After reading mixed reviews for "Angles" I was cautiously optimistic that The Strokes had come back with a bang and not a whimper.
As soon as the first minute of album opener "Machu Picchu" had played ,it was clear that one of my favourite bands had indeed made a triumphant return.
Whilst it may lack the impact of "Is This It" as a groundbreaking album,it makes up for this with a more polished and at times,experimental sound.
Stand out tracks are "You're So Right" and "Games" but I cannot not really find a track I don't like.This album will break in like a new pair of shoes after a few listens.
If you like "The Strokes" you will like the album and if you are new to the band it will probably make you buy the earlier albums.
I only hope the next album doesn't take so long to release.

I know that once you've read this title, you probably think I'm not a proper Strokes fan. You can dispel that thought now - once I only talked in Strokes lyrics and I found it fairly easy... that's how dedicated I was.
However, I lost the bug in the 5 year wait for Angles, as I found so many new bands coming up. Then, when Angles was released, I stupidly listened to the reviews and didn't buy it straight away.
BIG MISTAKE.
This is an amazing album. JC really perfects his song writing and vocals, and he has managed to write great parts for each instrument, not just for himself. Each song is absolute perfection, my favourite being Metabolism - when it gets to the end it is divine.
However, it's not like Is This It at all.
1) It's deeper. You have to listen to it a few times to fully appreciate it. But once you have gotten into it, you won't be able to put it off...
2) They're not anthems. Perhaps a couple are, but the Strokes have done the anthems thing and now it's time for them to experiment. And frankly, they did it great.
So please, I beg of you, buy this album and love it. God knows that I did.

The Strokes have moved from the ordinary sound to a new, good and more song-focused sound. I think, personally, the change worked out very well. It can't never go wrong when this band performs with Julian Casablancas's voice and lovely sound of detachment.
If you love The Strokes or just a rock/indie fan, this album is a must-have.
So buy it! You have my recommendation :).

Back to their best
Its been hard for the strokes to live up to Is This It but many of their later albums have some great songs and absolutely no filler. Excellent.

Just to add context, I've had this album for a couple of months now. It's the kind of album that on first listen you think it's a bit weird and, frankly, a bit of a mess (cue a... Read more

Excellent service as I've always found with on time delivery and the product in first class condition.

Angles is one of Strokes' best.
This album has been a long time coming for Strokes' fans, but I've only really started listening to them this year, long after the hype of 2001. Read more

It will turn you, trust me.
I'd like to start this review by saying that I've only been listening to The Strokes for about a year now, so I have experienced all 4 albums in 12 months rather than 10... Read more

Not keen
Was looking forward to this album but it doesn't do anything for me at the moment. Maybe a few more listenings needed but, to be honest, I ain't looking forward to playing it... Read more
