Album Capsules--The Strokes

The Strokes

Comedown Machine

7/100

This album is either an early April Fool's joke or else a-ha locked these guys in the bathroom and recorded this album, or else the band has basically just thrown up its collective hands and said, "Fuck it, let's collect one more time from suckers who think we will ever be as good as our first album."  As a bonus feature, each time you play the album, the entire band shits in your ears, calls it music, and then hopes that you will pay for it.  Play most of these songs and, except for "All the Time," you won't recognize the band.  You'd probably guess that Comedown Machine is a compilation of B-sides of a bunch of one-hit wonders from the eighties.

[EDIT: At Grrouchie's request, here's a song from the album.]

  1. At first I read that as 71/100 and couldn't figure out why the hell you were ripping it to shreds..

    then I relooked and saw 7....
    And no Song/Video to go with it.
    I almost want to listen to this now
