Anthony saying that this album was “a stroke of genius” and then laughing for over 10 minutes does not count as a review
Nice one Steve Steverman
Are you by any chance friends with Harry Harryman?
@@chunkster2617 Or Steve Bytheway? Mickey "the drink"?
this is the funniest version of this meme ive seen man, props, these never make me laugh
@@disassemble_everything ah, I see you too are a man of culture
my grandpa was such a huge fan of The Strokes that he had one

Bruh underrated comment
Bruh :/
This comment almost gave me one.
Lulz
I have not heard this album, but based on his review Eternal Summer is already my favorite track
lol
I think you've now heard the album and now every song must be your favorite
Honestly a dope song. Has Pink Floyd "The Wall" vibes in it throughout. Whole album slaps HARD🔥🔥
I dont see to much people talking about the adults are talking, that last part is so good that track is fucking fire. One of the best intros i've ever heard
Best song on the album, honestly
Probably my fav song of the year
Brilliant song
it’s definitely my favorite song
makes me dance everytime
LETS AGREE:
Anthony isn't wearing pants in this review
I...
Agree.
He’s wearing SpongeBob boxers
how innocent of you to think Melon wears pants during any video he makes
Guilherme Antônio or at all
I.... want to agree.
Don’t ever scare us again with the non-Yellow flannel
MarTin ShorLux i was terrified
Anthony: "Yeah, it's my job. Right Ed?"
holy fucking shit i was nervous
I knew it was going to be good because of its length
@@hahayes2345 And then I saw the like/dislike ratio and thought, "Okay, so the fan-tanos like the album, and fan-tanos really like this video, ergo Fantano must also like the album."
This is simultaneously a higher score than I was expecting him to give, and yet not a high enough review of this album
I guess whenever a highly anticipated album comes out now, we're all scared of scary melon man and his flannels and deadly scores 😂
Surprised he didn’t give it a strong 8 to a light 9 I mean literally every song except for 2 was on his favorite track list
Better than Arctic monkeys new album
I don’t think you know what simultaneously means
@@patrickgibsonmusic ok ik this comment is two years old but lmfao
I'm one of the three people that actually likes Comedown Machine.
Ryan Parker same
😌😌 hell yeah
**four that album slapped
Yeees, i think Angles is their weaker album.
Rocío Carro I agree
I admire the Melon's dedication to get a stroke halfway through the video to show how good this album is
Veridian The internets most view hungry music nerd
@@snakeshackxd5251 go away you're giving him views too go away
Bruh I cackled like I had asthma.
i cant believe he actually did that 😂
Whatchu talking about it?
It's funny that it sounds like he's saying the song is shit but then he just casually says he loves it
What song? I missed that
@@NowhereMan7 all of them
10/10 it has a little something for everybody -IGN
fr fr like 6:32 he clowns that entire line and then says "im floating. this is amazing"
@@cIiffe no he didn't he said "haha funny that was smart" Even if he did that it would mean that he didn't like that line but like the chorus.
"At the Door" has one of the coolest music videos I've ever seen.
Its so good but ode to the mets might be one if the best mvs ive ever seen
It looks straight out of Heavy Metal with the animation
Amazing how he read the entire Communist Manifest in 10 minutes
Brasileiros são tao estranhos as vezes...
How is it the melon's fault that his heart sits to the left and that his blood is red
Workers of the world unite
this is the most negative 8/10 review you've ever given
Was legitimately bracing myself for a 3-4 after the first half of the review...
The Man Alive 8/10 review felt more negative than this
Man Alive seemed very negative for an 8
@@spamsingles5948 Kurt Vile's wakin on a sunny daze was a pretty critical 8 too. still a solid record.. this one and the strokes one.
Lol yeah I was expecting a 6
I can’t wait to hear what Melon thinks about one of my favorite songs on the album, Eternal Summer!
Oh...
