This album hits number 3 on my 2011 Top 10 so far. I love Julian Casablancas' voice.The critics are mixed: out of 41 reviews on metacritic, it got 25 positive, 15 moderate and 1 reviewer dumped on it. My opinion matches up with Rolling Stone Magazine where David Fricke gave it 4 stars out of 5.
If you know Indie and Alt Rock, you probably already know the Strokes. They hit it huge with their debut, Is This It in 2001. Most of the members of the New York quintet have also done side projects and solo albums. In fact, it wasn't clear for awhile that they would reunite. Thank the music gods they did!
My favorite song is the opener Machu Picchu. Also give a listen to Taken For a Fool. (click on the song names to hear them on YouTube.com.)
