Angles (Vinyl)

Product Description

The Strokes announce the release date for their highly anticipated fourth album, Angles, on March 22nd via RCA records in the US, and March 21st via Rough Trade Records in the UK. Angles is the band s first new release since 2006 s First Impressions of Earth and marks the ambition of that album with the immediacy of the band s earlier albums Is This It (2001) and Room On Fire (2003). In 2010, the band returned to the road, playing and headlining major festivals in the United States and UK, including the Isle of Wight Festival, Lollapalooza, Hurricane Festival, Splendour In The Grass, Rockness, Outside Lands, and Austin City Limits. Time Out Chicago hailed the Lollapalooza performance as the best set I ve seen since covering Lollapalooza. Better than Radiohead in 2008. Better than... who headlined last year? ...The crowd...was euphoric.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not So Technical Review, March 22, 2011
    This review is from: Angles (Audio CD)
    Ok, so I didn't do any research into who wrote what song or how they recorded them. I won't shove garbage down your throat regarding if they were bored, losing their touch or blessed by an angelic muse.

    What I can tell you is that this doesn't sound like anything out there, but The Stokes.
    Angles brought out a feeling of nostagic fun for my wife and I. Yes, it is a bit different than their previous albums, but I think the positive outweighs the negative here.

    Angles starts out new and fresh for several songs. The vocal mix towards the end of Machu Picchu gave me chills. Under the cover of Darkness is the kind of music that drew me into this band. Two Kinds of Happiness is chock full of those passionate vocals I love and is probably my favorite song on the cd.
    Best part was catching my wife dancing along to Taken for a Fool and Games in the kitchen while making lunch. Games made me feel like it was 1984 all over again :)

    The album has a few... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Angles, A Masterpiece, March 23, 2011

    Under Cover of Darkness and Machu Picchu are classics but the real gem is the Life Is Simple In The Moonlight. I feel that this album was a revival for the band and its a pleasure to see them focusing on the music with the same passion that they had for Is This It.

    Angles deserves the over-exposure that so many new albums are getting these days. While "Under Cover Of Darkness" has already gotten significant play, this album is chock full of other songs that deserve attention.

    The Strokes are splitting the difference with this new album. In some ways, this is more of the same music that fans have come to love from previous albums like Is This It and Room on Fire. "Under Cover of Darkness," "Taken For A Fool" and "Gratisfaction" are great examples.

    And in other ways, they have clearly... Read more