SAME LMAOOOO
💀
💀 rip my mans
It hits different after his opinion. I think i'm loving it, now
1:58 - The Adults Are Talking
2:48 - Selfless
3:26 - Brooklyn Bridge to Chorus
4:36 - Bad Decisions
1:51, 5:19 - Eternal Summer
5:54 - At the Door
7:26 - Why Are Sundays So Depressing
7:53 - Not the Same Anymore
8:47 - Ode to the Mets
underrated comment
Eternal Summer is amazing. I can’t imagine anyone not liking that song.
Greg Spencer ikr! I love julians vocals on it especially
Greg Spencer best song on the album mate, this guy’s a sausage.
Not much of an imagination eh? Ha
I just listened to the entire album for the first time. That’s the only song I didn’t like.
@@gilmillan4575 same thing happened to me on the first listen. Eternal Summer is growing on me each time, but I still can't say I particularly like it.
The Adults are Talking been on repeat for a week
T. Guy ye me too
it was so hard not to repeat when i first heard the album
At the Door, Ode to the Mets and Eternal Summer for me
For me, it's Ode To The Mets
that song makes me wanna cry
I liked Eternal Summer but I guess it's different strokes for different folks.
Full credit on this comment
God tier comment
Me too bro
10/10
I don't like Eternal Summer all that much but I had to like the comment for the pun
This is the most negative 8/10 I've ever seen
ikr
And punisher
Let’s Agree: Julian Casablancas wants to be Anthony’s friend but Anthony doesn’t want him
Alex Turner wants to be Julian's friend but Julian doesn't want him. circle completes
They have some fun, then Anthony just leaves
@@shreyasmahimkar4424 he just wanted to be one of the strokes :(
Anthony makes plans while Julian is on TV
I mean watch that interview
They gave us The Adults are Talking like "here, we know this is what yall want" and then gave us everything else like "but this is what you NEED"
I agree
I agree
I also agree
I agree
I agree
LET'S AGREE: Anthony was trying to give us a stroke with that blue Adidas
his flannello is in the washerino
the jacket is fire tho
you trippin. my boi melon looks fire af in that toothpaste blue
hehe stroke i get it
Your profile picture is of him trying to be one of the strokes
At The Door hits me on so many levels, what a masterpiece of a song
Best music vid I've seen for years too
Gives me chills just thinking about it.
Okay Anthony we all agree Julian looks more and more like Ray Romano every day but you don’t have to mention it in the summarization of EVERY song.
Raythony Romantano
😐
Woah... Now that I think about it...
howly fuck that is insane i had never thoght of that
It's too late, I've already formed my opinion. ETERNAL SUMMER FOREVER
He was too late...
It’s actually one of my favorite tracks. Definitely has Pink Floyd’s the wall vamping but the chorus is similar to Psychedelic Furs “Ghost in You”. Kind of a yin and yang but seems appropriate during these Covid 19 daze.
I love that track tho
Why is Eternal Summer so based bros? Could it be the biggest pleb filter from this album?
It was the first song on the album that I really demanded my attention. Shame Melon hates it so.
Ode to the mets is possibly my favourite strokes track ever. Feels like a perfect combination of all the previous records
Someone who gets me .. that song is a masterpiece
Taylorjack21 the ending to it is amazing
Agreed mate. The melody of the coda is so powerful
The last 3 songs on the record are my favorite and the best songs on the album, imo.
Go listen to Anastacia - Left Outside Alone
Selfless and why are Sunday’s so depressing are really good songs man
My two favourite on the album
Hi everyone, Slavthony Sqautano here.
Lucky Scharms 😂
Thank you melon for reviewing your stroke game
Jackson Crandall hahahahah
☠️☠️☠️☠️
Loled
Whatchu talkin about?
i usually hate these type of comments but this one got me ugly laughing
When Julian said "Melon, I adore" in Brookly Bridge To Chorus, I felt that
bacho salukvadze 😢
No wonder he named his son “Cal”
Sorry I don't get it, could someone please explain?
