“Click to listen to The Strokes’ "Under Cover of Darkness" "Don’t try to stop us/Get out of the way," Julian Casablancas sings with a snapping relish at the end of Angles, the Strokes’ new album, in a song called "Life Is Simple in the Moonlight."

“On their latest LP, the Strokes want to head in a new direction, but they can't decide on one.”
“The Strokes return after a lengthy hiatus following the disappointing First Impressions of Earth, and they sound fragmented with a lack of purpose.”
“Angles is overall pretty good but something about it just doesn’t click like their other projects, I think the tracks are pretty consistent for the most part but in some areas drag on for way too long, the vocals on the album are still very impressive, and I think it’s a pretty enjoyable piece of music”
“Some good songs, Under Cover Of Darkness, Machu Pichu and Taken For A Fool. That’s it. Everything’s else trash.”
