Title: It's not a terrible CD, it's just not very good.
Review: Listen. The Strokes have talent. Some of the guitars here are great, if formulaic, and sweet. I've seen The Strokes live and both guitar dudes know what the hell they're doin'. Moving on, though, the bass player is incredibly inept, and Julian Casablancas is quick to get on nerves with that grating voice of his.I must say that "Reptilia" is one of the best rock songs I've heard in a long, long, LONG time. It gave my rating the extra star to make it two (**). That's about all this album has going for it, however, and that should be frowned upon. Listen, "Reptilia" was recently released as a CD single. Buy that instead, and save a few bucks.The Strokes are NOT the saviors of rock 'n roll. Some of you have mentioned The White Stripes. They aren't saviors either, but I'll tell you one thing, they're better than The Strokes.But hey, "Reptilia" 's good.
Is the review positive or negative?
