So, how does this ad for RCA disguised as a record measure up? It's complicated.
If you liked Angles, you will probably like this. Maybe not, though. If you didn't like Angles, you might like this, but I somehow doubt it.
Comedown Machine is a good deal stranger than anything the Strokes have done. It's very interesting, some of the songs sound like they were culled from some B movie soundtrack. It felt a little schizophrenic the first, I don't know, five times I listened. After that, it started to take on hypnotic qualities (combined with 10+ hours staring a computer monitor probably didn't help). "Call it Fate Call It Karma" on repeat and another cup of tea.
The New Strokes all but kill the Old Strokes with this one. What really matters is, what do you think? How could they, right?!
Listen to it here.
