- The Strokes is one of those bands that I've always wanted to get into but for some reason they've always escaped my mind. That is until I forced myself to listen to every single strokes album and review for this video

Thank you guys for watching this video! Let me know what you guys think of The Strokes. Also please tell me what artist you want me to dive into next!
Drain Gang
Ween
Neutral milk hotel, I'd say some of their unreleased albums are better than In the aeroplane
@@averagefishi second this
my bloody valentiiinnnee
You should do more "I listened to every .... Album" It is super fun to watch.
They're really fun to make as well!
i can’t believe julian recorded the first few albums on a macbook pro in his mom’s car! so inspiring!
On his mom's MacBook? Lies
@@kozhikkaalan yeah, he called his band the strokes cause he had a stroke writing the first album
Strokes gotta be added to the rock n roll hall of fame already. They almost singlehandedly saved alternative rock from going extinct
True
Personally, my favorite from them has to be the new abnormal. Since it’s release, I’ve felt every emotion possible while listening to that album. The last two tracks hit different man.
I agree that first impressions of earth is their weakest, although I do have a soft spot for heart in a cage.
Keep up the good work!
(Also “taken for a fool” off of angles is goated imo)
I honestly could see why someone would consider TNA to be their best. Definitely their most polished and emotional album it seems by far
if you wanna hear more Strokes electro-pop stuff, Julian's solo album Phrazes for the Young definitely goes quite full into that direction, it's very overlooked but certainly worth a listen if you dig the sound of Stroke electro-pop. He's also in another band called The Voidz that experiments more with electronic sounds but I wouldn't call it electro-pop. Their first album Tyranny is extremely experimental, lofi and almost noise rock at points (you might've already but listen to Human Sadness, you have to), but their second Virtue is a lot easier to digest and clean while still keeping relative weirdness and experimental-ness, both are very worth a listen if you like the idea of that sound :).
I've heard a lot good things about The Voidz so I'll defintely have to give that a listen. Thanks for letting me know about Julian's solo album too!
@@KyleReidMuhuman sadness is my bohemian rhapsody
I would love for an "I listened to every Weezer album" purely for the wide range of emotions that we would see you go through. Great video! Succinct and funny!
Adding it to the list for sure
Thanks! That means a lot to me man!
THERE'S NO BAD STROKES ALBUM. First Impressions of Earth is a good Album.
Your take on 50/50 and first impressions of earth hurt me deeply, I feel betrayed.
lmao i'm sorry
i am a FIOE truther. didnt love it at first too but it's probably my second favorite album of theirs of all time. also life is simple in the moonlight is one of their best written songs ever and i will die on this hill.
great video!! hope you'd do the voidz & weyes blood too
same
ten years later and the new abnormal is still a great album! honestly tho i’ve listened to it a ton and selfless is the first song i learned on the drums so that’s neat
You living in 2030? Lol
The songs Selfless and Eternal Summer felt like an out of body experiance the first time i listened to them. Ode To The Mets is also phenomenal. The New Abnormal is by far my favourite Strokes album, though I understand why you'd prefer Room On Fire, that album has bangers on bangers bro
The New Abnormal is one of my top 5 albums of all time, I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I agree some songs take some time to grow on you, but I will never get enough of how groovy songs like Brooklyn Bridge to Chorus or The Adults are Talking are, and how viscerally emotional Not the Same Anymore and Ode to the Mets are. It's all around a great experience every time I listen to it
Julian Casablancas (the vocalist of The Strokes) actually went on to do a lot of side projects, some of which are up to par with some of The Strokes' best stuff. With that being said, I'd definitely recommend checking out "Virtue" by The Voidz-- it's basically a more polished and finalized idea of what The Strokes intended with their more experimental and electronic releases.
I'm getting a lot of people telling me to check out The Voidz so I'll definitely have to do that
@@KyleReidMuyeah their song Human Sadness is awesome
I remember hearing that Angles was awful during the recording sessions. Apparently Julian Casablancas (Lead Singer) wasn't in the studio when they first started to make the album and ended up just sending vocals through email if the band needed them, which caused a lot of confusion in the band and made the album kind of a mess. The album was a bit of a wakeup call for them though because after Angles they realized they needed to be together to record.
What a strange thing to do..
So happy to see the love for One Way Trigger
You should watch some of the fan made music videos for strokes music. They really recontextualize every song and make it a super enjoyable experience. Also some of the official music videos for the new abnormal are amazing. My personal favorite mv is at the door.
I'll have to check them out!
Love these 'my journey into ...' videos! For the last few months I've been going through the Elliott Smith discography (didn't plan on it taking months - it just felt too intens to go through any quicker) and i don't know whether i would recommend it,,, but i would love to see you do it lol
Great video, you should do Wilco next
The Strokes are my favorite band oat and at one point I was statically their #1 fan on Spotify. I always like to hear others opinions on all of their albums and it was interesting to see what you thought about their middle albums (FOE, angles, comedown machine). Solid analysis
Def one of my favorite bands, my favorite album by them is probably The New Abnormal, with Is This It as a close second.
