Negative Positive
Title: A great, catchy album
Review: The bass player is inept? Are you joking? Sure, he takes a minimalist approach to the songs just like all of the other players in the band, but the guy is awesome. Him and Fab are incredibly tight both live and in the studio, and his parts are expertly crafted and go perfectly with the songs. Check out the bass lines on "Is This It?" and "New York City Cops" on their first cd if you still have doubt. Anyway, back to this album. All of the songs are nice and catchy and upbeat. This is what I bought the album for, and I think that's what it is intended to be - a fun, well thought out rock album. The Strokes have never claimed to be the "saviors of rock," that's just something other people have attached to them, and I don't think they should be held accountable to it.
Is the review positive or negative?
