Everything is relative.

It worth the wait. Angles, the fourth album of The Strokes is here. The album will be out everywhere  next week, but it is possible to find it for free on their official web:  http://new.thestrokes.com/ or on the internet in a "non-legal way"

It have been five years without an album of The Strokes, maybe because some of them recorded solo albums as Julian Casablancas or Albert Hammond Junior or maybe becuase they have had a lot of problems with the recording. Julian Casablancas said that it was because they pretended to do an album better than Is this it. Did they get it? No, they didn't . Is this it is one of the best albums of the 21th century and I think that it is next to impossible  beat it. 

Previously, we could heard  two songs of the album: Under Cover of Darkness and You' re so Right. The first one, demostrated the guitar playing, the garage rock and the essence of the Strokes and the second one shown a evolution of the band more mature that make me forget the young rhythm which I used to heard.

Some songs, as Machu Picchu and Metabolism sound completly strokes, like if they belong to another previous album. Gratisfaction is a song that give me a smile and a good feeling about the life. Call me Back it is maybe my favorite song of the album with the brilliant voice of Julian. And I am sure that Two Kinds of Happiness will be one of my songs of the summer.

The album's cover looks ugly when you look it for the first time. I think, it is the feeling they want to transmit. The album is called angles. And the cover is full of angles. Can be another angle our opinion about the cover or the album? Everything is relative. Also I think it is a wink to Escher, a graphic artist who created impossible constructions. I like it more each time.

Hopefully, this summer I will go back to Super Bock Super Rock Festival and I will see them on live. Last year I saw Julian Casablancas and it was not as good as expected. But I am sure with the whole band and the excellent songs the concert have to be amazing.
