Title: The Strokes
Post by: wolof7 on Feb 09, 2011, 06:07 PM
Here's the new single, "Undercover of Darkness." This is off the upcoming "Angles." Really fun and catchy. Great to hear them again....Saw them once, pretty good, they made the audience wait an hour between the opener's set (the Stills) and their own which sucked....Last Nite is the most fun Kareoke song.

I've generally liked all they've put out

Not this though. His voice really annoys me. Whole thing sounds too polished.

Between this song and a clip of another one I heard the other day, it definitely sounds like Julian's voice has changed. Not as gritty. However, I still think the track sounds pretty good, there's something about it that makes it sound more mature than their other stuff imho.

I still love Is this It and Room on fire and can pretty much listen to them at anytime and it will brighten my day.

Who wants some new Stroke goodies?

Brand new video for their first single:

The Strokes - Under Cover Of Darkness (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_l09H-3zzgA#ws)

Making of Angles clip:

And if you haven't heard "You're So Right":

The Strokes- You're So Right (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-5Tdlhmh0Y#)

Yeah, that one doesn't quite have the immediate appeal of "Under Cover of Darkness".  Very reminiscent of Julian's solo work, though (which I liked).

Only twenty more days!  Yay!  Let the countdown begin!   :D

you can stream their album, Comedown Machine:

I was kinda disappointed in it, there are a few songs which i like (Tap Out, All The Time, and 50/50), but overall.....   :undecided: Will give it a few more listens though, maybe it will grow on me.
