    Last night, she said
    "Oh, baby, I feel so down
    Oh, it turns me off
    When I feel left out"
    So I, I turned 'round
    Oh, baby, don't care no more
    I know this for sure
    I'm walking out that door
    Well, I've been in town for just 'bout fifteen, oh, minutes now
    And baby, I feel so down
    And I don't know why
    I keep walking for miles
    And say, people, they don't understand
    No, girlfriends, they can't understand
    Your grandsons, they won't understand
    On top of this, I ain't ever gonna understand

    Oh, it turns me off
    When I feel left out"
    So I, I turned 'round
    Oh, baby, gonna be alright
    It was a great big lie
    'Cause I left that night, yeah
    Oh, people, they don't understand
    No, girlfriends, they don't understand
    In spaceships, they won't understand
    And me, I ain't ever gonna understand
    Last night, she said
    "Oh, baby, I feel so down
    See, it turns me off
    When I feel left out"

    I love how all of this is done live. You can see the shenanigans' effects on the sound. At 2:15, Albert knocked over the mic, so he turned around and I tried to grab it, meaning his guitar part was absent during that sequence. Another is at 2:31, Fabrizio pushed both of the microphones recording his drum so his drum sound got significantly reduced. Oh I love all these little things. Really shows that the attitude of the artist and their live playing capabilities. Please give us another album to cherish!

    When I was 15 I went on a trip to Amsterdam with a mate and his family who were from there. One day as we were trying to sneak into some coffee shops we saw a guy holding a map and talking on the phone who looked just like Albert Hammond Jr. So we were standing there in the middle of a busy shopping street, pointing, wondering if it was really him as we waited for him to hang up. Suddenly someone tapped me on my shoulder and said, "Hey kid, you should get his autograph, it's him". I replied that I thought so too and then a split second later realised it was actually Julian! I didn't have any paper, only those big rizla rolling papers, so he signed that for me. I said great show and he wrote "to Rachel". We laughed about it and then he signed another. Good memories :)

    Interesting Fact: Brandon Flowers (The Killers) in an interview said that when “Is This It” was released in 2001, they threw away all ideas for their songs except Mr. Brightside.
    It’s safe to say without The Strokes (and of course the help of The White Stripes and Interpol), there would be no Killers, no Arctic Monkeys, no Franz Ferdinand, no Black Keys and so on. Post-Punk Revival of the 2000’s wouldn’t exist without The Strokes.

I remember how everyone compared them to new wave/post punk bands from the 80s and called them retro. It seems like new rock is gearing towards an interesting psychedelic/electronic direction, but its clear that the Strokes were a futuristic band, to the point were everyone else is still catching up with what they did.

    The Strokes' early albums are so timeless due to their deceptive simplicity and candor, both in songwriting and production. You have to remember that at the time _Is This It_ came out, Nü Metal was at its absolute peak, with bands like Linkin Park and Papa Roach thriving in all their maximalist, Wagnerian loudness. The Strokes' ability to bring sophisticated harmonic chord patterns, charismatic lyricism and dynamics, and evocative, intimate imagery to their music was nothing short of a *stroke of genius. All of which were done so masterfully with no fluff and no filler; just smart, seemingly insouciant, minimalist guitar pop, appearing out of nowhere. It was such a welcome respite from the compressed, shredded noise that dominated the airwaves and the reason The Strokes' appeal continues to today.

    You know what the world could really use right now? A fresh band that brings that same kind of magic The Strokes delivered when they first came onto the scene. We need a band that's unafraid to experiment with sound, and create a unique style that becomes iconic. It wasn't just about the music; it was about their attitude, their authenticity. The only band that has given me the same feeling in recent years has been The Doublejumps, which is a band from my home country New Zealand (I live in Australia now). Sooo wish I could see them and The Strokes live one day 😎

    20 years ago these guys saved rock n' roll one last time with their debut LP. I know there has been more amazing rock bands (and many more underground rock bands) since Is This It came out, but none had the pop and musical impact The Strokes had. At least for me they were the last truly "rock" band ever.
