Negative Positive
Title: NOT the album of the year
Review: The Strokes decided that their fomular works so they copied it and took the safe way out, basically they did another "Is This It". This is what made my dislike the album from first listen. I believe that every artist who releases an album has to make progress whether it is more mature lyrics or going into another direction (eg: what radiohead did after ok computer). I couldn't help but be dissapointed by "room On Fire"BUT no matter what people like me say, we all should know now that they can and are getting away with this album. They have garnered so much respect from the rock world and reviewers that in-return they could not bring themselves to bag and tag this album as a dissapointment. The Strokes have power. But i must say they let this album slip and got a way with it, but next time it won't be so easy....
Is the review positive or negative?
