I feel like Phrazes for the Young for him closer to his rock n roll phase. Fun fact: 3 members of The (future) Voidz helped him make the song “I like the 😊night”, which is an original song he wrote for a cologne commercial! This guy wrote an original song for A COMMERCIAL. “My Drive Thru” was also a commercial ad for Converse. If you haven’t heard it then I recommend that you do!
This album's amazing. It sounds distorted b'c of the apocalyptic waste land theme. A robotic voice recruiting what's left in the aftermath when M.A.D. was ignored. The sounds/effects/voices are perfect for the slow machinations of a world grinding slowly to a halt. It even sounds like it.
"This is not for everybody; this is for nobody... Then, *that* drawn-out sigh of relief. Like Jules is shedding a weight that had been building for more than a decade; can feel that palpably in this song, on this album, with what he's pursuing now, musically. What a vein of form he's found.
Damn, love it when musicians break the rules and achieve another way of making a point. Fucking genius the way each bum chord resolves the previous bum chord.
I'm so in love with this album. I just lay here as the music weaves backwards and forwards through my mind. I feel... changed. Disrupted somehow, yet more in focus... I can't quite put it into words...
This album aged well. Virtue and all the singles they’ve been dropping have been immaculate! The American Way, Did My Best, Prophecy of the Dragon….oh, man! Now, if you really want to be blown away, you should check out there random and incredible jam sessions during concerts. These guys have mastered music and can make it ON A WHIM!! It’s literally extraordinary!!
I'm not crazy about the whole album but some of the songs are 10/10. This is one of them :). Love the new direction and I can't wait to hear what he's got in store
I feel like this song explains how julian feelt about the music industry he wanted to be like everyone else just to be in their army of mainstream artist but now he just does his own thing and I think he should keep rolling with it
this song is so meta. it starts with why this project came to be: "something to do", "when you don't want it anymore" could refer to julian's work with the strokes and wanting to take a break from it. they wish that this project stays away from the mainstream limelight: "not ready for the podium yet". the second verse probably refers to the production of this album and the creative process. "innovators" referring to the album's experimental departure from Julian's usual materials and "shameless imitators" referring to how the album still borrows ideas/motifs from his other materials, most notably Julian's vocals. seems like he's pleased with the outcome though, "best time is when i feel your lashes lashing me". lashes probably refers to the album's resulting characteristic dark and aggressive sound. it's almost prophetic in that he knows that most people listening to this song will not like it and pan it: "this is not for everybody, this is for nobody," perhaps because of its experimental nature. same with the music critics: "it took a thousand days to build and only a day to destroy" probably refers to the album and the lukewarm reception it will/did receive. however at the same time it's almost in denial of that fact: "the customer is obviously oblivious and wrong" and still desires to be accepted: "take me in your army".
Yeah , no. It's clearly written for Nucleaur Fallout and Neo Conservative Religous Zealots. its just like the Clashs earlier work with Radio Clash. This isn't for everybody ( not what the living masses want to hear) This is for nobody ( its a message to the lifeless w/o a body) It took a thousand years to build ( it took much work to build a civilization) It took me a day to destroy ( in one day nucleaur destruction destroyed it all) The customer is obviously Oblivious and wrong He also alludes to it at the ending of HUMAN SADNESS , in the end when nuclearur destructions kicks off and he puts his sunglasses on and there is a red. In all my dreams, I'm waiting for ya And nothing has ever changed, except I can't touch you The best part is when I feel you You're just watchin' me Me Take me in your army *Hes making reference to religious fanatics who spend life awaiting for REVELATIONS to happen and for jesus to return; like the necons.
Cuando por primera vez escuche el album dije "esto no es lo que pensaba" pero descubri que asi era el estilo de jules y no queria hacer lo mismo de the strokes, al paso del tiempo le agarre la onda y ahora es de mis discos favoritos
some stuff in the songs just feels like it doesn't fit or sounds like an alarm, but soon enough you realize "this sounds awesome", it's a perfect mess.
I feel like the potential to be an awesome person in the comment sections has never been higher. Like, you have to be somewhat cool to listen to these underground masterpieces.
"It took a thousand years to build and only a day to destroy The customer is obviously oblivious and wrong" It's pretty clear Julian is tired of the whole media-fan thing
This album was a breath of fresh air! Wow! I had it went it dropped, but revisiting it reminds me of how ahead their music is! They have a beautiful sound on this track sheeshhhh
I really love thart clanking sound, I'd love to find an interview of how they made the sou ds on this album if anyone knows of one I'd be grateful to have the link. I'm interested in music production but haven't got very far with it yet tho.
