Free Music Review: best new band in a long time
Hit: 5 Stars

Out of all the pearl jam wanna be bands out there (creed, nickelback, defualt etc etc) and all the 'THE' bands out there now claming to be the saviours of rock (the white stripes, the vines, the hives etc) the strokes are the bands that will carry on with a huge fan base and be remembered for years to come.

Take a listen to is this it and hear the smooth vocals of julian, the simple but very effective light sound of albert and nick on the guitars. Also fab and nickolia on the drums and bass adding to the songs sound and not just trying to show off. Every song on is this it has a signature strokes sound but is each different in its own way. Not to mention they are all fregin catchy specially barely legal and someday.

My favourite song on the album being barely legal should be the place to start for a person who has heard the singles (someday, last ngiht, hard to explain) but is scared the rest of the album doesnt mesure up.

The real strokes winner though is the song NEW YORK CITY COPS a superb song but was taken off the album and replaced with when it started becuase it was a bit sensitive becuase of 9/11. NYC COPS can still be found ont he european version of is this it or on the hard to explain single. SO i really suggest picking one of those up as well.

Now, as i am reviewing the dvd version of is this it the dvd includes the 3 music videos. Last night is played live but not to an audiance, fun video, the guys are looking great and the video just rocks. Hard to explain is a weird video, its my least favourite strokes song and the video is very weird. I guess its hard to explain it (excuse my terrible pun). Someday video si cool, shows the guys in rehersal and chilling out in a bar. THe live preformances are where this dvd is at though. NYC COPS sounds great live, they are on a sqaure stage lit from the bottom and surrounded by an audiance , nick looks so cool when doing the awsome solos NYC COPS contains. ALthough julians vocals are not quite loud enough at points. The modern age live is a great preformance the band is very tight and once again nick hammers that solos with style.

SO all round is this it is the best album since pearl jams yeild, and the dvd is the icing on the cake. GO get it soon!
