The Strokes - Angles: 7/10
Lots of good Strokes songs here, but that's all they are. They try to broaden their horizons a bit on the opening track by infusing some Central American/Afro-Caribbean licks, but it comes off as both unnecessary and forced. Reminds me of "African Child" from Get Him to the Greek. The rest of the album has The Strokes doing what they do best, though. Dunno, didn't really inspire me in any way, but it's a solid listen.
