You know what I never bought all the hype about this band I always thought they were a wanna-be Punk version of Coldplay, and that ain't sayin' much. Yeah yeah they had a couple of good chops and almost some good songs, but they seem to have gotten misdirected later in their career. Because of their unauthenticity I get the impression they are fabricated by the label to sell products, like designer overpriced grunge ripped jeans and Coca-Cola (or cocaine). Funny enough I was listening to Deerhunter's Monomania and kept thinking if The Strokes were any good they would have gone in that direction!
