The Strokes' third album, 'First Impressions Of Earth', has crash landed, leaving a trail of very happy ears in its wake. Reviewers around the nation have been glowing in their assessment of the NYC quintet's latest offering, and we couldn't agree with them more - this is one album you want in your collection!
"The Strokes rock more cohesively and confidently than on previous releases," said the Daily Telegraph, naming the record their Album of the Week.

"The sound is now. Not the now of retro rock or the now of New York cool; it just sounds great right now with The Strokes' trademark metronome beats, shiny guitars and insistent basslines." Four stars - Daily Telegraph

"Forget 30 economic minutes of fuss-free rock: next to their debut, Is This It, and 2003's Room on Fire, the Strokes' third album First Impressions of Earth is an all-you-can-eat banquet... First Impressions is bigger and bolder, with more layers to explore, and more intensity exploding from the speakers." - Herald Sun Hit

"Lyrically speaking, First Impressions of Earth is introspective, some may say paranoid, but as a whole the album is a celebration. So let's do that." (Feature CD, four stars) - The Australian
