Title: Blah Blah Blah
Review: So I bought "Room On Fire" the day it came out (actually the day before; those pesky independent record stores), threw it in my car CD played, and listened. It seemed fine and dandy, much like a continuation of "Is This It?" with well-written songs and Television-like guitars. I decided I'd have to listen to it a few more times before really passing judgement.But you know what?... IT'S BEEN A MONTH-AND-A-HALF AND I HAVEN'T FELT THE URGE TO LISTEN TO IT AGAIN!! So I guess that's my final judgement; it's a pretty "blah" album so to speak. I don't dislike it, I'm just really apathetic towards it.The Strokes haven't failed or put out a horrible album with "Room On Fire," but they've defined the term "holding pattern." If you need to feed your rock and roll mojo for 2003, I would like to direct you to Guided By Voices new disc "Eathquake Glue." It's everything that you want the Strokes to be (that goes for GBV's live act too).
Is the review positive or negative?
