tauiwi Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Some of those riffs sounded great, had a 'Room on Fire' feel to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 "You're So Right," the B-side to "Under Cover of Darkness" (which is also on Angles, so it's a kind of double-A-side), will premiere on radio TOMORROW, Sunday 2/27, between 9 and 10 AM EST. This is the blog post about it, and you can listen live here tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous Old Painter Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 huh? whats wrong? is it a fake? It's Under Cover Of Darkness, the first single. We've had it for weeks.

Keddie Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 http://consequenceofsound.net/2011/02/check-out-the-strokes-youre-so-right/ -"You're So Right" I love this one a lot more than Under Cover of Darkness. I love the distorted sound. If you've ever listened to Julian's solo album, you can tell that it's reminiscent of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyDancerKar Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I like this one a lot more than Under Cover of Darkness as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I have kind of mixed feelings about "You're So Right" because it's less "my style" than "Under Cover of Darkness," but I do really think it's a grower. I just kind of had to get over the creepy vibe first. The 30-second previews are AMAZING, though. I think they show real promise, even if they're kind of a bit less classic-sounding than I was hoping for. My instantaneous impression was that it sounds like most of it was recorded in 1986, in the same way that Is This It sounds like it could have been recorded in 1977. Two of them, I won't say which for people that want to save the surprise, sound almost like rip-offs of preexisting songs, though, one of which has been referred to in the track-by-track reviews.

Keddie Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 UCoD video is amazing. It might even end up beating the YOLO video to become my favorite Strokes music video at some point. Gotta love Warren Fu. He knows how to set a mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keddie Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 ^A lot of people are saying that. I think it sounds quite different, though. It has the feel of River of Brakelights, but it sounds more like The Strokes because of the particular guitar sounds in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldplay_is_louve. Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 18 days until the new album. :cheesy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Listen to Machu Picchu and Taken for a Fool HERE! Both written by the BAMF that is Nick Valensi :wacky: In theory they shouldn't be my vibe because they're so...poppy and 80s, but I think I love them :bigcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 OK actually you can't listen there anymore...it looks like the radio station pulled the songs, probably because they weren't authorised to post them yet. This is the SECOND TIME this has happened regarding this album, seemingly. But the songs are like...everywhere on the internet already, haha. Check Twitter or Tumblr if you have them and you're bound to find them...

Keddie Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I refuse to listen to any more of Angles until the release date. I am determined! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 You go, Katie! :dance: I really do admire people that wait just for the willpower. Which is something I don't have when it comes to things like The Strokes. I also just think it adds to my personal experience to get it drip by drip and then hear how it all comes together later--it's part of the experience for me. BUT. I think you are going to LOVE these two songs :wacky:. I have a newfound appreciation for Valensi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
