Review
The Strokes are back in the game with their 2011 album "Angles", and it's a real comeback story. After a five-year hiatus, they're looking to shake things up and prove they still have what it takes to be a top contender in the rock world. The "Angles" lineup is full of surprises, with tracks like "Under Cover of Darkness" and "Taken for a Fool" delivering a strong one-two punch of catchy, upbeat melodies that show off the band's signature rock style with a fresh 80s twist. The Strokes are looking to make a statement, and "Angles" is their game plan. They're taking a more experimental approach, incorporating electronic elements and exploring new sounds.
In the "Angles" playbook, The Strokes have a few MVP tracks that really stand out, like "Games", which is a real showstopper with its futuristic synth-heavy sound. Other tracks, like "You're So Right" and "Life is Simple in the Moonlight", use more subtle electronics to add depth and diversity to the album. The Strokes are drafting a new team, blending their post-punk style with a new wave of sound, and it's a winning combination. They're not afraid to take risks and try new things, and that's what makes "Angles" such a compelling listen. The album may have a few fumbles in terms of tone, but overall, it's a vibrant addition to The Strokes' catalog, and it sets the stage for their future explorations. - Jason
