marisagJan 4, 2006Some years from now, this album will be seem as what it really is: a masterpiece of rock'n'roll, one of the best albuns ever made. But I guess it's too early for that. The critics are too busy trying to destroy what they perceive as "the hypest band ever". Let them have fun, I say. We know better.

SalameroNJan 4, 2006Are these critisd on crack! This record is ridiculously good! Not perferfect, but what is? Totally different than their first two while still staying true to their unique sound!

RuviWJan 4, 2006Amazing album. The energy is raugh and overwhelimg. It's not as sophisticated as previous albums, but it certinly got more "edge" and crazyness.

DonKJan 5, 2006I got off the music train after the Clash, but this really rocks! It is spot on and awesome! If all caps were allowed in postings here, I would gladly use them. The Strokes are among my heroes.

BeckyBFeb 8, 2006Simply the best band around and an album to prove that. Somehow totally different whilst being entirely recognisable as The Strokes we know and love.

VinnygJan 20, 2010SO UNDERRATED. While not quite as good as "Is This It," it easily surpasses "Room on Fire." I personally love almost every single track. The Strokes are definitely a great band.

JulianGJan 2, 2006Great album, begins with 3 great tracks and ends solidly with a track that reminds us of their first album.

joshohJan 20, 2006La neta esta bien chido este disco !!!

paulrJan 22, 2006This album proves the band to be the best in the buisness.3/3 and more juice to come.

[Anonymous]Jan 27, 2006Pretty much the best cd of all time. You get completely rocked out from the first 3 tracks and still have 11 solid hits to go. This album also contains at least a dozen of the best lines ever heard on cd, mp3, vinyl, whatever

EamonSJan 8, 2006Is this It? has just been eclipsed. FIOE has genius lyrics and a really cool sound. Their best album yet and better than any album from 2005.

PaulBJan 8, 2006looking for a stonking album?? this will blow your balls off!!

lukewFeb 10, 2006what is wrong with the music critics? is everyone really that snotty, they can't admit that the strokes made a fan-fucking-tastic record? is it just me? maybe my taste has become less discerning, i dunno. i'm just kinda flabbergasted that people aren't falling all over themselves; i think it's totally brilliant. and gutsy. and absurdly catchy.

Shawna-Mar 2, 2006my all time favorite band. Ten.

BlenderEarth is the sound of a band coming to that inevitable realization: five patrician perfectionists who've resolved to sound sloppy, even (or especially) at the risk of fucking up. [Jan/Feb 2006, p.98]

Turns out what the world was waiting for really was those that saved guitars finally making a record that truly reaped the rewards of their efforts. Is this it? OH GOD YES!

First Impressions introduces some subtle new colors to the band's musical palette... but the pervasive sense of inert boredom, which has been noted as a strength in the past, is difficult to shake.
