Hello, today
I’m going to talk to you about one of my favourite band singers of all time:
The Strokes
I do not
know if you ever heard about them, but they are an American band from the
2000’. Their music is a mix of garage grunge music from the 70’s and rock. I
wish I could speak about each song separately unfortunately it would take ages,
so I will just talk about the different albums.
They
produced 7 albums:
Is this
It (2001):
Their first
album and my favourite with “The New Abnormal”. Pure The Strokes product, a
saturated and dirty voice like on a radio and a loud guitar, classical rock
music but still so refreshing to listen to.Room On
Fire (2003):
Their second
album is as good as the first one, it totally fulfilled the expectations of all
the fans of their first album. They did not took any musical risks, the album
is still really garage music and the sound and the voice are still dirty.First
Impression of Earth (2006):
Their third
album, with some of their most dynamic songs feel like a shout of anger. This album contains some really good songs.Angles (2011):
Angles, the
songs are really pop coded and less grunge and rock. It is not my favourite
album of all. Still, there are a lot of good titles like “Machu Picchu”, we can
also see that they are exploring different styles like in “You’re so Right”.
Each song got a different vibe and I think it’s quite an interesting album and
I disagree with the people saying it was a complete disaster.Comedown Machine (2013):
Their failed
album… Criticized by all the critics calling it the end of the band. I totally
agree, this album has not any good song, they all seem alike and are quite
insipid musically speaking…The New Abnormal (2020)
This album,
their big come back to prove wrong to all the people who said they were done,
and latest for the moment is a mix of rock and sometimes a bit of disco, feels
strangely nostalgic inspired by 70s and 80s melody. Combining ballads and more
upbeat themes, this album is full of great songs without any weak title.
Soo this was
my review of their albums hope you liked it and this has inspired you to listen
to The Strokes!!
Hi,I had heard about this band but never listened to their songs so I will now! Thank you for your review it was really interesting and precise !!
ReplyDeleteHelloooo, I've never heard of that band but it seems like you really like it and I trust your tastes in music so I'll listen to one of their song (do you have on in particular to recommend me?) I also like the fact that in your article you talked about their good AND bad albums. I can see you're being honest and I like that!
ReplyDeleteI never heard of this band but you surely have inspired me to. I must admit though I'm not the biggest fan of grunge pop rock.
ReplyDeleteA couple minutes later...Ok, I've just heard them and actually they're great, so thanks for the recommendation.
Great!!! I'll probably check it out pretty soon and tell you about what I thought about it!!!But by the looks of the covers it seems quite good!!
ReplyDeleteHii! Thank you for your recommendations! And like Menela said, thank you for being objective on your reviews!
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing a lot about the strokes recently, and I think your article is a great entry door to understanding their musical universe. I'll definitely listen to one of their projects in the future.
