The Strokes - Room On Fire1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Bringing out a second album, with the aim to better your debut album seems an obvious thing to do... And that is exactly what The Strokes have attempted, and in Most ways succeeded.
This album has the flair of "Is this it" (their debut album), with a little more thrown in just to be sure. The album is full of catchy riffs and rhythms, and the songs "12:51" and "reptilia" are great examples.
I find that the only problem with this album (for myself atleast), is that at first, the songs seem similar. But after listening to the album a few times through this problem was fixed and I managed to see into the songs and see the musical talent that is, The Strokes.
An album well worth the money, if you like this kind of music.

Just what you expect it to be if you like the Strokes!
) I decided to buy 'Is This It' because I had very much liked 'First Impressions on/of(?)Earth by The Strokes. Is This It? being their debut album and the one that made them be critiqued and, more broadly, considered as a reference in what I think is called Garage Rock (but I might be wrong about the 'genre'),and I had read comparisons with The Clash, etc...Quite impressive!
You can tell that Is This It is THe Strokes first album: hence they were younger, and you can hear it from the singer's voice, which is much less 'deep', in my opinion, than it is on First Impressions on /of (?) Earth.
I have not had much time to listen to it over and over again, but some pretty famous songs that are very good are on there.
I bet you will like it (though, like I said, if you heard later albums where the singer has a 'darker' voice, you might be a tiny bit put off at the beginning).
But all in all, a very very good album from a very very impressive band.

) After purchasing their first album around a month ago, i was eager to purchase the second Strokes installment and i am pleased to say that it was a great buy.
The album tracks on this record are much better than 'Is This It' with 'Automatic Stop', 'Meet Me In The Bathroom' and 'The Way It Is' being the pick of the bunch. The album opens up great with 'What Ever Happened?' and 'Between Love and Hate' is also a decent track. On top of the good three released singles 'Reptilia', '12:51', and 'The End Has No End', there are 'Under Control', 'I Can't Win' and 'You Talk Way Too Much', these three are probably the only average songs on the album but are still very listenable when playing the record all the way through.
Overall a great purchase for any Strokes fan or if you were like me just wanting to see what the Strokes were all about, this is a great follow up to Is This It. I shall be purchasing their third album 'First Impressions of Earth' very shortly!
