i think all 5 (4) songs that have leaked so far sound pretty good ...machu picchu, UCOD, and Life is easy..., being favs so if the second half isn´t totally shite should be a nice one  |

Had 3 or 4 listens now, parts of it have grown on me a little but it's still completely disappointing. Maybe a 6/10 at a push.

The three midway through taken for a fool, games & call me back are standouts. Call me back sounds like it will probably be the single. It's typical Strokes in sound, wouldn't of sounded out of place on their first two records.

Gary will pretend it's good though because he's a great big melt  I might announce that it's great just to confuse him. |

Going back to the topic... I'm not complaining about Angles, which I'll probably dig, but if they resist and don't kill each other I'd love them to do some 60s sounding songs, after exploring the 70s and the 80s. |

i cant stand them bitching about the recording of the album over and over again. Tons of bands would kill to do what they do. Plus, judging by the clips it'll be the shittiest of their record. dont bother, guys. just quit making music together.

The Strokes' Nick Valensi has described the recording process for the band's new album 'Angles' as "awful".
The returning New York five-piece have made no secret of the tension during sessions for their long-awaited fourth album, 'Angles'. Now Valensi has said he is refusing to record their next one in a similar way.
"I won't do the next album we make like this," he told Pitchfork.com. "No way. It was awful – just awful. Working in a fractured way, not having a singer there."
Valensi was referring to band sessions at which singer Julian Casablancas was absent, instead recording his vocals alone away from the rest of the group.
"I'd show up certain days and do guitar takes by myself, just me and the engineer," the guitarist added. "Some of the third album [2006's 'First Impressions Of Earth'] was done that way, but at least we were on the same page about what the arrangements and parts were.
"75 per cent of this album felt like it was done together and the rest of it was left hanging, like some of us were picking up the scraps and trying to finish a puzzle together."
He added that the follow-up to 'Angles' wouldn't be long in the pipeline. "I feel like we have a better album in us," he said, "and it's going to come out soon."
'Angles' is out on March 21. The band recently debuted 'Life Is Simple In The Moonlight', a song from the record, on US TV.

Machu Pichu and Taken For a Fool have grown on me a fuckin' lot which makes 4 of the 5 leaked tracks absolutely brilliant in my eyes

Decent stuff, a couple of pop gems and stays solid and interesting throughout, probably my favourite Strokes solo effort. On a smilar note I tried the Little Joy album a month or so ago after someone (on here I think) bigged it up - it's genuinely one of the dullest things things I've ever heard, real cack |

I remember a few people going nuts for Albert Hammond Jr's solo records, but they used to make me genuinely nod off. I think it was his dull as Barney's pant-drawer melodies and half-arsed sounding vocals. 101 was fucking brilliant, mind. Like a lost Strokes gem (Julian turned it down, apparently. The wazzok)
