Title: Different CD, Same Review
Review: I bought the Australian version of this CD single, but felt like posting my review here as well. Heck, they're basically the same thing. Having been caught up in The Strokes hype, and completely impressed by their debut full-length album IS THIS IT, I just had to buy this single so I could have the much-touted "best song off the whole friggin' album," as most people claim it to be. It's obviously the most punk-like and aggressive song in their repertoire, but in my humble opinion it ain't the best. I'd vote THE MODERN AGE or SOMEDAY for that honor. I do hope at some point this is added back to the US release of IS THIS IT. I understand the reason behind keeping it off the album, but I think any intelligent person should be trusted to be able to differentiate between a young person's rebellious view of authority, and the truly heroic and selfless acts of the NYPD. For now I'll just record it on the end of the tape of IS THIS IT I've already made.
Is the review positive or negative?