@@QueenBlond In the actual song, the lyric is "Juliet, I adore" -- Juliet is Julian's ex-wife.
I'm surprised how much you didn't like "Eternal Summer" considering how much you enjoy The Voidz. Either way, I'm glad Melon digs this album - I'm loving it. I've been excited about this record for a long time, and The Strokes came through big time - such a great album.
ANDREW WILHOIT idk how he doesn’t like eternal summer either I think he doesn’t like eternal summer as much as everyone hates that bow Adidas jumper he’s wearing
@@kellyman2600 its actually a pretty common opinion. Eternal Summer didnt rank in top 3 TNA songs on a reddit poll. I'm not a fan of it either
@@wisco9er536 Maybe it's cool to hate on it. But just cuz it wasn't in the TOP 3 TNA on a Reddit poll, doesn't mean it's the worst song on the album. I'm surprised to see some people bagging on it myself, haven't heard the full album yet but sampled that song and it sounded nice.
@@Lycosa I never said it was the worst, I'm just arguing the fact that it's okay to say it wasn't good. There are other people that even insult you if you think it's bad.
Personally; I only dislike because it sounds like a Fifa song. As a person playing fifa for 3 years, it gets really annoying.
@@wisco9er536 Oh, I see. Your viewpoint is totally fair. I don't force my opinions on others, everyone can like what they like.
Sometimes Anthony puts songs that I like (or even love) in his least favourite tracks but oh well, that's how it goes. Tends to happen now and then. Also with other people, not just him. But he reviews so much music that there's a lot to compare to from him.
Julian was like "Okay guys, I'll do the record... under one condition..." ENTER SYNTHS
Ode to the mets Is legendary
drums please
@@BrokenGodEnt fab
absolutely!
Sounds like bad romance, but that’s not a bad thing
It's their grand gesture to a final goodbye. Nice ending to an amazing adventure. Music video is a great insight into our birth and our inevitable end. Glad baseball is the last thing we get to transmit.
Wtf, why aren't you rocking the yellow flannel. Dont trick me like that trickthony tricktano
ertsta123 😂
@@RadiantBlue4 I really hope that he's starting to reserve the Yellow for decent 9 and above. That Yellow Flannel means something and a light 8 ain't it.
light 8s usually don't get it, unless he says "light to decent 8", rather than "strong 7 to light 8."
Light 8, that's why
Trickthony Stertano
Selfless if by far my favorite track, it is so pretty with Julian’s falsetto and the guitar solo. It lifts my mood whenever I listen to it
*GRAMMY WINNERS AT LONG LAST*
Selfless is ESSENTIAL Strokes, love it
it’s perfect
It’s so sad, tho
That and Ode to the Mets are my favorite
@@pepperface2 and at the door
In my opinion, the best track on the whole album.
Okay but where is the new strokes album review
kekw
Fr idc about whatever tf the strokes is, I want a review on the new abnormal
Pretty sure he said its coming out after the igor review
Not until after he does Igor
what is this stroke you speak of? anyway when is he doing This Is It review???
"The adults are talking" is piece of masterpiece . Beautiful album
I could pass on Bad Decisions for the rest of my life, but Eternal Summer... so many reasons to listen.
I liked bad decisions before I realized they were singing bad decisions in the chorus. My fault for not noticing but still
It's actually opposite for me since I don't mind the hook being repetitive and one-note on Bad Decisions, not the best track (I'll take Why Are Sundays So Depressing any time over that track if u told me I had to listen to only one The Strokes track forever) but it's not long-winded in a bad way like Eternal Summer, which the more I listen to it, it's actually not that satisfying for me, I actually feel like it doesn't justify it being 6 minutes.
Julian’s vocal range on this album is on another level like damn
he's still my favorite rock vocalist of all time, singing with the emotion of an old window
I can't believe how he smoked that much, damaged his voice in his earlier career and aged but he still keeps getting better and better in every project.
