A friend at work loaned me the second Strokes CD, which I just never got
around to picking up when it came out. I must say that, to me, it sounds
like the work of two totally different bands. Whereas on their debut, The
Strokes sounded like a band that was heavily derivative of The Velvet
Underground, Television, et al., this second effort sounds like a band that
is heavily derivative of The Strokes. That it's The Strokes themselves
sounding like second-rate copycats of The Strokes is, from a conceptual
standpoint, pure genius. From the standpoint of my spending $14 for this
disc -- no thanks...
