Angles (2011)

Overall, it's a very likable album. It's kind of scatterbrained, but still, I would take this thing over that [First Impressions Of Earth] any day.

So I'm feeling a strong 6 to a light 7 on this.

Comedown Machine (2013)

Honestly, there are moments when I listen to this album, especially with the vocals, that I feel like The Strokes are just kind of screwing around a little bit.

I'm kind of feeling a strong 4 to a light 5 on this LP.

Future Present Past (2016)

I'm going to be leaving this EP with a strong 2 to a light 3.

The New Abnormal (2020)

Along with it being, in my opinion, one of the band's most exciting records to date, I will forever be skipping "Eternal Summer". But seriously, cheers to the band for coming through with an album titled The New Abnormal, and it actually lives up to the title.

I am feeling a strong 7 to a light 8 on this one.

Reality Awaits (2026)

It really does feel like, on some level, Julian was trying to poison the well here and make it seem like no matter what I say about this record, his comments about me are going to be impacting this review. When, in reality, prior to the release of this record, we have a very similar-sounding example that I said sucked, and then following that, we have another similar-sounding album that sucks a bit less, but still sucks all the same.

Which is why I'm feeling a decent to strong 3 on this one.