I know right! Wish the same could be said for Paul Banks.
Honestly, I don’t see the connection between “Bad Decisions” and The Church of Scientology, but sure Anthony. I guess that makes sense.
fuuck thanks for the big laugh man.
church of scatology
That’s gold. Lol
sounds like someone doesnt understand where the original meme came from
Who's mommy/daddy/parental figure duck?
What's with the Albert Hammond Jr. Solo album hate? His albums are amazing!
He sucks.
His albums really does have songs on them. Believe me they do.
@@Pantano63 He's the most talented one of all of them. You suck.
@@Soler8 I would agree that Francis trouble is good and that Albert Hammond jr is great but I don’t know about the most talented there all really good and nikolais solo album was pretty good too
Can we just all agree that Fab is The best and his álbum with the Los Hermanos Guitarist is perfect
Called "Little Joy" to the interested
I feel like this timing of this album, while unfortunate, was actually kinda perfect. I needed the nostalgia from my favorite band. 😌
Giuliana Herrera also that its called the new Abnormal. With covid and all
Right?! I'm in love with these new songs. Especially being forced into isolation because of this quarantine, the mind can't help but to look to the past. This album amazingly captures how I've been feeling as of late. Past memories linger like smoke, i find myself breathing in sad summer nostalgia.
we did it boys. 8/10.
Yea let's gooo
"We" lol what
You mean 8/8
I guess I'm not surprised that he didn't like Eternal Summer, but it's honestly one of my favorite tracks on the album
Same
He kinda hated slow rush, consistent
it just feels like a weird outlier on the album,
His reasoning didn’t really make sense. It’s weird, and sounds link Pink Floyd. Ok why is that a bad thing again?
@@MrDickdog he did also say that it was tedious and i totally see that. I think it would be fine if they cut it down to 3 ish minutes, they just don't expand enough on the song in the 6 minutes imo. Also he said it sounds like bad pink Floyd, although i do disagree about it being bad
Ode to the mets is just amazingly beautiful. every line, every instrument just fits perfectly and i freakin love it
Agreed. Ode to the mets is amazing.
“...And Albert Hammond Jr. put out some solo records as well that had songs in them. They really did.” 😂
the strokes did it. they made another good record. i can’t believe they did it.
Is this it?
I mean they haven't really had a bad album tho. Angles was still pretty good and it's widely accepted to be their worst
@@adriangonzalez7666 First Impressions and Comedown Machine are their weakest records by far.
@@ashtonmathew6576 hellll nooo. CMs only bad song is call it fate. The rest is hella good. CM is a quality album. FIE has 3 maybe bleh songs. 15 mins, killing lies, ask my anything. That still leaves like 11 songs. And those 11 songs are like their best work. FiE would be their best album if they took out a few of the filler sings cuz they would still have enough material for a great album
Adrian Gonzalez it’s all subjective. Personally I couldn’t stand comedown machine besides call it fate, which is very ironic to ur comment but the points not which albums are good and bad the important thing is that we all like the strokes lol
You can hate The Strokes as much as you want, Anthony. But wishing the members would get strokes took it a little too far.
When did he say that
@@jacobhall3805 ahh, first time here?
If you’re asking if this is the first video of Anthony’s that I’ve watched then no it’s not my “first time here,” I just haven’t seen every one of his videos
LETS AGREE:
nobody thought the strokes would ever get a score higher than 6 for the rest of their lives.
Idk if you saw his Twitter, but someone found a clip from an old livestream where Anthony said "The Strokes will not put out another good album. If they put out a new album, it will be bad"
Oh how the tables have turned on that
Angles was a 7 xd
Honestly, I figured he'd be harsher on this record. It's unfocused. Not all of the experiments pay off. Even a few of the songs I like manage to do little things that distract from the listening experience. I haven't even been able to make it through "Sundays".
