This is what god teaches you. He’s about love and loving others. My brother, love is god and god is love. If you speak Spanish talk to me. I’m here for you. I’m not the best or perfect in any way. But I know that god is love.
Julian Casablancas always looks like he knows some big secret that he wants to tell but he can't so he leaves obvious clues for the general public to figure out but we don't so he gets frustrated and stops making music for a while.
Haha he is constantly doing that and seems constantly frustrated as well, not too much though I don’t think he’ll pull a Lennon or Harrison because he knows all too well what comes about that. But definitely leaving some sort of breadcrumb trail
Personally, it's because of the thing you just mentioned. It's too similar to what they have already done, and they haven't really added anything to it. It's the same reason why I'm not enjoying the new RHCP tracks. Sure the old Strokes/RHCP songs will be classics and I will always love them, but that's because it was fresh at the time. They all are burnt into my head and have great memories attached to them. Now that there's so much new interesting music from fresh artists, these new albums from older bands just aren't really doing it for me. Also, it just doesn't have the same catchiness to it as many of the older Strokes tracks. They are in no way bad songs, they just aren't that exciting to me. That's just my personal opinion though.
+Caleb Finegan does that mean you still like "Drag Queen" and "Oblivious"? because this track in particular doesn't excite me either. And btw, have you taken a look at The Audiots?
OBLIVIUS is probably my favourite track of the EP, but it's still not as good as old Strokes imo. Maybe the EP will grow on me, only time will tell. I just checked out The Audiots and "Wait and See" is actually really good. Already to me a better song than any on the new EP. Thanks for the recommendation!
this is 1000% still my fav mv from the strokes. they just seem so in their element and seeing all their little smiles and they just all are so cute here. idk there's just something ab this that never gets old
+Nathaniel Crasslord Lmao I've been listening to the strokes since they started out in 1998 when I was a kid. And they never announced that they were breaking up after comedown machine was released so OBVIOUSLY they were come back with new music sooner or later and they did. And I had be waiting...so shove ur dumbass comment up ur 15 year old ass
Brens Baos i am subscribed to the strokes' channel and heard the EP as soon as they released it, but only found this video now. Didn't help that it was published in noisey
I'm going to say this in spanish: Lo que entiendo hasta ahora despues de ver tantas veces el video es que a veces The Strokes no puede hablar de ciertos temas complejos y politicos; y cuando lo hacen los censuran, por eso segun no pueden hacer el video oficial de "Oblivius" y se ve al principio, por eso mejor cantan una rola mas tranquila para que no les hagan nada... pero por decir que WallStreet roba dinero 3:03 y que tienen comprados los medios 4:48 al final se llevan a Julian 4:27 para que se dedique a otra cosa mas tranquila 4:55 y no este diciendo la "verdad" que ocurre (incluso lo empiezan a distraer con la mujer 2:40) Incluso al final la musica cambia a mas tranquila para que cambien su estilo y dejen de "destapar" las cosas.... como ven

To those who believe that The Strokes' music all sounds the same, I plead you to check out the following: Partners In Crime Drag Queen Gratisfaction Tap Out 80's Comedown Machine Ask Me Anything Juicebox One Way Trigger Anyone who just wants to stick to that early Strokes sound check out: Fab's band - Little Joy Nikolai's Band - Summer Moon Anyone who likes the poppier sound of the strokes (Ucod, taken for a fool etc): Albert's latest solo album Nick's power pop solo band CRX Anyone who wants to come away from The Strokes' sound all together, check out: Julian + The Voidz THE STROKES THEMSELVES AND THEIR SIDE PROJECTS OFFER SO MUCH DIVERSITY WITHIN ROCK + POP STYLES, STOP SAYING THE STROKES' MUSIC SOUNDS THE SAME!!!
Yeah I know right? All the people who say The Strokes make the same music are those who just heard "Someday," "Reptilia," "You Only Live Once," and probably "Undercover of Darkness" (NOT THAT THESE SONGS SOUND THE SAME BUT I CAN SEE THAT PEOPLE CAN HEAR A SIMILAR SOUND). People who have an appreciation of this band actually go out and follow the rest of the band's solo works. I love all of them and I thank you for bring this idea out to the rest of the comments
I love this song, I love The Strokes. It's 2016 and i still listen to all of their album's mostly Angles "Life is simple in the moonlight" God í love that song ❤
I love this song. It's probably my second favorite. Just because of the amazing melody and how this feels like they're closing the door on the past. For the first time they're getting themselves right so they don't repeat all the mistakes they made. I think context makes this song even better to palette.
Arguably the best part of this video is when the camera zooms into the neon sign that says "protect us from the truth", Julian is smiling uncontrollably, Albert is looking away from the camera trying to hide his smile, and Fab is just being smooth as always.
i don't think so, he started to drinking alcohol at 13 years old. people who drink alcohol, smoke and don't sleep good get old too soon. i think he looks like 36 years old
Brings back the Nostalgic feeling from my head down to the toes on my feet.I feel young Again,I've got the same old feeling,do you know what I mean man?
I hope they release the video for Oblivious soon even though he said they wouldn't or couldn't. That's why they made the statement at the beginning of this video, imagine. I will look for the interview and see if I can post it here.
