Review: Are The Strokes the saviors of rock? No. Did they deserve all the acclaim their first album, Is This It, got? Probably not. Are they talented? Not particularly. Are they better than Interpol? Certainly Not. Are they any more than your average, garden variety power pop band? Hell no! Is this CD Great? You bet it is! Drawing equally from The Cars and The Doors, The Strokes have come up with a nice little formula and stuck with it: Poor production, cheesy synth work and tight song structures that get right to the point and will always entertain, no matter how "manufactured" their sound is. The production is shoddy, but it works. While the strokes are terribly overrated, they strive to live up to their praise with their sophmore release. And they come pretty damn close.
