The Strokes - Room on Fire - 2003

I’ve always loved The Strokes singles, distantly but enthusiastically. I’ve heard tremendous praise of their live shows and hold pure envy towards those who talk about it because I never had experienced them live myself. (Depressing plug: I miss all concerts and live music *cries*)

Anyway, this album was no surprise to me. Their sound is so distinct with the slight muffled vocals and the heavy guitar riffs. I loved every song but sort of because every song mushed into one for me. In this case, that wasn’t a bad thing, because it’s all so good.

Makes me wants to blast this music in the middle of Central Park and dance in the sun. This is happy music to me.
