Coolio! Let me know what you think. By the way, this will be my first Strokes cd. So far reviews are saying it's good but not original or innovative. whatever....

I bought it today and had a first listen. So far it's okay. I think with a few more listens it will grow on you.

If you haven't listened to the first two albums then you might not get a feel for their music.

"Juicebox" is great and slamming."Razorblade" is also good.I only listened to half so I don't know my favorites yet.There's a lot more slow songs this time.

I was shocked they didn't include the song "Hawaii". It's on the CD single for "Juicebox". It's a great song you should check it out.

I say get the album, but listen to the others as well.

I will buy this CD but here is a negative review from my local weekly. I post it because the last line of the reveiw is one of the best music critic observations that I have read in a long time.

The Strokes
First Impressions of Earth
By Rob Harvilla

Ah, the Dealing with Fame record. The Strokes -- biblically stylish NYC bar-rockers 4 life -- mingle indifference (My feelings are more important than yours) with critical indignance (They love you or they hate you but they will never let you be) and apathy (I've got nothing to say) on their third missive, wherein frontman and mastermind Julian Casablancas does a great deal of screaming about lousy parties, lousy scenes, lousy spotlights, and his lousy generation. His vitriol is fantastic on "Juicebox," a magnificently unhinged actress-baiting rant that renders the rest of First Impressions of Earth impotent by comparison. A few catchy guitar symphonies ("Razorblade," "Electricityscape") fight for space with tuneful but meandering odes to insomnia and capitalism; it's not surprising that a band whose debut was titled Is This It could get so artfully jaded so fast, but these guys would be utterly fantastic if they ever considered your feelings, forgot about mine, and honestly revealed theirs.

I love it so far!
