Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Room on Fire, the sophomore album from the New York City darlings, The Strokes. Much like trying to find a New York City apartment on a budget, this album is compact, intense, and full of surprises.
From the moment the opening track "What Ever Happened?" kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. The Strokes waste no time in delivering their signature mix of jangly guitars, punchy drums, and Julian Casablancas' nonchalant vocals that make you feel like you're at a cool party you weren't even invited to.
Tracks like "Reptilia" and "12:51" showcase the band's ability to craft catchy hooks that stick in your head like gum on the bottom of your shoe. It's the kind of music that makes you want to strut down the street like you're in a music video, even if you're just popping out to buy some milk.
But don't be fooled by the laid-back vibe - there's a raw energy bubbling beneath the surface of Room on Fire. The Strokes crank up the intensity on tracks like "The End Has No End" and "Automatic Stop," showing off their ability to rock out with the best of them.
Overall, Room on Fire is a tight, no-nonsense album that proves The Strokes are more than just a flash in the pan. So grab your leather jacket, crank up the volume, and let Room on Fire ignite your soul.
