Nov 17, 2018If you compare this album with other strokes like The Voidz or Albert yes it needs something more to be great but it's not that bad just isn't good enough(for the strokes fan) but one thing i know is Nick Valensi is one of the best guitarist but not the good vocalist

Feb 22, 2021A simple albums with simple but good songs, it isn't a deep or an album that needs some overthinking or analysis. A great experience to hear but doesn't have an exceptional song but they shine for their rapid and aggressive sound. A nice first album in my opinion

Dec 13, 2016The result is the sound of a veteran talent stepping out and deservedly getting his.

Dec 5, 2016"Anything" sounds like the Cars on an extra-snotty day, while the glistening new wave chug of "Ways to Fake It" and "One Track Mind" feels like the work of a band that influenced the Strokes instead of one of its members. Moments like these are fun for listeners who share CRX's retro fixations, but more often than not, New Skin doesn't deliver on the band's pedigree.

Nov 10, 2016Valensi clings to the crisp tick-tock guitars he favors in his day job. But CRX juices those tidy riffs with ’80s-style synths that give tunes like “Anything” and “Ways to Fake It” a serious Cars vibe.
