Sigh
Bring up is this it? Check
Spend half the review talking about things not pertaining to the music?check
You’re right it’s a bad review

actually pretty good

Assume personal things about the artist and their decisions on the album to support a negative point? Check

Have every paragraph contained back to back sentences of an a***ysis of a song and then some “funny” dig? Check

Like jesus christ. Atleast the old pitchfork reviews were funny. This s*** is just so amateur

F*** yes

Adults are talking cdq finally

Ode to the Mets gives me Pointlessness vibes in the best way

This is easily their best since Room on Fire and I won't hear otherwise

Great record

How's Rick Rubin on this?

but also

When Julian does that scream thing at 2:37 of Not The Same Anymore

Despite the poor mixing, Eternal Summer is my favorite. All the “imperfections” make it fit the album title. The guitar riffs on it are amazing, I wish the track was more guitar oriented instead of the riffs just coming in randomly and dropping out.
After 4 listens, here is my top3:

• Eternal Summer
• Not The Same Anymore
• Bad Decisions

Adults Talking sounds restrained from the live version, still goat song tho

His vocals are perfect tho, that falsetto before the solo

Love how the two guitars contrasts from each other in the sound during the solo, finally a popular band pushing that

damn they're really churning these out in our time of need

probably a good thing i never heard that live version

I’m at Brooklyn which sounds better in album context

So far this sounds like Angles grown up and done right

Polar opposite to FIOE

angles done right
implying angles wasn't done right

Nah dude it’s incoherent af lol plus metabolism is horrendous and you’re so right is pretty s***

This lands perfectly the Strokes traditional trademark sound meeting the 80s aesthetic and sticking to those two elements only without getting weird or over the top

Machu Picchu
undercover of darkness
two kinds of happiness
taken for a fool
life is simple in the moonlight

Is this rock oriented or does it have that synthpop s*** on it

Would be a classic like this

It’s in the middle

forgot about games love that one as well
