The Strokes - The New Abnormal: 7.5 (high B+)


Upped from "liked" upon getting slightly wiser as I aged. I think I always resented them for being over-privileged New York City kids, when I was a graffiti-writing, acid-taking Manhattan gutter rat from the immediately prior generation. But that's just bitterness, and was like rejecting James McMurtry because he has a famous father. Awesome album cover too, speaking of NYC graffiti from the immediately prior generation. I think Casablancas even named one of his kids Zephyr, although maybe not after the great vandal I ran slightly behind and idolized when these guys were pampered tots in the crumbling metropolis.