I also acompained the proccess of creation through blogs, sites, interviews, until I got to see their show in the Brazilian Lollapalooza in April... Since then, they improved constantly. Great job!
+Luis Ortiz been digging that vibe on a lot of his music lately. 11th dimension, where no eagles fly, now here. "I wasn't ready for the podium yet/just the stage"
Oooh, lol misunderstanding, I was ranking the albums.. I wasn’t comparing the three. I like phrazes a little bit more than Virtue, I love The Voidz, I can’t wait for more work or even more solo work from Casablancas
Julian Casablanca Today is the best day of my life.Julian thank you for this message.I want to crie.All day in my mind is TYRANNY.My ears was made just for your music.I am 35 years old.I have a kid autistic 5 years old,and my dream is to go in USA with my son from GREECE just for you Julian.Just for a Live.THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWER.JULIAN CASABLANCAS YOU ARE MY HOPE
Tim Meijer Thank you so much.But i thing that i must be waiting,for a long time,to saw JULIAN CASABLANCAS here in GREECE.Why JULIAN.GREECE is Near to TURKEY.WHY...........Feeling extremely disappointed..................................................
Justamente suena a una versión mas synth-punk de "Domo Tu", muyy loco. Recomendame más composiciones de él, la primera vez que escuche ese tema sentí que el alma se me iba hacia otro mundo, jajajaj. Buen punto 👏, ambos temas estan adelantados a su tiempo, mas que nada este ahora
it seems like a declaration of be active refusing the podium, but mixing in a society made up of innovators and imitators(enjoing of their lashes). a society( critic to politicians) where something is accessible to someone and other thing is denied to anyone. a society in which to build something good needs a long time but politicians can destroy in oneday and the people is always wrong( this is tyranny). so julian wants to fight making part of the antisistem army.
tyranny Phrazes for the young Virtue ranking it because I think the first two are really original, while virtue was the basic even though it isn't? you'll understand if you listen to the voidz and maybe two other bands everyday
Norman Garcia virtue is definitely more tamed than tyranny...but it’s still unique and very creative, the drummer went all out on that album haha. And the change of pace between each song is definitely awesome like between We’re where we were and Lazy Boy. Still, i don’t think we can put Phrazes in this comparison. I liked all of them btw...my favs are Dare i care and Tourist’s/Glass’s guitar solos, as to virtue still haven’t made my mind yet :p
I like the direction of the Album and the total project, I think it’s the way tyranny captured my total musical attention that I was left with.. what if Virtue was released first, and Tyranny second. As for phrazes It has more similarities to Virtue, just too me I like it a little more.
I don't think Julian has made or been involved with the making of a bad song in his entire life. What a musical genius!
I feel like Phrazes for the Young for him closer to his rock n roll phase. Fun fact: 3 members of The (future) Voidz helped him make the song “I like the 😊night”, which is an original song he wrote for a cologne commercial!

You’re So Right is not good :(
This album's amazing. It sounds distorted b'c of the apocalyptic waste land theme. A robotic voice recruiting what's left in the aftermath when M.A.D. was ignored. The sounds/effects/voices are perfect for the slow machinations of a world grinding slowly to a halt. It even sounds like it.
"This is not for everybody; this is for nobody...
Then, *that* drawn-out sigh of relief. Like Jules is shedding a weight that had been building for more than a decade; can feel that palpably in this song, on this album, with what he's pursuing now, musically. What a vein of form he's found.
Wow, my guy. You are very articulate. Don’t know if you’ve ever been told that but you are. Nicely done.
Damn, love it when musicians break the rules and achieve another way of making a point. Fucking genius the way each bum chord resolves the previous bum chord.
We are blessed by darkness and rhythm
I'm so in love with this album. I just lay here as the music weaves backwards and forwards through my mind. I feel... changed. Disrupted somehow, yet more in focus... I can't quite put it into words...
I agree
high.
at least I am.
I feel the same!!! its a magical feeling..
Jesus Christ. Get your shit together. All of you.
Josh Rivers no shut up it’s good
this album is so wonderfully mindfuck-y
Gonna cry?
Oh boy yeah
That's a cute album, did your Jules make it for you?
That's y it's best to listen to when ur high
This song deff has its own mood.
Julian is like the seasons musically and creatively. I can't wait to see and hear what's next.
Q . Mark 10:17 am EST. devvin.tv giorgio
What's your take on Virtue?