You won't enjoy first impressions of earth in just 1 2 listens man... It grows on you and this is an underrated album
i kinda understand your opinion about comedown machine, fioe and angles bc at first i think everyone thrashes them. However i think the more you listen to those records the more you appreciate them bc of how different they are to their to first ones. It’s like, the more you listen the more you understand them, even though at first you may hated them. It’s a weird feeling but you end up loving and vibing to every strokes track (you gotta check out their singles compilation album with a couple of other unreleased tracks)
i'll accept that you didnt like angles but what i will not accept is no mention of Life is Simple In the Moonlight cuz its their best song
early! my mom is obsessed with first impressions of earth and i don’t really get it. i love comedown machine, room on fire, and the new abnormal.
i recommend checking out the voidz and julian’s solo album.
Interesting choice mom
Great video dude! New Abnormal still their best album but it's fine ;(
forgot to mention this in the last video, but you should listen to Jim O'Rourke's "Fast Car (Live at Japan 2002.9.16)", incredibly beautiful ambient and drone piece.
I've heard that Live at Japan is a great album so it's definitely on my list of albums to check out
Didn't have good first impressions of First Impressions of Earth either, but I sat on it and came back to it a couple months later and it grew on me. Same for Comedown Machine and some songs on Angles
I'm in the New Abnormal stan group, but I liked seeing you put Room on Fire as your #1 respectable even if I disagree. You should do more of these full discography videos, I like getting new recommendations. You could try Arctic Monkeys next (I only like their first album but holy shit it became my favorite garage rock album so fast). I'd also like to see you do Muse, Big Thief, Led Zeppelin, Coin, Alvvays, Wolf Alice, and The Backseat Lovers. Apart from that, you could check out Mic The Snare because he does the same thing (with a different style).
I dig your taste
Any album with At the Door is not playing it safe
I meeeaaan compared to what they were doing before...
please do a weezer version of this. The trajectories are similar, beloved first two albums and a string of mediocre releases, sub-par lyrics and late-career classics. It could be a fun vid.
Kyle, did you just call Call it Fate, Call it Karma a FILLER TRACK??? 😫😫😫
Yes.. Yes I did
Angles is easily better than comedown macjine, has to be the worst thing ive heard someone say is comedown>angles.
you gotta do ween one day and also the velvet underground
angles is really good what
Idk dude I just don't connect with it I guess
We need more of this series w diff artists?
Yes! He's doing Swans!!
I skipped straight to the Comedown Machine section, I am pleased
but 50/50 goes hard
new Kyle Reid!!!!@!@!!
The funny thing I find with the strokes is that all their songs I originally hated I ended up liking the most. Especially juicebox and 50/50, thought they were total shit, now I love them and think they're bangers. I never know wether Julian makes lyrics that are actually deep and well thought out or if he's just saying vague stuff so you think he's very deep and intelligent because you could apply any meaning to them haha
Hahahaha that comment about the lyrics is really funny
dude same with both those are 2 of my all time favs, esp 50/50 thats my number one favorite ever. was sad to see the hate for it in this vid
Ize of the world lyrics is so insane an underrated from first impressions plz give it another listen of course it's all opinions! Also juciebox is really good and heart on cage
After a couple years, these songs GROW on you.. like everyone of them..
Vision of division heart in a cage razor blade ize of the world + yolo = FIOE EP they should have made it only these songs and improve the quality bc these songs are good.
The album is soooo bloated dude. If it was just 30 minutes of the best songs from the album then I probably would've enjoyed it more
You should do Alex G 🙌
im going through the swans discog rn, and honestly, listening to the longer ones arent as bad as i thought it would be. I do recommend listening to it when doing some sort of school work or editing, so that it makes it a little easier to sit through
Someone tell this dude about The Voidz
you gotta listen to the voidz! hearing human sadness for the first time changed my life
Now do The Voidz and Julian's solo album.
So half of their albums are goated. Great video btw, pls do this with the Arctic monkeys frontman Alex turner just wanted to be one of the strokes
First Impressions and Angles have some great songs, but you’re right about how they’re all over the place. It seemed like during that era that they were banking on having a radio hit rather than making a genuine good album.
You should do Turn on The Bright Lights. It's the other darker side of the coin of the New York post-punk revival that started with The Strokes.
ITI is my fav album from them but Ode to the Mets is my fav song. it means so much to me it’s so beautiful
It os saod that the Velvet Underground didn't sell a lot of albums, but anyone who did started a band.
Julian Casablanca is clearly one of those people.
i’ve never heard you talk about david bowie, he’s worth going through!
