Singer, Julian Casablancas, of the popular rock band, The Strokes, releases new solo CD that's quite different from what fans are used to hearing...
After the third release of The Strokes album, "First Impressions of Earth," the band decided to take a break. But that didn't most of the members from making music.
All but lead guitarist, Nick Valensi, made solo albums. Though they did not meet the intensity and top charting Strokes, all music was fairly good.
In late October, "Phrazes for the Young" was released with a catchy single, "11th deminsion."
When I first heard the album, I was suprised to hear something so different. There are catchy tunes with lots of obvious 80's influence. It's basically all synthesizers, but put good use. For example, the song "Left and Right in the Dark" reminds me of a total flashback to 'Flock of Seagulls' hit "I Ran."
Strangley, there are songs that sound like a country song turned spacey. I'm not gonna hate on it cause after has feeling it. I liked this album. Though some songs bored me, but that may be cause I'm impatient. Otherwise, the album is good. Worth buying if you want to hear something different. Rock with a twist.
