Lizzybear Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 according to a news headline on their official website, the Strokes are back in studio! the caption states that the album should be released "EARLY NEXT YEAR" and promises updates. I was hoping for a November release but I wouldn't mind all that much to wait a couple of extra months (especially with Jules' forthcoming solo album and tour to look forward to) they "officially" began working on the album on March 27th, after initially meeting on February 11th to brainstorm. yeah.... well at least Jules solo album is coming out this fall so we can look forward to that for a bit and then come Jan. or Feb. of next year THE STROKES BE BACK :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: OK but seriously im expecting some press conferences or some sightings/ interviews of Jules to be coming up here pretty soon since his album is coming right up :whip: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzybear Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I dont think its poopy. Read the article and you will see what Jules wanted to do. Plus I guess Nick is going to be touring with Jules some :dead: MUST SEE JULES LIVE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzybear Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 ^ no not late next year. He said they are basically done and record companies dont like to release albums around Christmas so they are still aiming for next March. So Ill be content hearing Jules new album for a while this fall and then the Strokes will almost have their album out, early next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjaiken Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Is this it is fantastic. And this new album better be good too after this long of a wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keddie Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I still don't understand the reason for such a delay. Are they working with Axl Rose? Is this Chinese Democracy II? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keddie Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 :rolleyes: They wanted to experiment with other things, thus all the solo stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 ^ that's cool and all. But since 2001, I've watched the strokes become less and less relevant. They may have no desire to be the biggest band in the world, but they at least need to be producing good music. I had a brief conversation with Nick about this issue. I asked him why "you only live once" was not the first single off "first impressions...". He said, "because our label is stupid." That was clearly the most marketable song off the last album, but it wasn't released as a single until the album was dead. This tells me that they have an interest in maintaining some degree of popularity. Julian has also said it's important to him to avoid writing songs that are only appealing to a small minority. Well, if that's the case, they are going about it the wrong way. Since "this is it," each album has performed more poorly than than the last.

Keddie Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Well, popularity has nothing to do with talent:shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 ^ no doubt. I am not saying they should strive for top 40 popularity, but what good is it to make records that very few people care about? That's been the path they have been on. And instead of addressing the situation, they make a bunch of solo albums. That's their choice, I guess. I like the strokes, but they are hardly relevant any longer.

Keddie Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Well as long as they like what they make it's alright. And I know that I like all of their albums, so I'm fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Yeh making albums because you think it will sell well isn't the right attitude but the strokes are losing their relevance largely because of their poor relationship with media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 ^^ ok, remove popularity from the conversation. Each album has been worse than the past. I agree with the general public on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keddie Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Okay, well I guess that is your opinion and I respect that. I personally love all of the albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I don't think I said I didn't love all their albums. I do. But each album has been weaker than the previous, IMO. I didn't know we were talking about me. I'm talking abot the fact that every album has sold half of the prior album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keddie Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Okay. I was just confused as to what you meant by "relevant". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
