I must admit that I found this album a little disappointing. It isn't bad, but it lacks that certain something, that sets great bands apart from the rest. There are two good songs on the album, but it is let down by the quality of the vocalist, who reminds me of Iggy Pop. Their guitar-orientated sound also sounds a bit derivative. I guess if I were top recommend some alternatives they would be: Travis, Radiohead and The White Stripes. All of whom have that spark, which the Strokes don't seem to have. For the saviors of Rock and Roll I would look elsewhere.
