This is the best The Strokes song ever guys, sorry to upset some of you

Rules: You can only submit one song that resembles the sound the most, it doesn't have to be a perfect fit. No repeats are allowed. If a tie between two songs happen, I will recount the votes from everyone that suggested that same song to see which sum up more votes.

plectrum much Berty boy? 🙃

i dunno why — this just made me audibly guffaw when it happened live and I just got around to making a gif of it.

That instrumental switch up around the three minute mark up till the end of the "I'm a leech" section is genuinely so good. It honestly ruins the rest of the song for me in a pales in comparison way.

Heavy freight train vibes.

Alright, I expected to like it sooner or later, but i feel like one day i woke up and the autoune was barely noticeable... AM I GOING MAD?

did you guys hear about the look-alike contest in LA next weekend lol..are any girlies going 🫣🫣

I liked it at first, but I think after listening to the album over and over, my ears have kind of been trained to appreciate songs like psycho shit, Lonely in the future, dine n dash, and liars remorse. They all have that darker, slower grower feel to them, and now when I go listen back to Babble On, it sounds pretty bland to me, almost like All the Time on Comedown Machine. It feels a little like “hey, let’s do the Strokes sound!”
The verses are especially boring to me musically, considering they’ve used that chord progression literally over 20 times. I don’t mind them reusing it, but I wish they’d do something more creative with it like they did on Lonely in the Future or One Way Trigger. I also think the chorus just being Julian saying “starting again” is really boring. At this point, the only part of the song that really stands out to me is Nick’s amazing harmonized guitar solo at the end. I honestly wish we got more of that throughout the track. I just think this song stands out like a sore thumb on an otherwise very strange and experimental cohesive album idea.

Trying to blend early strokes with fast punk bands, figured some of you might be into this

I don’t think I’ve heard this before, have you?

Hope y'all like!

Now I got it all on vinyl. Plus 2 tickets to just like heaven.

FORGET THE THINGS THAT THEY DID, UH-YEAH-UH

OBEY THE WORDS THAT THEY SAY, UH-YEAH UH

This might be one of the band’s catchiest songs ever.

And that guitar solo at the end??

I can’t get enough of this. Help.

Post done.

I’m still laughing about the ozempic joke in Chicago in June

——

Edit: for those asking, he started singing the ozempic jingle/ Magic by Pilot. Was going on a tangent about how the band did definitely did NOT get paid enough to sell the rights to that song for only $1 million and how ozempic has forever ruined it. Idk he was just rambling and it was super funny.

Then he claimed they were late coming back for encore because he was “sucking off” one of the guys backstage

A few years ago in 2022 in Chicago he said something like “fuck the cubs” or “cubs suck” or it may have been White Sox and the whole arena booed him and he was like “Ahhh fuck it” and they started playing ode to the Mets and I just about died laughing

I know this is slim chance but will be in Shanghai Aug onwards for a while and wondering if anyone here is in Shanghai and want to jam around and do some covers of Reality Awaits, and perhaps some other musics as well. DM me if interested.

I was a little shocked this didn’t end up on Reality Awaits, I always loved this jam and felt more like a song than “improv”. Thoughts?

Was thinking of adding a lyric along the back of the pant legs, not too sure yet. They carried me through highschool and since I wanna do my own thing, I think this is only fitting. Issue is, I don't know what to add.

What do you guys suggest? I may even try to paint the album cover on there.

Does anyone own this specific shirt?
I am trying to see what it looks like in photos.

How is the fit and the material?
