People got excited about that new song from The Strokes because of sense-memory from 2001. "Under Cover of Darkness" had that come and gone Strokes sound that's remembered so fondly by so many people, not an exact replica of the bands' past but with the same sense of wisdom. This song isn't that. It's from their forthcoming album Angles, and it's not like it's a bad thing that they're trying new things, it's just not the same. Take a listen and see if you love the way 2011 sounds as much as the way a decade ago did. (via Consequence of Sound)
