The Strokes' Is This It (in 5 minutes) | Liner Notes

[@TheKevlar4]

Still one of the greatest albums of all time

[@4gotusername]

Easily the best rock n roll album of the 21st century.

[@15graciegrace]

I'm gonna cry the strokes are so beautiful

[@thebargainbin6020]

the strokes delayed the death of rock n roll for about a decade. cool quote about the alb sounding like worn in blue jeans though.

[@malvern9916]

How wouldn't Interpol exist without the strokes? They formed before the strokes and didn't even have any inspirations from them.

[@KevinWidesouls]

Agreed about the new album cover being better. The brighter color scheme just works way better with the sound of the album.

[@no_torrs]

still one of the best albums of all time.

[@ruthnaranjo957]

one of the best debut albums ever

[@counterculturecomedy]

They never really topped this one, but damn what a way to debut. Still one of the best albums ever crafted.

[@ptrckcgn]

New York City Cops is such a good fucking song too.

[@lilzambezi]

feel like a twat, thought this was a shitpost where you guys sped up the album to a speed where it's only 5 minutes long

[@StellaMariaGiulia]

One of my favourite albums from one of my favourite bands.

[@DiogoMarquesAwesome]

Good shit pitchfork, keep more of these coming out

[@aceinthehole1222]

I still listen to this album. Love THIS The Strokes.

[@CristoffandFriends]

This album has always been in the background of my life. It helped me through a lot. Seeing them live last year almost made me cry haha

[@ChinmayaNagpal]

Rolling in the ocean

[@JesusRocksTryPrayin]

Im glad I torrented them back in the day; NYC cops was always my fave song

[@internetsummoner]

Here celebrating the 20 year anniversary of this legendary iconic album !!

[@dylancontento2267]

Best Album Ever

[@under_score2268]

"The Libertines, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, The Killers, and The Arctic Monkeys likely would not exist without Is This It."
