone up

The things I would do to get waken up by new Strokes album

This is true especially on Eternal Summer

I keep saying “oh this sounds like Bombay Bicycle Club” or “this sound like Foster The People” then Im like “no b**** those bands came out 10 years after The Strokes”

It’s amazing how much they’ve influenced so many bands despite being inactive for most of the last 10 years. The album is very good but doesn’t really add anything new to the conversation. It’s very safe.

Rick Rubin

Wonder why Julian chose that delivery and tone for the intro.

Not The Same Anymore outro

Just got my new headphones today, how are the sonics of this album so far?

the end of eternal summer

brickwalled

i must be the sole person on earth that likes rubin and his mixing/production style

yeah while I agree on paper I don't think they necessarily came to this with a deep message on their mind or anything, this time around it feels like it's just them re-learning to have fun together as a group, and it's an absolute joy to hear them discover that again

those little bits of studio banter throughout

dam i like this

I don’t have a problem with it but it’s like this

Lmfaoooooo that’s so true though. Since the loudness war thing is so well known has anyone genuinely sat him down and asking him what his purpose for doing it like that is

Not every album he works with have poor sound quality though, like Minutes to Midnight was one of the albums he worked with and it had great mix/master

You know I don’t expect much from pitchfork anymore. But this review is terrible. Just from like a writing perspective idc about the score pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/the-strokes-the-new-abnormal

lol my only assumption is old habits die hard

eternal summer sounds tuff w that right panned organ n the right panned (lmao) whatever the hell that screechy synth is

i love this
