The Strokes

was the door that people weren’t sure about/didn’t think was an obvious choice of single iirc, then bad decisions came a week later and people thought it bumped.

Rick Rubin produced this!

Explains a lot!

I like the new song!!

Amazon listing the album as coming in at a lengthy 28 minutes :rofl:

Same length as Nick Drake’s Pink Moon :drooling_face:

Yeah not really sure why the shorter runtime is an issue

Is This It & Room On Fire are 35mins and 32mins respectively. Strokes albums shouldn’t be longer than 40 mins imho.

In any event, it’s just Amazon assuming the other eight tracks are 3 minutes long exactly, a default data filler thing. I’d imagine it’ll be in ITI/ROF territory.

More worrying, is that with the single clocking in at 4:20, we already know that approximately 15.5% of the album is dogshit

Massive fan of the band and will absolutely go in to bat for every album to at least some degree.

I will very much be listening to the album in full when it comes out but… I gave up halfway through this song.

Nothing wrong with using an effect in a way that works for the song but for me that wasn’t the case here.
