    For perhaps the first time, his solo work feels less like a tangent to his work with the Strokes and more like something sustainable in its own right.

    On AHJ, there’s not a bad apple in the admittedly small bunch. It’s 15 minutes of music from a guy who is finally comfortable with himself, and that’s clearly doing his music justice.

    AHJ is not the Strokes, but like a closely connected sexy blonde cousin who he’d like to take up to a loft apartment in the Meatpacking District and do bad things to.

    Running a mere five songs and 15 minutes, AHJ is a wholly fat-free effort that favors tight, snappy, emotionally direct songcraft over the genre experiments and instrumental excursions of ¿Cómo Te Llama?

    There's nothing here that doesn't feel like a weaker version of what he's already accomplished as a Stroke. Or as a solo artists for that matter. [No. 104, p.57]
