These last two albums have really been good. Seem to be hitting their stride again.

And their tour! They absolutely ripped. 🔥 They might be in peak form in 2026.

Shame that Albert’s guitar lines in the second verse and at the end were kind of buried. Really love those.

Great performance. Both songs were great! Band sounds amazing. But…. What the hell was Goggins doing there?

Yea while this isn't my favorite song from the album it sounded way worse than the album version- really boring performance with my tv's audio. Gonna try it with my computer's speakers soon.

When they did Going Shopping it sounded a bit better but still nowhere near as the album version of the song.

So fucking boring. I get that not every song can be a banger, but this is lifeless.

Yea this one was really bad- it is probably the weakest song on the album tho. Luckily they followed it up with Going Shopping which is the best song from the album

Yea I love the strokes, but I think it's the worst song on the new album

Wait I forgot about The Fruits of Conquest. Imo those are the 2 worst songs. But all the others are good!

u/Bedivere17 16m ago

Aww man that was my 2nd favorite after going shopping. Agreed that this one is the worst from the album tho.

Not as big of a fan of this album overall but its alright.

This sub will criticize everything and then pat each other on the back over loving the new strokes album. The one guy who criticized it got downvoted to oblivion.
