Blogger Jason Kottke writes: "When you listen to the new Strokes album for the first time, you feel a little ripped off because it sounds so much like their first album. After the third full listen, it becomes as familiar as that favorite pair of jeans that somehow got lost in the back of the closet but which jeans you're delighted to find and start wearing again almost daily. Comfortable."

Or, as a friend of mine put it: "It sounds just like the first album, but without that one song I like."