This album aged well. Virtue and all the singles they’ve been dropping have been immaculate! The American Way, Did My Best, Prophecy of the Dragon….oh, man! Now, if you really want to be blown away, you should check out there random and incredible jam sessions during concerts. These guys have mastered music and can make it ON A WHIM!! It’s literally extraordinary!!
Very interesting melodies, chord changes and use of dissonance.
Best intro to an album ever
I'm not crazy about the whole album but some of the songs are 10/10. This is one of them :). Love the new direction and I can't wait to hear what he's got in store
I feel like this song explains how julian feelt about the music industry he wanted to be like everyone else just to be in their army of mainstream artist but now he just does his own thing and I think he should keep rolling with it

+Dossier You are totally right
Dossier beautifully done!
damn bro, I feel like you're really onto something, seems very plausible
what an incredible analysis man
edit: Reading this seems sarcastic and i do mean it
Yeah , no. It's clearly written for Nucleaur Fallout and Neo Conservative Religous Zealots. its just like the Clashs earlier work with Radio Clash.
This isn't for everybody ( not what the living masses want to hear)
This is for nobody ( its a message to the lifeless w/o a body)
It took a thousand years to build ( it took much work to build a civilization)
It took me a day to destroy ( in one day nucleaur destruction destroyed it all)
The customer is obviously
Oblivious and wrong
He also alludes to it at the ending of HUMAN SADNESS , in the end when nuclearur destructions kicks off and he puts his sunglasses on and there is a red.
In all my dreams, I'm waiting for ya
And nothing has ever changed, except I can't touch you
The best part is when I feel you
You're just watchin' me
Me
Take me in your army
*Hes making reference to religious fanatics who spend life awaiting for REVELATIONS to happen and for jesus to return; like the necons.
This is like Scorpion fighting against Baraka in a Mortal Kombat game
You're so fucking right. The whole record sounds like it would be a Mortal Kombat soundtrack, specially this song and Xerox.
Jules on Virtue: "We wanted people to love it as much as we (the Voidz) loved Tyranny."
Cuando por primera vez escuche el album dije "esto no es lo que pensaba" pero descubri que asi era el estilo de jules y no queria hacer lo mismo de the strokes, al paso del tiempo le agarre la onda y ahora es de mis discos favoritos
Igualmente.
some stuff in the songs just feels like it doesn't fit or sounds like an alarm, but soon enough you realize "this sounds awesome", it's a perfect mess.
Exactly how I'd explain it its kinda like just noise but then when u hear it u hear it
“Sinister”. The only word that comes to mind.
I love how different and wierd they are...soo fuckin badass
This whole album is a mood of its own, love it, so different to everything else
Julian has listen Depeche Mode a lot, with a little flavour of kraftwerk, new order and The Cure. Excelente!
I wish I could write and record music like this. Classic!
underrated
The only army I would ever want to be in...the Voidz army❤
If you come here, let me tell you that your musical taste is very interesting
Great to have the oficial lyrics, thanks
Very dark and twisted chord progressions. Powerful to heal deeply. 🎇🔥
Very
I feel like the potential to be an awesome person in the comment sections has never been higher. Like, you have to be somewhat cool to listen to these underground masterpieces.
esse álbum transmite um sentimento inexplicável
Textured, multidimensional sound...can't resist
Julian and the Voidz are the future in music 😩🖤
"It took a thousand years to build and only a day to destroy
The customer is obviously oblivious and wrong" It's pretty clear Julian is tired of the whole media-fan thing
whatchu mean?
That has nothing to do with the songs lyrics asshole
De las mejores canciones de Tyranny,que afortunada al poderlos seguir desde su inició y hasta ahora.🌻
in all my dreams i'm waiting for you 💔
Can't wait for your concert in sf !! Il be there 😀
This album was a breath of fresh air! Wow! I had it went it dropped, but revisiting it reminds me of how ahead their music is! They have a beautiful sound on this track sheeshhhh
im stuck between this and nintendo blood. I want them both , back to back , threeway, sloppy seconds. I love them both.....
this song is everything for me right now especially. This definitely is for nobody ...but me
Hannah Michel what about me? :(
Nathan C ok u 2 lol
Love this!
13 years after someday julian casablancas put it on himself not to forget what we knew. Wow.
1:40 hits so hard
So weird, gotta love it
Listening to this album makes my stomach hurt in such an amazing way.
I'm so proud of you, Jules. So, so proud. ❤️
Me too 😍
Their works, especially this one somehow sound perfectly fit for Rockman video game series soundtrack.
seeing them tonight
La tonalidad del coro me encanta ❤😍
A very special tune
Sounds like a Mortal Kombat Character selection screen, no?
