In this new album, though, his vocals have definitely improved, as he sounds much clearer all while staying true to that classic Strokes sound. I can say for sure that I am all here for this new decade of Strokes music. The fretwork is catchy and versatile, and the bass and drums compliment each other almost perfectly in this new era of Strokes music. This break away from the typical fast tempo of Strokes songs is a prime example of the band’s growth for the better. All of the elements in the album work beautifully together and The Strokes have come back even better than ever.
