#

Whatever I put at the bottom somebody was gonna complain

#

So Eternal Summer

#

But that's The New Abnormal

kindred crystal
#

Selfless in Chicago

#

That was the opener to the set

kindred crystal
#

And many people agree with that

#

But maybe the awesomeness and fun of their older popular stuff can be considered greater to others

kindred crystal
#

Threat Of Joy > Meet Me In The Bathroom

#

So much better

#

More fun and artistic, better length and especially better lyrics

#

The lyrics from MMITB are terrible when converted into a lyrics format for a song rather than being words on paper

#

Thats why I think its the lowest tier song on Room On Fire

nova arrow
#

i just got is this it on cddddd, been looking for monthsssss

# kindred crystal Fire

Funny thing I was looking for either Green Day or the arctic monkeys because I didn’t expect there to be anything from the strokes, but I got lucky

Was this AI or a photoshop project

#

Did the lasso tool give you a hard time

vital shuttle
#

Fire but I can’t play any of their songs

kindred crystal
vital marsh
#

they made is this it (crazy)

#

i really like the strokes

#

my mom got me hooked on them when she played reptilia a bunch in the car

odd wraith
#

they are so amazing

#

you’re so right my beloved

chrome ridge
#

My ex best friend got me into them

vital marsh
#

on the other side has the best bassline ever

#

it’s so groovy

tough pilot
#

TNA=ITI>FPP>FIOE>ROF>CDM>Angles

#

tna and iti are tied for like very different reasons

#

tna for musical maturity, cohesion, and the lack of filler

#

iti for the young, sleepy garagey bliss

vital marsh
#

ROF>ITI>FIOE>TNA>CDM>FPP>angles

tough pilot
#

for me fpp is so high cause no filler

#

fioe i like the style

vital marsh
#

it is a 4 song ep so it makes sense theres no filler

tough pilot
#

rof was good but is a repeat of iti somtimes

vital marsh
tough pilot
#

cdm was just a kind of failed attempt at new wave, same with angles

#

i wouldnt say theres a bad strokes record though

tough pilot
vital marsh
#

it had some forgettable songs but so did iti imo

tough pilot
#

also iti has hard to explain

vital marsh
#

you have a point

tough pilot
vital marsh
#

but rof has reptilia and the way it is

tough pilot
#

take it or leave it isnt as good and im not that big on the modern age but everything else is essential

tough pilot
vital marsh
tough pilot
#

plus title track

tough pilot
#

or most of the latter half of rof

vital marsh
#

rof and iti are near identical in quality for me but rof edges iti out slightly

tough pilot
#

rof just kind of also lacks the dreamy bliss parts of iti

vital marsh
#

kinda

#

i think cdm has some pretty underrated songs though

#

partners in crime is top tier

tough pilot
#

there is no bad strokes song

#

except moretti remix but i ignore that one

vital marsh
#

yeah

tough pilot
#

and even then its more unneeded than bad

vital marsh
#

also i will never stop talking about on the other side bassline

tough pilot
#

i love how tap out opens with guitar then goes into talking heads-esque beats

vital marsh
#

tap out is pretty good

#

one way trigger was one of my favs off cdm

tough pilot
#

also juicebox is a top 5 strokes song

vital marsh
#

true

#

maybe

#

idk if i have a top 5 for strokes

tough pilot
#

i also love i cant win

vital marsh
#

i haven't listened to i cant win in a while

#

lemme relisten rq

#

also the end has no end

#

that one is amazing

#

oh it's this one

#

now i remember the whole song

#

lol

tough pilot
vital marsh
#

mk lemme try and make mine

tough pilot
#

hard to explain is somehow relatable despite me having no fucking idea what it means

vital marsh
#
  1. reptilia
  2. the adults are talking
  3. hard to explain
  4. new york city cops
  5. is this it
#

thats a really janky list and i probably will want to change it soon but

#

whatever

tough pilot
#

based

vital marsh
#

actually no hold on

#

there

tough pilot
#

on the hard to explain single on apple music new york city cops has the star because you cant get it anywhere else

vital marsh
#

i'd rather make a top 10

#

i'll just add on in a different post

#
  1. the way it is
  2. i can't win
  3. take it or leave it
  4. someday
  5. 12:51
tough pilot
#

wow that is a lot of rof

vital marsh
#

rof is my favorite

tough pilot
#

my list is mainly dominated by ITI and TNA

vital marsh
#

tna was good but i like the style of rof and iti more

#

tna was a lot more longer and more mellow

tough pilot
vital marsh
tough pilot
#

every song feels essential unlike ROF-CDM where on every album there are just songs you forget about

vital marsh
#

like on the adults are talking or ode to the mets

#

yeah i like the length

#

but on tracks like eternal summer

#

eeeehhhhh

#

not as much

tough pilot
#

probably my least favorite from tna

#

brb making a white stripes post

vital marsh
#

my least fav is definitely eternal summer

#

im also not big on selfless or at the door

#

i do like bad decisions and why are sundays so depressing though

#

then the others (excluding the adults are talking and ode to the mets) are decent or good

#

like i said adults are talking & ode to the mets are the best ones off tna

tough pilot
#

wouldnt consider it synth-pop though, a bit too fucked-up for that

vital marsh
#

something i've always liked about the strokes are their cover art

#

like tna and rof have stellar covers

tough pilot
#

true

#

only strokes cover im not a fan of is the knee cover for iti

#

doesnt reflect the album

vital marsh
#

it's an ass my friend

tough pilot
vital marsh
#

maybe they had a small ass

tough pilot
#

eh

#

i always associated it with a knee

vital marsh
#

i do like this cover a lot more

unknown.png
#

i think it reflects the feel better

tough pilot
#

yeah

#

international cover looks like a glam rock cover

latent ocean
#

da strokes

odd wraith
#

so true

tough pilot
#

false

odd wraith
#

so false worstie

tough pilot
tough pilot
#

hard to explain is now my go-to emotional song

vital marsh
#

strokes have never been an emotional band for me

#

they've always been the band to dance to for me

tough pilot
#

plus lyrically its like stairway to heaven

#

idk what the fuck it means but goddamn those are some nice lyrics

vital marsh
#

hard to explain has always been a prime "dance your heart out at 11 pm at night" song for me

#

if i had to pick a song that was more on the emotional song

#

maybe the end has no end

tough pilot
#

yeah i dont know

#

probably deep purple's first 3 albums

vital marsh
#

other than the strokes im not too sure

#

maybe operation ivy?

#

not too sure about that though

latent ocean
vital marsh
latent ocean
#

its one of the few great tracks off the album

vital marsh
#

adults are talking & ode to the mets are the crown jewels of tna for me

latent ocean
#

that and not the same anymoree

vital marsh
#

i also really like bad decisions and sundays

latent ocean
#

everything else is

#

eh.

tough pilot
#

tna is their best album tied with iti

vital marsh
#

rof supremacy for life

tough pilot
#

rof is slightly worse iti

latent ocean
#

me who actually thinks its comedown machine

tough pilot
#

TNA=ITI>FPP>FIOE>ROF>CDM>Angles

#

#
