This one is definitely going to be a quick one. Room on Fire is the follow-up to the current #1 album on this blog, Is This It. Simply put, this certainly feels like a follow-up album and very much a continuation of The Strokes signature sound.
The high points of this one are still quite good, however as an overall album I opt for Is This It. I also listened to them back to back, so it paled extra hard in comparison as well as functioning as the second half of a double album where the first is much better. I’ll probably come back to this more when Is This It has worn on me a bit because I’ve overplayed it. Oh well, this blog is experiential anyways, fuck you!
Favorite songs: What Ever Happened?, Reptilia, Automatic Stop, 12:51, Between Love & Hate, Meet Me In The Bathroom, Under Control
