 | | The Strokes released their debut album Is This It in the U.S. in October 2001 on RCA after delays due to the album's graphic European cover - (a black and white photo of a gloved hand and a woman's artfully discreet yet naked frontside in semiprofile in reference to Spinal Tap's album Smell the Glove. | | | Their third album, First Impressions of Earth, was released in January 2006 to mixed reviews and debuted at Number 4 in the US Album charts, and scored them their first UK Number 1 album. | | | They released their sophomore album Room on Fire in October 2003, to good reviews, but it was unloved by the public. |

| | The Strokes took the stage at the appointed time, played their entire debut album almost song-for-song, and then walked off stage. | | | And in many circles, the Strokes' credibility remains suspect for the preposterous reason that their lead singer might have been rich before he got into rock music. | | | The Strokes deliver gangly melodic rock in a dispassionate tone that generates the same affections as a band like Pavement. |

| | The Strokes: Room on Fire - PopMatters Music Review |
| | It's like a do-over, as it sounds as if The Strokes recorded the new album in the exact same way as they recorded their debut, but this time around, as a band with plenty of touring experience, with new musical ideas, and a newfound maturity. | | | A short while later, however, The Strokes amicably parted company with Godrich, choosing to record their follow-up album with Is This It producer Gordon Raphael instead, and you could practically hear the collective groan on the Internet. | | | These days, it's commonplace for young bands to not fully live up to their potential, as they aim too high, trying way too hard to impress, but anyone who dismisses The Strokes' new album after just one listen is seriously mistaken. |

| | The Strokes aren't quite on fire. By Sasha Frere-Jones |
| | The sound of the album was the sound of the stage show was the sound of their single "Last Nite" cutting through the chatter in a bar. | | | The Strokes melt their songs down to a single sound, as if trying to recapture the fury of '60s mono recordings. | | | Before any quotes pop up, Strokes songs sound like Strokes songs, the way Police songs sound like the Police, even if there are bits of reggae stranded in the gelatin. |

| | The Strokes Album Reviews |
| | The main problem with the album is that 14 songs is about 3 too long; the album seems to drag on and on, and after the fact it's difficult to separate songs, variety never exactly being this band's stock in trade. | | | Nobody does "laconic yet rocking" quite like The Strokes at their best, and they still have those pretty intermeshing or harmonized guitars, though as I mentioned before this album is at times much rougher around the edges than in the past. | | | Instead, The Strokes are prime recyclers, regurgitating the best bits from garage/punk bands past and molding them into a sound that is ultimately all their own. |

| | The Strokes' sound is a lean and lithe mélange of Television, Blondie and the Velvet Underground: plain, tough vocals, straightforward guitars, steady rhythms and the casual art-pop meets rock 'n' roll attitude of those bands. | | | Compared to the Strokes, though, Green Day had two albums in their pocket when they hit the major labels, and At the Drive In had three albums out before signing with Virgin. | | | The Strokes, by contrast, signed with RCA, home to Christina Aguilera, the Foo Fighters and the Dave Matthews Band, before releasing a debut record. |

| | Instead, the Strokes reunited Gordon Raphael, who produced their debut album, on Room On Fire, which was released in the fall of 2003. | | | While the band scored a top 10 modern rock hit with "Last Nite," landed dates opening for the Rolling Stones, and was named band of the year in 2002 by Spin, Is This It was only a minor hit on a commercial level. | | | Initially gaining notice with three-song The Modern Age EP (released in the U.K. on Rough Trade and picked up for U.S. release on Beggars Banquet), the Strokes soon landed a U.S. deal with RCA, with the buzz about the band growing on both sides of the Atlantic. |

| | Strokes: Is This It: Pitchfork Review |
| | What's refreshing to me about the Strokes is that, in a musical climate where even the dirtiest garage bands can create the illusion of million-dollar studio techniques through sound filters on mom's Packard-Bell, the Strokes prefer to rock in the classic vein: no laser sounds, no ethereal reverb, no pre-programmed Aphex beats. | | | Any sentimentality in these songs' lyrics is countered by Casablancas' self-reliant indifference, and his listless delivery is offset by the band's fervid attack. | | | But the difference between the two bands lies in their degrees of skill: the Stripes have an air of amateurishness that belies songwriter Jack White's obvious talents; the Strokes, even on their debut album, sound like experienced professionals for whom mastering the form seems only an album away. |

| | It was the return to the capital of The Strokes, New York City's finest rock 'n' roll band, for the first time since their triumphant Alexandra Palace residency back in 2003. | | | The set tonight was essentially divided in two - the first section was comprised entirely of new songs, 11 to be precise, whilst the second half was reserved for their now almost legendary material from their first two albums. | | | The slow burning On The Other Side was another early highlight, built around some characteristically lazy vocals and an incredibly sweet sounding chorus. |

| | Yeah, the lyrics still seem not-quite-ripe in places, but overall, with their third album, the Strokes have achieved something pretty spectacular for a band of not yet thirty-somethings: they've grown into themselves. | | | They earned a place in the heart of jaded rock & roll trollops with Is This It, the 2001 debut that shocked the world with the revelation that music should be crass and speedy and flashy and slutty. | | | They've never kicked harder than "Juicebox," which turns the old "Peter Gunn" riff into a surf-metal snarl, or "Heart in a Cage," which jumps like Iggy Pop in "The Passenger." But the music is full of beard-stroking classic-rock flourishes. |

| | When The Strokes (music) released their first singles in 2001, sweeping New York City and seemingly all of the UK into a frenzy, the band paved the way for all the retro-ness that's arrived since then. | | | Skinny-boy, classic-rock and '80s revivalists Franz Ferdinand, Kings of Leon and The Killers owe much of their success to the still-early-20-somethings from Manhattan who, with their first album, "Is This It," dismissed overproduced noise for garage-band simplicity. | | | But where The Killers have blended their influences into perfect little radio-friendly pieces of pop, The Strokes, with their third album, "First Impressions of Earth," seem more interested in creating something new. |

| | As it is, the best they can hope for is a brief surge in sales (based on the strength of the album's singles alone) and then a quick ride down the swift waterslide of obscurity, having alienated their core audience and left themselves subject to the whims of an increasingly insular and fickle mainstream. | | | At any rate, the proverbial bell is tolling for New York's post-punk darlings The Strokes, and it sounds a little something like First Impressions of Earth, their third and most regrettably refined album to date. | | | For Earth the band cut ties with former producer and collaborator Gordon Raphael, opting instead for the studio-slick stylings of David Kahne, previously known for his work with such vapid rock acts as Sugar Ray. |