I didn't until they played the adults are talking and ode to the mets early
EXACTLY
Disappointed that he didn't give more credit to Brooklyn Bridge to Chorus - sure, it's not the most original song on the album, but it is sooo fun to listen to! Favorite song on the album
Really loved what he said about At The Door, really deserves that kind of praise
neemo98 it’s so jarring to see a normal and wholesome comment in melons comment section lmao
Might be one of the best songs ever written
Yeah i love that track! But most people dont see it that way which really sucks! I cant believe Bad Decisions didnt grew on melon though, cus it totally did on me. When i first heard it i thought it was alright, but now I love it!
It baffles me how some people say it's the worst track
At the door, is a banger. It's a great song. It has that slow dancing to a girl vibe to it.
the strokes - "we are a full band again and now with synths" the album
one of their best.
Most of the stuff you think is synths, is actually their guitarists dialing in some really cool tones.
Stereo Stigma valensi loves the synths on his guitar
I literally said to myself today that Eternal Summer is my favorite of the album. Followed by Ode to Mets, then Why are Sundays so Depressing
It’s incredible that this band is 20 years old and this is the best they’ve ever sounded in some tracks. Julians vocals are definitely at the best point in the bands history. Also very weird to be able to understand him
I almost had a heart attack when there's no yellow flannel.
CLICKTONY BAITANO
I almost had a stroke
Same
Came here looking for a 10/10, I already had a stroke not seeing the flannel :/
Same
The fuzz on the top of his head reminds me a baby’s ducks fuzz
Can't believe I read it as baby dick fuzz
@@heitorpurcino7971 I was thoroughly confused for a sec
"This song is awful and I hope they get sued for making this, but otherwise it's a pretty good song"
eternal summer is my favorite song of the album
It’s so funny I just looked at the most recent comments including mine and it’s all people defending eternal summer
Mine too. Do you listen pink floyd in there?
@@pabloguerrero4985 Yeah, the chorus sounds like Waters screaming. The riff sounds alot like Brick in the Wall Pt 2
I think Anthony is like the hardest to understand what his style is. One moment he is a flanel wearing hipster and the next he is a russian.
Or a fan of mystical wolves
I think it's the quarantine man, I'm currently wearing my boyfriend's ugliest boxers, yesterday's shirt, and two strikingly different socks
Valeria Pannunzio this is how life should be anyway.
@@afauxican_american I'm with you there
The flannel caught corona so he can’t wear it
Ode to the Mets most nostalgia song on the album
The bass part of the outro of "Not the same anymore" instantly reminded me of the Twin Peaks theme melody.
“8/10” Anthony you’re supposed to rate the album, not your “stroke game”. Furthermore, please refrain from referring to my uncle as your “proof”.
It’s crazy that my opinion just happens to perfectly align with yours haha! And I haven’t even listened to it yet! Crazy coincidence
😀
Very Strong Leaf ok
Anthony is so convincing and logical that when i have a different taste for a song I'm like "oh no my taste must be wrong"
anthony. you spent the entire review talking about how terrible everything is. how is it an 8?
Anthony: trash talks 4-5 songs on the album
Also Anthony: 8/10
He only trashtalks Eternal Summer, and maybe Bad Decisions (but i don't think he really trashtalk the song, he liked it before).
Laurent and the sound on Brooklyn Bridge
Justin Berg Well he prefaced his critique by acknowledging that he likes it he even put it in best tracks of the week
@@justinberg9903 he was just talking about how weird the sound was. He didn't say it was bad. He liked that song and put it on his best tracks of the week.
@@justinberg9903 He said he loved the songs.
Anthony saying “THIS IS IT” for 20 minutes isn’t original
It’s been 2 yrs and I love this album more and more. I think we have a classic here. I can’t wait for Thor new album coming out next year.
they have a new album coming out?
This album came out at the perfect time. Usually I like heavier music with minor synthetic sounds. But right now with how crazy my life is I’ve been listening to calmer more synth heavy music. Something about a lot of this album feels calm but chaotic. Love it.
