I defended"Room on Fire," but hearing this makes me realize how much more Ishould have expected.</p><p> A slightly fuller feel without the Wall of Soundthat was so exciting on the first CD but somewhat monotonous on thesecond.</p><p> As directorboy said, you can pick out all the instruments now,singer Julian Casablancas does a good Ric Ocasek every once in a whileand after three spins you just know you're going to keep liking it moreand more.</p><p> The Strokes are in it for the long haul.Best line comes on "Razor Blade" -- "My feelings are more importantthan yours."**** (4/4)POSTED BY MICHAEL IN NEW YORK AT 2:28 PM 0 C O M M E N T S :Post a CommentL I N K S T O T H I S P O S TCreate a LinkHomeSubscribe to: Post Comments (Atom)Next Blog»sal1mineo@hotmail.comSEARCH BLOG FLAG BLOGFOLLOW BLOGP O P S U R F I N G .</p><p> C O MS U R F I N G T H E WAV E S O F P O P U L A R C U LT U R EB Y M I C H A E L G I LT Z & F R I E N D SPOPSURFING.COM: The Strokes: The Popsurfing Reviewhttp://popsurfing.blogspot.com/2006/01/strokes-popsurfing-revi... 1 of 37/29/09 4:21 AMFAV O R I T E L I N K SAmericablogFive O'Clock Lightning baseball blogDeep Pop -- Lori Lakin's BlogThe Back Page -- Jason Page on ESPNRadioCine-Blog -- George Robinson's BlogDocuments On Art & Cinema - DarylChin's BlogBrucie G's Wondrous Blog OfAdventure and Mystery -- BruceGreenspan's BlogB L O G A R C H I V E▼ 2009 (17)▼ July (3)1939 -- The Greatest Year ForMoviesSwimming Bans Those Hi-TechSuits!Best Movies Of The Year -- TheMaster List► June (3)► May (1)► March (2)► February (1)► January (7)► 2008 (86)► 2007 (781)► 2006 (2412)► 2005 (5)C O N T R I B U TO R SAaronMichael in New YorkBiboy POPSURFING.COM: The Strokes: The Popsurfing Reviewhttp://popsurfing.blogspot.com/2006/01/strokes-popsurfing-revi... 2 of 37/29/09 4:21 AMPOPSURFING.COM: The Strokes: The Popsurfing Reviewhttp://popsurfing.blogspot.com/2006/01/strokes-popsurfing-revi... 3 of 37/29/09 4:21 AM
