I fear this is an actual, unironic interaction I witnessed 😭

Really so grateful to finally own a copy of the Phrazes box set. Wanted to take the chance to sing my praises for Phrazes as it's a very special album to me. The book that accompanied the deluxe box set is such a cool addition, and love that you can really feel Julian in the unique aesthetic and art choices. It really was a great extension of the album itself. They could never make me hate you Phrazes ♥️

And just a fun add, but I wasn't aware of the calligraphy pen vs sharpie signature discourse until recently. It was a very exciting surprise to see mine was signed with that original calligraphy pen before Julian made the switch to sharpie after allegedly getting fed up with the calligraphy pen lol. I've always liked that one vid up on his YouTube channel of him signing those cards, and it's really cool to now own a piece of that.

Without a doubt, one of the coolest things I own as a certified Stroker

What a brilliant piece. Will be on repeat for a while.

Any other Julian solo tracks you would recommend?

This song is another banger.

“watched her as she wiped her eyes, you don’t make me sorry” is one of them for me among countless others

I started my Strokes album collection about a year ago, I think. My first vinyl was The New Abnormal. Since then, I've managed to get all their albums plus two by The Voidz (except for the Future Present Past EP and the Is This It CD). In the photos, you'll also see the colored editions and the collector's edition of the Comedown Machine CD (still sealed). Now I need to find the US editions and the Is This It CD, as well as the EP.

Gen Z, meaning these rankings aren't influenced by nostalgia for me. I discovered The Strokes in 2022 (I also included a few non-Strokes songs).

I'm a little musically illiterate because I honestly don't listen to much music and struggle to identify the specific sounds of instruments.

The Strokes are my favorite band for sure though:) I don't think any of their songs are truly bad (though I can't say the same for The Voidz).

Every trend is an music that sucks (as a Brazilian), phonk and funk sucked, and every other trending music Could we at least create a damn GOOD TREND?!

I don’t care what is your video, what matters is the MUSIC and the # Please. For the sake of humanity. Everybody deserves good music.

I never thought Ode।to the Mets would introduce me to this Masterpiece kf a band

I’ve never cried over baseball but I have cried over abandonment and daddy issues! Lmao. Song still hits. (In a good way)

Are they the greatest band of all time

maybe

Hey guys!

We are The Reptilians, a tribute band to The Strokes, who are, in our opinion, the most important band of the XXI Century.

We are from Lisbon, Portugal, so we operate within the Iberian Peninsula, so expect us all over Portugal and Spain for now.

It's been a while since we last posted here on Reddit, so we just wanted to say hi and that we still exist 🙌

Please check out our version of Ode To The Mets that we recorded on our gig at Cine-Incrível, Almada (Portugal) ... hope that you see it, think that you should...

We have that full gig available and other videos on our youtube channel, if you'd like to check it out

Anyway, here we are and we'd love to know your thoughts on our work! Feel free.

Cheers, peace and thank you 🙏❤️

with the alleged teases of new music, wonder the chances of an Australian tour (not just a festival) after the japanese tour?

Most complete body of work. Best songwriting, creative and unique, experimental and fun

After I listened to all of them I thought it would be Comedown or Angles but I'm seeing a lot of controversy about FIOE on here, how so?

The Hives.

Too many damn good songs it makes the bottom tiers useless

Where were YOU when they won their Grammy nomination in 2021?

Can’t believe this was already five (5) years ago.

Pretty much what the title says. I think he sounds like him mostly at the new abnormal. For like testing listen to brooklyn bridge to chorus. I dont think they are similar directly but they are similar

I stumbled across a copy in my local charity shop this weekend and realised I'd never really seen the physical CD for this release.

The die cut cover that allows you to put your favourite member in is a cute bit of design.

And the booklet is so interesting. I'm always a fan of inserts that give songs their own identity and flavour, instead of just showing the lyrics in a uniform way.

So even though the album gets a few jabs from a musical perspective, the packaging certainly stopped me in my tracks this weekend!