Maybe check out Future Present Past EP. It's only 3 songs and they are very their own style
I was in denial for a long time abt fioe & angles bc I just wanted to love everything The Strokes did bc I love The Strokes but I eventually accepted that they can't have 6 perfect 10/10 albums so I'm fine w the 2 perfect ones they have (Is This It & Room On Fire) and I like Comedown Machine & The New Abnormal a lot as well
Angles is a good album so it could take a couple of listens, but while i disagree with you i do have to respect your opinion,
you didn’t like Two Kinds of Happiness? i really believe you have to listen to it more, it’s a good song & very similar to stuff you said you liked lmao
and yeah Angles has many other good quintessential Strokes songs. Taken for a Fool, Gratisfaction & the last song are all great
I'm going to have to give it some more listens for sure. Just not the biggest fan of the vocals and lyrics on that track to be honest. Also the the transition from the verse to chorus is so jaunting to me for whatever reason. I will admit though, Gratisfaction is great
You gotta give fioe more listens don't worry
I legitimately don't think I can
@@KyleReidMuidk about the rest of the album but I love the razorblades, the riff is hypnotic and his singing is so insufferable in a nice way (also the lyrics are weirdly insightful? )
You need to explore freddie gibbs, trust me, listen to pinata, alfredo, and bandana.
Heard a lot about this guy but I've never dove into his stuff
Hi Kyle
Hi jjellzz
This is not Drain Gang 😢
One day
can you please at least mention the masterpiece that is Ize of the World
ok ya that song is one of the good ones
I think "Is this it" is the Strokes Masterpiece, because the Songwriting and the vibe are better than on the
other albums.
Maybe you can do an Arctic Monkey's Discography dive.
The first Album (Whatever people say i am...) is a Post-punk 10/10 in my opinion, and they changed there
Style to more modern Rock with nearly every record (like the Strokes too) .
(and it's definitely more listenable than the Swans !).
Listen to every weezer album. I dare you.
thats so fucked what you did to First Impressions lmfao
They will grow on you
the strokes is the best band living
your opinion on first impressions is so real. spit your shit king 👑
I always be saying it how it is
Portishead Discography is amazing
Kendrick Lamar could be interesting too
oooo Kendrick would be fun
Angles is not a terrible album c’mon that’s a shocking thing to say😂 also FIOE does get better and better with listens, it’s probably their worst album but a bad strokes album is still better than majority of bands
do The Beatles
Razorblade is Goated
You should listen to Peppa Pig's albums
Definitely putting that one on the list
i will not accept 50/50 hate
Consider yourself an opp 💀💀💀💀
I completely agree with your final opinion, FIOE is easily their worst album, and Comedown Machine is a hidden gem that took awhile to grow on me. But now I’d say comedown machine and the new abnormal are their best records.
not a big fan of their early lyrics but I love the lyrics from the new abnormal
Hmmm maybe I gotta dive a littler deeper into them then
It's unfortunate that the production of FIOE is so shit and that they didn't make it shorter, because there are some brilliant songs on there. I didn't appreciate them until I heard them live. Songs like Heart in a Cage, Juicebox, and Ize of the World are frequently on their setlists because the crowds love them so much. If I want to listen to those songs, I just find live versions and watch those.
iTI, ROF, TNA, CM, FIOE and Angles.
I think exactly the same, the songs are almost all good, but there is something in the sound that make the listening experience of the album as a whole almost annoyng. I wish they will make a remaster version one day.
@@rufus4452 the songs are fire and the production is a wet blanket that suffocatrs the life out.
First impressions is underrated. How is juicebox bad bruh
the strokes are such a high b tier indie rock band like ill throw them every now and then but nothing theyve made has really made me say wow this is really good yknow
Ya that's a great way to describe the band honestly
Don't Be a Coconut
frfr
Call it fate, call it karma filler????
i feel like the strokes are one of those bands that are really replayable (which is probably why they're my most streamed band) but not necessarily the best and most unique
Ya that's a good way to put it
Yeah L take on angles and first impressions of earth
I’ll be honest, for some reason I don’t even like their second album. But, is this it is one of my favorite albums ever. I don’t know why!!
That's interesting
On one hand, I am offended at you saying RoF is better than ITI
But also I didn't really disagree with anything you said about RoF having better production and writing so idk
My opinion:
Is This It is just the perfect album, production sounds incredible(because it was intentionally based on industrial music), the compositions are masterful. The lyrics are so good, they are kinda direct but subtle about it.
Room On Fire for me is just a more weak and repetitive Is This It, also, every song has a 7 second silence that just song. But It has some of the best band songs, Reptilia is their best song.
First Impressions Of Earth for me I get it that it is kinda forgettable on first listens, but if you attach to it, you just gonna end with their second best album. Juicebox is a banger, 15 minutes is just so creative. I think that is so overlooked. Serious dude, listen to Ize of The World and dont say to me that chorus just ascend you to the universe.
Angles just stinks, but the opener and the last song are good.
Comedown Machine has the "worst strokes album" title, but it doesnt deserve it. It really has some great songs and Julian has some nice vocals.
The New Abnormal, YEAAHHHHH BOYYSS, THEY TOOK 15 YEARS AFTER IMPRESSIONS OF EARTH BUT THEY MADE IT. Eternal Summer, The Adults Are Talking, Ode to The Mets, they all are some of the best band songs.
Yeah, Strokes is a phenomenal band, such an influential and incredible band. Hyped for the Swans one, they are my favorite band oat, great video kyle
outing myself as an oldhead but it's so wild to me a lot of people's favorite Strokes album isn't Is This It. regardless, very happy they're still finding success. also FIOE does suck lol
You sound like the average youtube music reviewer who knows nothing about music and judges things based on his whimsical bro vibes 🤡
