I want to keep my hatred of The Strokes going...

but that damn 12:51 song makes me shake my ass!

please tell me i'll hate the rest of the album and myself for getting it.

Sorry, can't help you. I like listening to The Strokes. And i'm glad the other Garage Rock bands like them have fallen to the wayside. Sorta like survival of the fittest.

i still hate the strokes. that song does nothing for me.

must... resist... evil rich boy rock!

I dunno, I think the new album is awesome. Too bad people seem to be more concerned with hating a 'look' than in appreciating a band's talent

I hate that song. He sounds so bored when he sings. I ain't feelin' it.

i appreciate their talent at ripping off the cars, if that's what you mean...

i find to look to be great, it's just the pretention of the people that it attracts that I hate, as for the album, i had to d/l it, i am glad i didn't pay for it but it was pretty good.

Great album. Great band. Period.

well I always say about the strokes/white stripes, "I liked them better in the 70's when they were called The New York Dolls"

ah... the great divider... i downloaded the whole album.... i know.. stealing. but i didnt like it. guess i'm still ok. i no longer hate myself for liking that one song though... sorta like forgiving myself for liking HEY YA by OUTKAST.

oh... sounds a lot like weezer... or do they all sound like this now... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I cant say anything good about them . I've never have liked them , and don't think this latest excersise in mediocrity will change my mind either . The only thing that is worse than them on every pop / top 40 radio station all day long is seeing them live . I cant think of too many bands live that I have seen that were that bad . The best part was watching the steady flow of people leaving as they marched on with thier tired ( all sound pretty much the same ) set . By the time they were done there were about 100 people left to watch them stumble off the stage . The end of a " concert " never sounded so good .

I don't mean to be one of those people that say, "man, I was listening to that shit 10 years ago!" But I was. And it was my hope back then that bands like that would become more popular. So while I feel that garage bands are "mine," and everone else can go on listening to U2 or Sheryl Crow or whatever, there isn't a problem with a lot of people liking a style of music that I like until frat boys start to show up at the shows.


Which usually comes along with the resentment of "selling out."

ok... what were you doing at a strokes concert?

Bingo.

i agree.

Well I was actually at a Tenacious D concert that the Strokes were headlining at . I didnt really care to see them but my wife and a bunch of people we were with wanted to stay and watch them , so I'm not the kind of guy to say " I dont like this band . . .bla bla bla " without knowing really why and what I'm talking about and stuff , so I'm like , " sure lets stay , I'll give them a chance to win me over " . . . anyhow , by the end of them playing she was pretty much no longer a fan , and I was able to say without a doubt that I didnt really like them .

I've gone to alot of shows to see bands that I didnt like for whatever reasons and in varying degrees , and after seeing them live had changed my mind . This was not one of those times .

theyre awful,,,they sound bored witht heir own material......

HATE

Garage rock my arse

true dat... i took my ex to a flaming lips show. while she thought they sucked before... she cried at the show and fell in love with them.

GREAT! you made a girl cry!

tut tut
no making my uk ladies cry or there shall be rath

i would like the strokes so much more if the lead singer didnt sound like he was full of tranquilizers.

and i honestly think they intentionally found the most horrible bass player they possibly could.

My thoughts exactly! I cant even understand half of what he says with all that mumbling.
