Title: Not as good as "Is This It" but still a very good sophmore effort
Review: "Is This It" was a pretty hard album to beat, and I think they realized that. "Room On Fire" is similar, but not in a way where you think "hey this is just 'Is This It' but with more songs". Like the first album, "Room On Fire" contains no filler and is pretty much just as enjoyable (it's very much a foot-tapper). Like "Is This It", "Room On Fire" also has a bunch of hit-worthy songs that help make it appealing to the masses ("Reptilia" for example). Every song is laced with a very catchy beat or guitar hook and they mostly contain interesting lyrics, although Julian still sounds kind of emotionless most of the time. Nevertheless, if you like rock or are a fan of The Strokes you'll most likely enjoy this album. Recommended!Highlights include:the entire album!