Yes!
this song is scarier in the daYtime
I really love thart clanking sound, I'd love to find an interview of how they made the sou ds on this album if anyone knows of one I'd be grateful to have the link.
I'm interested in music production but haven't got very far with it yet tho.
It’s a distorted drum beat, the hi hat is what makes that clanking sound. I say this based on experience.
I knew about this project for so long and was so pumped for it, but never actually listened to it until now. This is fucking awesome
I also acompained the proccess of creation through blogs, sites, interviews, until I got to see their show in the Brazilian Lollapalooza in April... Since then, they improved constantly. Great job!
este album es increible
And then we understand the difference between The Voidz and The Strokes.
And what, for Julian, both mean.
the beginning reminds me of LORDEs it feels better biting down
nice！
makes me think of Throbbing Gristle
DO AMAZING
To top off the song, it's 4:20 minutes long
pluviis -passes blunt-
*blazes it*
Super
Reminds me a bit of Dave Navarro's album
anyone else getting like a MK vibe at 3:04 ?
+Luis Ortiz been digging that vibe on a lot of his music lately. 11th dimension, where no eagles fly, now here. "I wasn't ready for the podium yet/just the stage"
I hear an MGMT vibe actually
Amazing track
This sounds like the Portal 2 soundtrack and I love it
They are underground a lot
Oooh, lol misunderstanding, I was ranking the albums.. I wasn’t comparing the three. I like phrazes a little bit more than Virtue, I love The Voidz, I can’t wait for more work or even more solo work from Casablancas
whats the song at the end?
Sounds like a soundtrack for a fun house
Que temazo!!
Rofl this reminds me of the beach boys kokomo
I love this song its so fuckin grimy
X men mutant apocalypse beast song
All Wordz Are Made Up
Can i married this song?
No sé si esta música esta permitida para los mortales..
What army is he talking about? What does "take me in your army" mean?
military army
Bts 🤑
holy shit 99000 view
Je serais au casino de Paris et je compte les jours
yeah lml 🔫🚬🎵🎼
JULIAN COME TO GREECE.PLEASE COME,COME,COME,COME,TO GREECE.I WANT TO SEE YOU LIVE.COME JULIAN,COME.................JOANNA FROM ATHENS
Julian Casablanca Today is the best day of my life.Julian thank you for this message.I want to crie.All day in my mind is TYRANNY.My ears was made just for your music.I am 35 years old.I have a kid autistic 5 years old,and my dream is to go in USA with my son from GREECE just for you Julian.Just for a Live.THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWER.JULIAN CASABLANCAS YOU ARE MY HOPE

Tim Meijer Thank you so much.But i thing that i must be waiting,for a long time,to saw JULIAN CASABLANCAS here in GREECE.Why JULIAN.GREECE is Near to TURKEY.WHY...........Feeling extremely disappointed..................................................
The ending 3:33 makes me wanna join the army
Justamente suena a una versión mas synth-punk de "Domo Tu", muyy loco. Recomendame más composiciones de él, la primera vez que escuche ese tema sentí que el alma se me iba hacia otro mundo, jajajaj. Buen punto 👏, ambos temas estan adelantados a su tiempo, mas que nada este ahora
La viola del estribillo totalmente!!
Me encuché los 2 temas uno tras otro y si tienen cierta relación cabe aclarar que me gusta la música de Luis Alberto Spinetta y The Voidz
it seems like a declaration of be active refusing the podium, but mixing in a society made up of innovators and imitators(enjoing of their lashes). a society( critic to politicians) where something is accessible to someone and other thing is denied to anyone. a society in which to build something good needs a long time but politicians can destroy in oneday and the people is always wrong( this is tyranny). so julian wants to fight making part of the antisistem army.
So deep
tyranny
Phrazes for the young
Virtue
ranking it because I think the first two are really original, while virtue was the basic even though it isn't? you'll understand if you listen to the voidz and maybe two other bands everyday
Norman Garcia virtue is definitely more tamed than tyranny...but it’s still unique and very creative, the drummer went all out on that album haha.

As for phrazes It has more similarities to Virtue, just too me I like it a little more.
i agree with you.
and i honestly don't see similarities between Virtue and Phrazes, maybe my ears aren't developed enough yet? haha
My friend Jesus brought me here 📈🔥
ahora prefiero escuchar a Julian con los the Voidz que con Strokes
I want a Beyonce cover of this song
lol
uhhh wtf no
What?
yaqbec23 take it easy man
Oh, god, WTF
Occultism
😂😂😂
