    it's alright. I like it too, but I've only listened to it a couple of times. I think the new one is better.

    i like the strokes, but i think its unfortunate that they're the band [along with the white stripes] that kind of brought back the new garage-rock type sound, cause they get a lot of the hype and credit when there are plenty of better garage bands...but thats me, and im kind of an asshole. :)

    yeah, they're so awesome, I find myself listening to them almost everyday. White Stripes are good too. The Strokes though, what kind of sound are they? Can't seem to figure it out...also, are they still together and touring and what not?

    I love their music, Is This It? is a great album but I think that Room On Fire is better, much more elaborate.

    Oh and what kind of sound are they? Well, they're pretty retro... not very original but they're good quality, they remind me of The Velvet Underground and some late 70's new wave bands (like The Cars...)

    I like the strokes because the music is so simple, but they still manage to make it really good. If you have a guitar, you could probably learn a strokes song in 20 minutes.

    Heh, TVU is who they try to be like if you ask them. They do a nice job of it. Anyway, I like them alot. USed to be one of my favorite bands. Is This It? is great, only hear one or two songs from Room On Fire. Not as great, but still damn good.

    yea. the strokes rock way hard, but because there was so much hype surrounding them, people just got tired of the whole retro thing way too fast. but yea. they are still touring & all that jazz...
