I guess I wouldn't know, but I have an inkling that having wealthy parents doesn't make things any easier. The music of the Strokes is quality, period.

Glad to see it made your list as well! The thing that struck me about the songs - after not having listened to the album at all since '06 (right before and after I saw them on their last tour) - was how incredibly tight they are, how catchy, how I spent the rest of '09 singing them in my head all the time. I played the heck out of this album in first few years of this decade, then put it away until I saw them in '06, then again quickly after that. I regret not giving more time this past decade. Putting aside all the easy to hate stuff about the Strokes (trust me, I went thru that phase), I know fully appreciate just how exciting the rock n roll on this album is. Great disc, thanks for including it in your series. I dug this one out in November when I started compiling my own personal best of the decade list. Glad to see it made your list as well!

This album, The Coup's "Party Music", and Dylan's "Love & Theft" defined that year for me. Strokes wore the “it’ crown for a while with this one, and deservedly so.