When he said "I am feeling..." I had no idea what he was gonna say next. Very suspenseful review.
Thomas Doyle i could swear a decent 6 was arriving
Fantano, I don’t think calling Fab “the brown one” is really appropriate. Couldn’t you have just looked up his name?
Sawyer Smith he wouldn’t of said that if he was black.
It doesn’t actually matter
Jackson Beal damn thats embarassing, I’m a real man tho so I don’t delete comments
Ngl comedown machine is the reason I vibe to the strokes that’s the album that sold me to their music. Put some respeck on that album!
Jose M. C. Lopez same. One Way Trigger and Welcome to Japan are bops.
Kind of a pop breathe in a rock universe
As someone who's been a fan of the strokes for a long time, i probably revisit comedown the most. It's super peppy and I love the variation of sound from track to track. Welcome to Japan is funky as hell, One Way Trigger is an electronic bop, 80s Comedown has got that blissful depression vibe, and Call It Fate Call It Karma sounds like being on ambien
Hey theneedledrop, I remember seeing a quick explanation from the Stokes about 'Eternal Summer' and they did say Ruben asked them to just start playing something and they randomly came up with that on the fly, so I can understand it not being completely polished, but I really like it's honest-raw approach to songwriting and exploration.
At The Door is so good, especially the second chorus with Julian singing his lungs out
The chorus reminds me of "Nice Dream" by Radiohead. A lot of the songs take influence from them (in a good way).
@@Benjerama oh for sure. There were plenty of points where I could definitely hear Julian sounding a lot like Thom Yorke, parti the falsetto. Glad someone else noticed. Still, Radiohead are probably my favourite band ever, so of course I'm going to love anything that takes influence from them (although I still love The Strokes as a whole)
Benjerama I don’t really see the correlation
I’m halfway through the review and he’s said almost nothing positive how does this turn into an 8
Christian Caves Right???? Only raved about one song so I thought it would be a 5 or 6 tbh
IGthony Ntano here
ik wtf
melon needs to me stroked 😞
Because it’s one of the best bands going strong, so he’s upped the critique level to expert musicianship.
Freezing cold take on Endless Summer (It's one of the best songs on the album) but otherwise a great review 👍
When I first listened to the new album their were 3 songs I didn't particularly like. Brooklyn Bridge to Chorus, Why are Sundays so depressing, and eternal summer. But I kept listening to them and the more I listened to them the more I enjoyed and appreciated them. The entire album grew on me the more I listened which is usually not the case for me. I tend to get tired of songs in a week or so if I consistently listen to them all the time but these only got better and better. I don't know how they pulled this one off
every strokes album is like that. the appreciation grows with listening.
But "Eternal Summer" is so good Anthony. It's like their best attempt at a Voidz song with some Sandinista-Clash influence here and there.
Avey Tare yea I thought it was the best song on the album. The chorus is atleast the catchiest
@@jona__s8625 it is
Its too long imo
Avey Tare too long
@@PirateRadioDude why is it long? Like, I grooved all the way through, I don't get why would you feel like you know what is the right lenght, it doesnt even get boring to me, just enjoyable
Damn Anthony, you didn't have to spend a whole 4 minutes making fun of people who died from strokes.
Can’t believe pitchfork give this a 5.7
and they gave comedown machine a 6.1 lmao, idk what were they thinking
they suck
Dumbasses
they’ve put out a lot of bad reviews over the years but giving this album a 5.7 is one of their worst
there is a lot of "meta" lyrics in the lp like first when julian says "break" and "can we switch into the chorus" in brooklyn bridge to chorus, but also in at the door with "struck me like a chord" and finally which "drums please fab" in ode to the mets. i can't remember witch song but i think i remember an older strokes' one with the same kind of lyrics...
