Our Take
Our Take
Ah, The Strokes. A band that needs no introduction, yet always seems to be in search of their next big hit. "Angles" is the band's fourth studio album, marking their return to form after a five-year hiatus.
From the moment the opening track, "Machu Picchu," kicks in, it's clear that The Strokes are back and as broodingly cool as ever. Julian Casablancas' distinctive vocals soar over gritty guitar riffs and catchy hooks, creating a sound that is unmistakably their own.
But what really sets "Angles" apart is the band's willingness to experiment and push boundaries. Tracks like "Under Cover of Darkness" and "Taken for a Fool" showcase a more polished and refined sound, while still retaining that raw energy The Strokes are known for.
However, not every track on "Angles" hits the mark. "Two Kinds of Happiness" and "Metabolism" feel like filler, lacking the urgency and excitement of the rest of the album. But even these missteps can't detract from the overall brilliance of "Angles."
In conclusion, The Strokes have delivered a solid album that shows a band at the top of their game. "Angles" is a testament to their enduring talent and unmistakable sound, proving that sometimes, the best things really do come to those who wait.
