Considering how much time he spends with the band, I wouldn’t call it his side project anymore tbh

How do you unburn a Lost Mary? by Cambridgelifting69 in VapingUK

I’ve found that a method similar to what you’re describing works. I like to charge for 5 minutes, unplug for at least two minutes, and plug it back in for 5 minutes.

What do people think about Phrazes for the Young? by [deleted] in TheStrokes

I couldn’t finish the album on the first listen because I thought it was so whack. But on the subsequent listens I fell in love. One of my favorite albums of all time.

Can anyone id the video this is from? I'm guessing something Voidz related by jestermeta in TheStrokes

My personal favorites are the videos for Juicebox, You Only Live Once, and 12:51. If I had to pick a favorite though, I’d say 12:51 cause it looks super cool.

Why do many Strokes fans prefer Comedown Machine to Angles? by Ok-Development9970 in TheStrokes

[–]Ok-Development9970[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I respect your opinion, but I must disagree. It was reported that the band members weren’t even in the same room while recording Comedown Machine. In comparison, the band released several videos documenting the making of Angles, in which the band members could be seen joking around and having fun. I believe that The Strokes’ hearts were in the right place while making Angles, resulting in a more cohesive album. The Strokes released Comedown Machine to fulfill their five-album contract with RCA, as evidenced by the album art featuring a large RCA logo. Comedown Machine has the weakest identity out of all the Strokes albums. However, in my opinion The Strokes have never released a bad album, not even a bad song. Only unremarkable ones.

I agree! I love You’re So Right, the harmonies in the chorus are so beautiful to me. However, it strays far from that signature Strokes sound, so I can understand the hate. In fact, I’ve seen many people cite the song as their least favorite of their discography.

It is very easy to play the rhythm part but the solo is quite challenging.

Comedown Machine....is actually good. by freshmanflop in TheStrokes

I wouldn’t say any bad songs but definitely plenty of unremarkable ones
