Free Music Notes for Is This It
Free Music Review: Oh boy , i was soooo wrong ...
Hit: 5 Stars
Now look into my eyes and believe me : "Is This It" is one of the 100 greatest albums of all time , and one really close from being at the top of the list , right between Marquee Moon and White Light/White Heat !Rarely in my life have I seen such a brilliant record , with absolutly no flaw and a truly unique sound . Yes my dear fellows , I said , like , "a truly unique sound" . "Is This It" is commonly known as the godfather of Rock'n Roll revival , but there is absolutly no way you could compare it to the likes of The Vines or The White Stripes . The Strokes sounds like the 70's , yet nothing in the 70's sounds like The Strokes . Casablancas sings like Lou Reed on The Modern Age ? SO WHAT ?
WAKE UP GUYS ! When critics compare The Strokes to The Velvet Underground or Television , what they truly mean is just that The Strokes belongs to the same kind of small and arty underground bands !
And that is exactly why I HATED The Strokes at first glance . When I heard everyone talking about a "revolution" , I thought The Strokes were the Nirvana of the 00's and thus was really disapointed by those weird and childish songs . It took me two years and a couple of other listenings to understand what "Is This It" was really all about , to understand it wasn't a record that took itself seriously at all and that it was never meant to fill stadiums. The Strokes is exactly the kind of bands you'd enjoy in small , private nightclubs where you can smoke and drink as you wish to fully enjoy the music .
This isn't The Beatles , Led Zeppelin or Nirvana . This is merely one of the greatest albums of all time , and that's good enough for me .
Is This It Poster
2002 reissue of their 2001 debut album includes the original track list with the controversial 'New York City Cops' which was replaced with 'Take It Or Leave It' on the US pressing. This import pressing also includes different artwork to the US version. The bonus DVD is in the NTSC/Region 0. The DVD (which features the same content as the US version) includes the bands 3 videos, 'Last Night', 'Hard To Explain' & 'Someday' as well as 2 un-aired live performances from MTV2's '2$Bill' show, 'Modern Age' & 'New York City Cops'.
