Worth The Wait.. If Your Looking for Pure Coolness
"The strokes defiantly maintain thier image with "First Impressions of Earth," however it doesnt translate into thier music. The liner notes are by far and beyond the best aspect of this album. Coupleing cool pop-art with thier lyrics works extremely well. But thats the only pop/excitment and charisma on the album! Whered that feel in the Is This It songs go? Some songs like "Red Light" the flame of the strokes pop-rock crazyness of past can be seen flickering but the rest of the album is very machinelike and exact. Hope this isnt the last one- the strokes have a great image and are the coolest/hottest band of the 21st century but how about the music?"
