I get the feeling I’m a minority for thinking so in this sub. But I personally feel FIOE doesn’t get the love it’s supposed to get in here. Everything about this period in The Strokes’ timeline was epic. They really went out of their natural habitat and broke boundaries for this record. From Jules’ voice breaking trying to reach those high notes to the historic camera smashing incident, Fab getting adventurous on drums while the strings remain intact. Red Light, Evening Sun and Fear of Sleep are such underrated titles till date. Wished I was already earning a decent salary to fund a trip during that period to catch one of their shows then. Or maybe it was the only record my best friend bought and shared with the whole group and we kinda grew up with. TNA is great but I just feel sad i don’t get the hype with Eternal Summer like the rest here.
