  • @aidenbarbour6337

    I get the feeling the first album had such a profound effect on Anthony that he can't let go of his notalgic narrow tastes for that style of strokes song. I mean it is what he prefers, but when I see songs like you only live once, which granted comes against another one of the strokes best work, and under cover of darkness not making it past the first round, I just am shocked. I know they both have many different elements than the traditional material but boy are these wonderful songs. The most disappointing part was seeing Reptilla (honestly might be my favorite strokes song if it isn't one of their songs form their debut) and last nite fall to under control which then fell to is this is. Both is this it and under control are great songs but are those really what you're putting on for your friends when introducing them to the strokes? Your favorite strokes song? Idk man either reptilla or last nite fit that bill better, or even someday. I like the vid tho, cool insight.