Well, this review was such a funny journey. Melon, your service is no longer needed
PSYCHEDELIC
Ok you guys got what you wanted now Anthony can start his only fans account with no regret
This album grew on me a lot the past 2 months, went from okay this is really good to holy shit this is fantastic. And while i do agree that Eternal Summer drags on waaayyy too long it has grown on me a little bit to the point that i dont even wanna skip that song anymore. Anyways great album great review my opinion more of a light 9 now
Still early in the year but this is a serious contender to AOTY
Anthony, holding a belt and screaming “the adult is talking! the adult is talking!” at the band for ten minutes then giving their record a 0 is not a review.
this man thinks call it fate, call it karma is garbage but likes Julian’s falsetto here? ok MELON
Yeah. Because here Julian's voice sounds miles better, while Call it fate barely even qualifies as a real song.
Dude has clearly worked on the falsetto these past 7 years, it sounds super clean on The Adults Are Talking specifically
Julian's falsetto has improved a lot
Lets be honest here, CM is an okay album. Can’t deny they did the album just to fulfill their contractual obligations. Julian’s falsetto in call it fate is meh at best, and his vocal performances here are way better than on Angles and CM
Call it fate gives me massive BO2 Zombies transit loading screen music vibes
Hands down the group’s BEST album ever. Hands down most in depth recording the group has ever produced. Fight me.
Trackthony Suitano here, the internet’s busiest Slav, bringing you another vodka review
"Least Fav Track: Eternal Summer" BLASPHEMY
Least fav track: the silence after Ode To The Mets
“I CANT BELIEVE IT”
nah. its the worst track. that and bad decisions were just hokey callbacks to the 80's that were unnecessary. especially with the excellent sounds the strokes were pulling off on the rest of the album. by far the low points.
@@soaringgrasslands3148 no.
@@juancistranding6796 yes
To those wondering about the lack of a yellow flannel, here’s my personal take: it seems like Fantano already figured plenty of people had made up their opinion on the record, or were already gonna click on the review immediately that he didn’t feel the need to wear the yellow flannel. I sense that he usually wears it for reviews of records or artists that wouldn’t normally get a ton of attention and the Strokes are nowhere near that kind of band. Plenty of non-subscribers are gonna be visiting this video purely because it’s about the Strokes and not because of a flannel color.
Or maybe he just returned from a jog where he finalized his thoughts and began recording.
My theory is that since he gave it a Strong 7 to a Light 8, he wasn't sure if he was gonna give it the first or the latter until the editing
He should unzip his jacket and boom, yellow flannel!
It's just that he doesn't wear the flannel for "strong 7 to light 8" reviews, it's not the first time he's done this. Like Brockhampton's Ginger last year.
He does wear the flannels in records that get a lot of attention regardeless of his opinion on them, like Igor, When we all fall sleep, Scorpio, Kamikaze and a bunch of others, so I dont think thats the general rule.
Anyone else notice ‘Ode to the Mets’ has the same chord progression as ‘Sofia’ by Clairo?
YES!!!!
I literally just realized- I was wondering what Sofia sounded so much like
I mean it's just a IV VII V I which isn't that uncommon
Very nice sounding progression
Justice for Eternal Summer
The strokes only got an 8 because they gave Anthony a stroke or two
Makes up for the absolutely abysmal pitchfork review
This is arguably my favorite album through and through. I can listen to every song without any big issues which I cant say the same for other albums. Im sick of the constant comparison to "Is This It" and if an album isnt similar to it then its no good. Everything The Strokes has done has slowly evolved naturally to where we are now. The Strokes have clearly moved past the garage band sounding stage and into something thats still the strokes, but elevated in a unique way.
Comedown machine is actually a solid album too.
I love Eternal Summer honestly. About a month ago me and my friends went on a camping trip and while we giving on a music sesh I played the song. Nobody else was familiar with the band and nobody commented on it when I played it. However, I caught everybody humming it on separate different occasions. I really think it's a great track, and I love the Pink Floyd vibes personally.
