Review

Let me take you back to 2006, when The Strokes decided to shake things up with their third studio album, "First Impressions of Earth." This LP, produced by the dynamic duo David Kahne and Gordon Raphael, cranked up the distortion and delivered a more aggressive sound than their previous chill vibes. The album felt like a wild ride at an amusement park with its longer playtime, tossing you around for a full 52 minutes of pure rock energy.

While some critics were torn, tossing around terms like "weakest album yet," real fans recognized the boldness in their evolution. Just goes to show, you can't please everyone! Chart-topping in the UK and smashing it with a number four debut in the US—not to mention those killer singles like "Juicebox" and "You Only Live Once"—"First Impressions of Earth" was far from a flop. It was a commercial powerhouse that proved The Strokes weren't afraid to mess with their formula and stir the pot. Love it or cringe a little, this album’s a chapter of their story that just can’t be ignored! - Madi
